A quick note, the sensor is actually the Sony IMX 582, not the IMX 586. We've updated this on our website.

Mi launcer on the play store isn't developed by xiaomi, it's just a third-party app, poco launcher is the launcher made by xiaomi .

Mi 9T just being my daily driver and my gaming phone.
I'm so satisfied.

How did you judge 3.5 mm headphone jack is a poor quality one? Any test results or any final conclusions with trials? Gsmarena or notebookcheck are both doing detailed tests and both reviewed this phone, they both told sound is quite good from 3.5 mm jack. Please when you make reviews don't do them with only some fancy words and cool shots of the phone from different angles

Also main camera is IMX582, not 586.
Poor review.

a new smartphone comes out..

smartphone reviewers: "for me this is the best/this is my favorite smartphone of all time.."

I have been using a redmi k20/mi9t for a month now, coming from an pixel xl which i used for 2 years. I would say the snapdragon 730 is underrated cuz everything feels butter smooth, the cameras are way better then i expected and also gaming doesn't seem bad either the battery life is just breath taking best battery life i ever had, and i don't miss stock Android even a little bit. Miui is not perfect but with a few tweaks here and there can totally change the experience. No regrets for me. IN LOVE WITH MY K20.

[ismailsajidvellorean]

Very interesting.
I think mi9t is a value for money device. With good features and specifications.
Very very good xiaomi.

I'm using the K20 pro and it's smooth af.

Why you in a dark background though. It feels like you're telling a ghost story. 😂

just bought one in 2021, for €200. can't wait to get it.

Amazon's Phone-Zone store sold the blue one for $295 for a brief time. I got it and couldn't be happier, it's a crazy price

[ukbach]

I think its not the 586 Sensor but the 582 but i mean still 48 mp

Just picked up the 128gbs version from the Xiaomi Retail Store on AliExpress for £250. Nothing is going to beat the Mi 9T at that price.

Headphone jack has a high quality certification and the speaker is extremely loud, maybe go max volume next time

[yongjiasiaw]

I actually think audio is a strength .. the quality of the speaker is amazing

when youtube notification pops up while you're watching the video itself

[rickbaur]
