Xiaomi Redmi 9T Long-Term Review: THE budget phone to beat? By The Modern Creatures

Hey guys Kevin here, you're with the modern creatures and welcome to another video aiming to offer bang for the buck. Entry-Level smartphone Xiaomi is introduced in the country, the Redmi 90 early on in the year we've had it for a while now and as a daily driver. Is it worth its 6999 price tag, spoiler alert, it is and here's why, but again before that, hit that subscribe button. If you enjoyed videos like this, because there will be more coming, the Redmi 90 carries a simple, yet thought out design. It has rounded corners and an anti-fingerprint textured back. That appears, like the sun's race kind of reminds me of Realme c3 from last year's review.

Anyway. The back panel is available in different colors, namely carbon gray twilight, blue sunrise, orange and ocean green for the camera module. It has a mirror-like finish surrounding the quad camera setup of the Redmi 19. More on the lenses later on talking about button placements, they're all lined up on the right, with the volume rocker right, alongside its power and lock button, which also doubles as a physical fingerprint scanner. Meanwhile, on the left is its dual sim tray with a dedicated micro SD slot for storage expansion down under is a speaker grill and an USB USB-C port for faster charging and data transfer.

It's nice to see more and more entry-level phones, adapting to USB type-c good job Xiaomi and for mobile gamers, and those who, like watching on their phones, you'd, be glad to know that it comes with a 3.5, millimeter, audio jack up top and a second speaker grille, so that media consumption is more immersive and with balanced, audio left and right. Overall, it's got a solid feel on the hand and is on the chunky side, which is understandable due to its large battery capacity. It definitely has a heft to it, but not too much and one hand. Navigation is easy, even if you find yourself spending a bit too much time scrolling on TikTok with gaming and power consumption in mind. The Redmi 90 features a large 6.53 inch, full HD plus display the screen. Real estate is not fully maximized, though, as it has a small chin down here, and it has this.

Water drop shaped camera notch. Still it's more immersive than other phones with a regular display size when it comes to streaming videos or playing games. Colors are lively enough and clarity is more than passable. Those on Netflix or other streaming platforms would be glad to know that this phone supports white vine l1. So you can watch movies and TV shows in HD quality and to complete the mobile media experience its stereo speakers are loud enough and can help put you in a different environment, whether you're going for a quick match with friends or watching your favorite TV show.

You also don't have to worry too much about spending time on your phone as it passed and received the Rhineland low, blue light certification and reinforcing the screen is corning gorilla, glass, 3 that adds a layer of protection against scratches equipped with a quad camera setup with AI. This phone promises to capture and produce quality images straight out of camera, with a 48 megapixel main sensor, 8 megapixel ultra-wide and 2 megapixel lenses for both macro and depth. The Redmi 90 was able to capture decent images overall, outdoors colors are vibrant without being too overly saturated. HDR improves the balance between light and dark areas and helps produce quality photos and for indoor shots. Details are still intact, but it's a bit prone to showing artifacts.

When you look closely, it's not a dealbreaker though, and it still produces decent detail and colors and lastly, for selfies, you get almost the same level of quality, with a good dynamic range most of the time. The phone also comes with additional features like movie frame. That makes your photos look like movie, stills and time-lapse for creating more creative shots. Running at the heart of the Redmi 90 is a snapdragon 662 processors. It's a mid-range CPU that not only makes it possible to improve captured images, but also capable gaming performances with its onboard graphics, processor.

It is then partnered with 4 gigabytes of ram and 64 gigabytes of storage, with the option for up to 512 gigabytes of additional micros storage, definitely not the highest on the phone, but it's powerful enough for ordinary day-to-day tasks like scrolling through different social media feeds and switching between multiple apps. There are certain hiccups sometimes, when you browse through mini 12, but overall it was a smooth experience day in and day out. It was also able to run games like Call of Duty and mobile legends in high settings with no distracting lags inputs were responsive enough, especially for titles that need quick reflexes. It was also able to run heavier games like gentian impact, but with settings on the moderate side. In terms of heat management, the phone does get warm while playing games, but nothing too uncomfortable with their time with it.

The top part near the cameras, gets warm after about 2-3 matches of mobile legends. As mentioned earlier, the heft of the phone is mainly due to its large 6 000 William hour battery pack. This makes it possible to power it's bigger than average display for extended periods and, as with their usual battery test, we subjected the device to stream of full HD video with 50 brightness and no audio. This resulted in 13 hours and 35 minutes of continuous playback. We've actually seen other phones with the same 6 000 William hour battery go beyond 13 hours of playback, but they do have smaller displays, so the Redmi 90s performance wasn't bad at all, plus it even comes with mini's power saving mode.

So with that activated, you should get more juice out of the phone. You may also choose to charge other devices via its reverse wired charging, something that might come in handy during certain situations and on top of those it supports 18 watt fast charging and comes with a 22.5 watt charger. The difference is noticeable when compared to its competitors, as the Redmi 9t fully tops up in just a little over 2 hours for comparison, the real Genaro 38 that comes a bit cheaper, clocked in at 3 hours and 30 minutes with the same battery specs and as always in our reviews. The modern creatures aim to find special features and devices that make them worth having a creature feature, if you will and for the Redmi 90, it would definitely have to be its capable cameras and reliable battery performance for an entry-level smartphone. The Redmi 90 comes with a decent set of optics and a useful lineup of features to achieve certain effects.

Meanwhile, its battery performance is reliable for long periods of usage and comes with features that could save you when you're. In a pinch, the Redmi 90 delivers adequate performance as an everyday phone with useful additions like a long battery life that charges quickly also gun are the days when entry level phones would only have basic camera tools, as this phone carries. Ai powered, quad cameras with the price tag of 6999 pesos, the Xiaomi Redmi 90, is worth your hard-earned cash if you're looking for an affordable but reliable smartphone, and that was our Xiaomi Redmi 90 review, as always visit our website and follow us on our social media pages for more news features and reviews.
