Redmi 9C Review By YugaTech

Hey guys Justin here of fintech, and if you look at entry level smartphones from a few years back you'll see devices that are considered as affordable, yet are under powered. I mean you can't even consider these as daily drivers, since they can't do continuous, multitasking or even gaming, but now we see more of these entry-level smartphones with hardware that punches above its price, and one of them is the Xiaomi Redmi 9c. Now is this the daily driver for you? Let's find out all right. Let's talk about design. First, the Redmi 9c is quite a big device, thanks in part to its huge battery, but also its design, while the 6.53-inch, HD, plus IPS display, doesn't sound as big as other smartphones in the market. Today, the bezels surrounding the screen are quite thin by today's standards, resulting in an overall larger profile.

At the back, you can find the square shaped, protruding rear camera module that contains three sensors, and you'll also find here its fingerprint scanner, as well as some Redmi branding. The back has a pattern: that's similar to the Redmi 9a. It sort of resembles a fingerprint which is basically like a bunch of curved lines. It looks pretty cool, there's a bit of texture to it, and you need not worry about smudges, since it's not glossy on the left side, we have the triple card tray with dedicated slots for two NATO sim cards and a micros card. Meanwhile, on the right we have the volume, rocker and power button.

The bottom part contains the micro USB port microphone and loudspeaker, while up top, we get the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack nice. The Redmi 9c is one chunky and hefty smartphone, it's quite tall and wide too, but the overall feel is robust, and it's still comfortable to hold thanks to the matte finish on the back panel and the curvature on the sides. Although some users with small hands might find it difficult to navigate with one hand, though now for display the Redmi 9c features a 6.53-inch, HD plus IPS dot drop display, which equates to 269 pixels per inch. It's a decent resolution even for a screen of this size, as the pixels aren't noticeable when viewed from a normal distance. The colors are not as spongy as those found in AMOLED screens, but they're natural and accurate viewing angles are okay, although it gets deemed when viewed from extreme angles, it's also prone to glare meaning it can easily reflect strong light sources, especially outdoors.

The screen is also not as bright as we prefer. Honestly. We enjoy watching YouTube and Netflix videos on it. The audio is crisp and loud. Although the lows are almost non-existent, it's good for casual, listening, Zoom calls and hands-free voice calls, but if you want a perfect listening experience, we still recommend that you take advantage of its headphone jack, make sure to use your favorite wired headphones or a Bluetooth speaker next up performance powering the Redmi 9c is the MediaTek hello g35 chip paired with the power VR GE, 8320 GPU.

We get two or three gigabytes of ram and 32 or 64 gigabytes of internal storage. The model we have on hand is the 2 gigabytes, plus 32 gigabyte variant. It's good enough for basic tasks, including surfing the web and heavy use of social media apps. You can play live games on it. Although you don't expect a fluid experience on more demanding games, we were still able to play mobile legends, but in the medium graphic settings, given the small ram, its multitasking capabilities are also limited.

Basically, this configuration of the Redmi 9c is just for basic tasks and light applications for some numbers check out the benchmark scores we got now. As for software, the Redmi 9c runs on android 10 skinned with mini 12.0.1. It looks similar to mini 11, but with some nicer visual tweaks, it still uses multiple home screens to house the apps, and you still have the option to navigate the interface using the traditional buttons or with full gestures noticeably. There are plenty of apps pre-installed, but not all of them are bloatware. There's the stock mini apps and the usual google apps, the third party ones, are Facebook, WPS Office, Netflix, Lazada and six games.

You can simply uninstall them if you don't like it. When it comes to battery the Redmi, 9c is equipped with a large 5000mah capacity that should last you two days if you're, not a heavy user in the PC Mark's battery test, the battery life was rated at 18 hours and 27 minutes, which is great. However, charging is low, as it only supports 10 watts charging. Meanwhile, in our standard video loop test, which entails the phone being at 50, brightness 50 volume, airplane mode turned on and with headphones plugged in the device, lasted a longer 18 hours and 48 minutes, and when it comes to biometrics and security, you can unlock the phone through facial recognition and its in-display fingerprint scanner, which didn't work, pretty quick compared to others. We've tried, but it's still reliable.

Moving on to cameras, the Redmi 9c gets a triple rear camera setup, consisting of a 13 megapixel primary, a 5 megapixel ultra-wide and a 2 megapixel depth for portraits. Although the sensor resolution is not as high as those found in more expensive phones, this configuration makes it a versatile shooter that can adapt, depending on the user's needs, we're not expecting much from an entry-level smartphone, but based on the photos we've taken, the Redmi 90 came out as a pretty good shooter for its caliber shots taken in the bright outdoors. Looks sharp with great contrast: the colors are rich too, especially the greens, reds and blues. It can still manage decent photos indoors, although you will notice that it starts losing details and colors as the light gets dimmer for selfies. The 5 megapixel shooter is decent as well, not a lot of resolution to go around, but the quality is great.

If you're taking photos in a bright environment, the portrait mode works, but expect it not to be perfect still, it can be used for social media uploads. As for videos, the Redmi 9c can shoot up to 1080p at 30 frames per seconds. I didn't notice any stabilization, but the colors are great, there's noticeable over sharpening but not aggressive. Okay, let's talk about price. The Redmi 9c exists to provide users with a smartphone that has a large screen capable performance, versatile cameras and long battery life without breaking the bank at 5290 pesos for the 2 gigabytes plus 32 gigabytes model.

This makes it one of the most affordable and compelling smartphones for its class. However, we recommend getting the three gigabytes plus 64 gigabytes model for 5990 pesos, so you get better multitasking capabilities and more storage and therefore more value for your money.
