Redmi Note 9 Series: First Impression
We have already seen the Realme 6 series smartphone and we have also reviewed both the phones, that Realme 6 Pro is a little bit overpriced. Now talking about, Redmi Note 9 series,
Redmi Note 9 Pro
Redmi Note 9 Pro is priced at Rs 12,999 and you’re getting Snapdragon 720G which is new soc from Qualcomm for Mid-budget segment, I think what you’re getting is good but its not huge upgrade form Redmi Note 8 Pro but still, it’s not that bad.
The phone has all-new Samsung Isocell GM2 which is a successor of Samsung Isocell GM1 and yes, this will give you better image quality but more I will tell in Review, so wait for that.
Realme also has Realme 6 which is priced at Rs 13,999 but this phone has 30W fast charging support, 64MP Quad camera setup, MediaTek G90T, so both Redmi Note 9 Pro and RealMe 6 has its own Pros and Cons. It depends on what you want on Your next smartphone.
Redmi Note 9 Pro Max
Now, this one is surprised and because this phone Redmi didn’t launch the Redmi Note 9. Redmi Note 9 Pro Max is priced at 14,999 and you’re getting 6GB Ram. I think what you’re getting at 15k is the great deal and instant of Realme 6 Pro, you can go with this phone.
Realme 6 Pro is priced at Rs 16,999, so still, if you want to spend Rs 2,000 more then go with it. Keep in mind, Redmi Note Pro Max does note have a 90Hz screen refresh rate and dual selfie camera setup.
Now, If you want a higher refresh rate display & dual selfie camera then I think RealMe 6 Pro could be the phone you’re looking for. More, I will share on Review, so stay tuned for that too.
