Xiaomi Redmi 9 | Unboxing & Full Tour

Unboxing and testing Xiaomi's new Redmi 9 smartphone, a budget-friendly mobile costing just £139 in the UK, or £150 for more memory and storage. With its quad lens camera, massive battery and Full HD screen, the Redmi 9 offers strong value - stay tuned for a full review.

You've got Android 10 with Xiaomi's own MiUI 11 on top, which can be a bit quirky but boasts some great bonus tools and features. The camera tech seems quite basic but you can hopefully capture some respectable looking photos and video - I'll be fully testing for my in-depth review.

The Redmi 9 should keep you going all day and possibly all weekend with its 5020mAh battery. Even if you're streaming video on the 6.53-inch screen, gaming on the likes of PubG and so on, this budget phone should handle it all. But again, I'll be using it as my full-time personal handset to really test it out. Especially to see how that Mediatek Helio G80 chipset copes with everyday life.

So what do you think of the Xiaomi Redmi 9 so far? Be great to hear your thoughts, and check out my round-ups of the best cheap smartphones of 2020 so far for more ideas.

This is a solid offering by the brand in terms of affordable gaming specific smartphones. Good choice with the battery and the mediatek processor.

I am using it as my daily driver for casual needs from last 6 months or so and overall it is a solid device in term of speed, battery timing, media playback, social apps, it is very good device for gaming as well, it support HD with High graphic on PUBg which was big surprise for me considering the price. But this is not for camera enthusiastics, very average cameras which is not a concern for me.

I like it when affordable and budget range smartphones have strong 4GB RAM. Good choice with the mediatek gaming processor as well.

Cheers! Awesome as always. 😁👍

I got the Redmi 9 4/64 for about £135 including tax, 1 day delivery and 2 year warranty. Great phone for the price. It does support 5GHz Wifi (not sure that's what you meant by "dual wifi"). Purple is very nice (more of a blue/indigo than purple). Included clear case is nice. Altogether, very happy so far.

Looks like a great smartphone for those on a budget, looking forward to your full review!

This is the most I can ever want from a phone. Quite honestly, I'll never get to see its memory full or use all of its functions. Why people buy phones more expensive than Redmi 9 is beyond my understanding.

Bought one when they first came out. Grey 4gb model was on offer for £100 so bought it with a red leather case - still using it today, so far has given me zero problems.

Great budget phone, very balanced specs for the price. Chris, are you gonna review the Mi 10 Lite 5G? It would be great to see how it compares to Nord.

[holoholo]

I'm using it right now in the same color and it's Lovely

[muhammadreihan]

thanks bro! now i want to watch the incriedible movies from your short review, but the phone's review is great, great job! greetings from Indonesia. my favorite part is when you said the mediatek helio g80 is comparable with the sd 665

[cubeofdoom]

Just got this phone today (64GB ROM 4GB RAM). And I love it already! And I can recommend it as well.
