Xiaomi Mi 9T/Redmi K20 review By GSMArena Official

Hey, what's up guys the red make a twenty is part of a brand new mid-range lineup by Xiaomi and globally is called the. Ninety they'll get it confused with the nine, which came out just a few months ago as a mid-range rather than a flagship. What does this one bring to the table and will for GSM, marina and let's find out in our four of you, like many premium phones? These days, the shell me 90 is made from glass with an aluminum frame. We light our carbon black model, which has a striped pattern lurking beneath the surface, but the dazzling, glacier blue, is also quite striking. The glass back is curved, and this tapered edges give the phone an elegant. Look the accents on the camera and the power button are a nice touch too.

The phone is big and slippery, and, like the regular me 9, there is no waterproofing here, be careful when you're out by the pool this summer, one of the mean 90 is special features. This is motorized pop-up selfie cam, unlike other similar pop-up modules. We've seen this one is accented with eye-catching LED. Strips as if we needed more reasons to play around with it, we're always wary of movable parts, as these may be easier to break, but Xiaomi promises that the mechanism will survive at least 300,000 actuation, and if you drop the phone with a selfie cam out, it'll automatically retract to try and protect itself as a result of the hideaway selfie camera the mean 90 has a notch free edge to edge display it's a brilliant six point: four inch AMOLED with a tall aspect ratio and a 1080p resolution content looks great on this screen with this deep AMOLED, blacks and a sharp 403 PPI, it supports HDR content too, and colors can be quite accurate. Based on your color settings, like most amyloid.

This one has support for an always-on display for your time and notifications, and it has various themes you can choose from too beneath the screen is one of the fastest under display fingerprint readers I've ever used. Unlocking is a breeze, a lot more responsive than plenty of other phones we've seen lately. If you want face unlock, is another option, though it does require you to swipe on the screen. So it's not as fast and this feature may not be available in all regions. Alongside all the cutting-edge features, the 90 still brings a regular 3.5, millimeter, Jack and FM. Radio audio through headphones has very good loudness, but we wish the stereo separation was better.

The loudspeaker is on the bottom. Next to the USB. Port is scored a very good mark and a loudness tests. Sound quality is also very good, though there is some distortion in the higher registers at max volume. The 90 runs the latest me you over entered 9 pi.

It brings quite a few customizations over vanilla, Android. One of the biggest differences is that there's no app drawer here. All of your apps will be kept on the home screen and the test switcher is organized vertically in two rows. We feel lucky that the apps that came pre-installed didn't have any ads or banners in them. Some regions will get these by default, and you'll have to turn them off manually.

You can customize your home screen with different themes, but they're only available. If you set your phone to a supported region like India for storage, you can opt for 64 or 128 gigs built-in and sadly that's it. There is no way to expand it via micros. At the heart of the Xiaomi me 90 is the most powerful mid-range chipset from Qualcomm. The Snapdragon 730, along with 6 gigs of ram in benchmarks, had tops the charts against the competition, and we didn't encounter any overheating or throttling the flagship.

Snapdragon a 55 will still beat it in graphics performance, but you won't have any problems playing the latest games here. The mid-nineties, 4000 million power battery, is about 20% larger than the one inside the 9 and a posted, an excellent endurance rating of a hundred hours and our proprietary tests. It charges really fast -. With this 18 watt charger, we were able to go from 0 to 45 percent charge in half an hour on the back of the 90, there's a triple camera setup. We have a 48 megapixel main camera.

The quad bear filter an 8, megapixel, telephoto cam and a 13 megapixel ultra-wide cam. None of these have, oh, is the main cameras. Images are 12 megapixels by default. We were really impressed by the quality. They have excellent detail, great contrast, true to life colors and a wide dynamic range.

If you want, you can also shoot in 48 megapixel resolution. It isn't really worth the extra storage space to take up there. Isn't that much more detail when using the telephoto camera. Zoomed images look great with plenty of detail somewhere a bit noisier than the photos from the main cast, but this is one of the better telephoto shooters out there portraits are taken with a telephoto, cam — and taking the best shot requires plenty of light. If you get it right, the portraits are quite nice and detailed with excellent subject: separation and convincing D, focusing now onto the ultra wide-angle camera quality, is a bit lower than the other two, but the colors are still nice, and noise levels are low.

If you turn off the automatic distortion correction, you get a sharper image at the expense of some curvature. At the edges of the frame, now, let's move on to low-light photography, regular shots from the main camera turn out. Just okay, the lack of all is restricts the shutter speed, so exposure is darker than we'd, like the phone, must use higher ISO and then reduces the noise with aggressive noise reduction, which takes its toll on the level of detail. If you turn on the dedicated night mode, shots take a bit longer, but it is worth it. You get a proper exposure and subjects.

Look a bit more detailed. They are still rather soft, though. If you want to zoom at night, you won't be shooting through the telephoto cam. Instead, you get a digitally cropped and zoomed photo from the main camp. Nighttime photos from the ultra wide-angle camera aren't very good due to the aggressive noise reduction, dark exposure overall, softness and lack of detail, and you can't use night mode with this camera.

Let's talk about the selfies, the motorized camera has fixed focus, but if you get the focus distance right, shots turn out excellent. They have more than enough detail. Nice, colors and good sharpness. Dynamic range isn't impressive, but auto HDR does improve things. The 90 can capture videos in up to 4k at 30fps, and they have electronic stabilization.4K videos from the main camera are sharp and detailed. There's low noise, nice, color rendition and wide dynamic range, the ultra wide-angle 4k, videos are softer than the regular ones and less detailed their color rendition is over saturated and the dynamic range is narrower.

If you wanted to take a video with the telephoto cam, sadly it is impossible. Zoomed videos are just a digital crop from the output of the main cam. Overall, the cameras of the 90 are surprisingly excellent. During the day at night, don't expect a lot and better stick to night mode. So that's the Xiaomi me 90 or red, make a 20.

Almost every feature is a win here from the notch free AMOLED screen is a lightning-fast under display fingerprint reader, the solid battery life fast, charging, great cameras, killer, chipset and, of course, that pop-up selfie cam. You can show off to your friends as far as downsides. The cameras aren't that great at nighttime shooting, but they're all right, and your storage is an expandable here. But to be honest, there isn't a lot to complain about so overall the mean 90 is a feature pack upper mid-range device that a lot of people would be happy with. It brings great value and definitely earns our recommendation.

Thanks for watching guys and see you on the next one.
