The Redmi Note 9 4G comes with the same specifications as the POCO M3 that was recently launched for the global market recently. The phone switches to a Snapdragon 662 chipset, but gets to keep the 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage that is featured in the 5G models. RAM starts at 4GB, but this is the cheapest phone of the three of the Note 9 series launched today in China.
And yet it has the biggest battery, 6,000mAh, while the weight stays just under 200g. The phone comes bundled with an 18W fast charger. With moderate use, the battery should last you a bit over two and a half days. Xiaomi is estimating that the battery is good for 1,000 charge cycles or 4 years of use.
The 6.53-inch LCD is similar to that of the 5G model. It has a 1080p+ resolution and a 120Hz touch sampling rate (refresh rate is 60Hz). However, this panel is protected by the older Gorilla Glass 3.
The triple camera on the rear is similar as well, starting with the 48MP main module (1.6µm pixels after binning). There’s also an 8MP ultrawide (120°) camera and a 2MP depth sensor. Note that video recording is capped at 1080p/30 fps. Also, the 8MP selfie camera is inside a notch instead of a punch hole in the display.
