Xiaomi has launched several smartphones in India in the Redmi 9 series last year. The latest smartphone of this series, Redmi 9 Power, has been launched in India only last month. It is a rebranded version of the Redmi Note 9 4G launched in China. By tweaking some features of the phone, the company has introduced it in the Indian market. This smartphone has been launched in the European market under the name of Redmi 9T. The same features have been seen in the budget smartphone M3 launched last year by the brand POCO, which was separated from Xiaomi.

You must have also understood that there must have been some reason behind launching so many smartphones with the same feature. The difference seen in Redmi 9 Power compared to other smartphones is its 6000mAh battery. Perhaps this is the reason why the company has added 'Power' with this smartphone. Meaning that the phone's battery performance is much better. I am going to tell you how I liked it compared to other smartphones.

Design
First we talk about the design of the phone. Plastic body material has been used in the back panel of this smartphone. The front panel has a coating of Corning Gorilla Glass 3. Waterdrop or dot notch features have been provided in the phone. The top of this smartphone has an IR Blaster and 3.5mm audio jack. At the same time, the speaker grills and USB Type C charging jack feature are given at the bottom. The right side of the phone has an integrated fingerprint sensor with a volume rocker on the top and a power button just below it. Triple card slot is given on the left side. It can be fitted with two 4G SIM cards and a microSD card.
Matte finishing is given in the back panel. The rectangular camera design has been given in the top left side of the phone. The phone has four cameras and an LED flashlight. On the left side of the phone, the branding of 'Redmi' has been given at the bottom. We have also seen similar branding in Realme's C Series new smartphones. This smartphone comes in four color options - Mighty Black, Blazing Blue, Electric Green and Fire Red. I have an electric green color option. It gives a very vibrant and premium feel. The phone weighs 198 grams. The phone will feel a bit heavy in the hand, but due to the large battery, you can expect it. Gripping the phone is also fine, it will not slip by hand.
Redmi 9 Power key display
Talking about the phone's display, it has a 6.53-inch FHD + IPS display panel. Thin bezels have been given around the phone. The resolution of this smartphone's display is 2340 x 080 pixels. It has a standard 60Hz IPS LCD display. The phone gets peak brightness of up to 400 nits. Protection of Corning Gorilla Glass 3 is available in the display. The reading mode of its display is TÜV Rheinland certified. In its display, we get features such as sunlight mode, night mode brightness and automatic brightness. According to you, you can adjust its brightness. If you keep automatic brightness, then it can reduce and increase its brightness according to the environment.
Talking about the viewing experience of the display, you may have some problems in day light. In other conditions, the brightness of its display is fine. The good thing that we found in it is that its display has a night mode. If you turn on the Night Mode feature, its brightness does not sting in your eyes when reading at night or while browsing video. Talking about over all display, you can stream or browse up to 1080p video in this budget smartphone. If you play a game on this smartphone, there is some lagging in its graphics. However, you cannot expect better graphical performance from this price point smartphone.
Redmi 9 Power performance
Now let's talk about the performance of this smartphone. The company is promoting it with the tagline 'Power'. In such a situation, we can expect strong performance in this budget phone. Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC has been used in the phone. Also, this smartphone has been given a 6,000mAh battery. This processor works on octa core processing technology. For graphics, it has a Qualcomm Adreno 610 GPU.
The phone comes in two storage options - 4GB RAM + 64GB and 4GB RAM + 128GB. UFS 2.1 storage support has been given in its 64GB variant. While 128GB variants have UFS 2.2 storage support. Up to 20GB of internal storage is used for storage apps and operating systems. You can use the subsequent storage. This phone works on MIUI 12 based on Android 10.
If you are not a game gimmick and do not use heavy apps, then you will not complain about the performance of this phone in this price range. The phone also works well in multi-tasking. The best thing in this we felt that after charging its battery once, you can fry it for about 1.5 days. If you do not keep data on, then it also lasts for two days. The phone has 22.5W fast charging support. The company has also provided a 22.5W charger with the box. It takes 1 to 1.5 hours to charge.
Redmi 9 Power camera
Talking about camera configuration of this smartphone, it comes with quad rear camera set-up. It has a 48MP primary sensor. Apart from this, 8MP ultra wide camera sensor, 2MP macro and 2MP depth sensor have been given. The phone has an 8MP camera for selfie. LED sensor is also provided in the back panel of the phone. Screen flash feature has been provided in the front of the phone. You will find many types of modes in the phone's camera. The phone will get night mode, panorama mode, prototype and pro modes. One more thing, if you want to use 48MP camera then you have to select 48MP mode. It does not use 48MP camera in standard mode.
At the same time, if you talk about the selfie camera of the phone, then you also get many modes in it. In this, you get Protrait and AI modes. In addition, it also supports HDR. The rear camera of Redmi 9 Power works well in day light. Looking at the price of the phone, we can say that we get a vibrant picture quality in it. The picture taken from the camera gives close-to-natural quality. At the same time, we have not liked it so much in Night Mode. Picture quality is not so good in night mode. The pixels of the picture taken in low light are distorted.
The selfie camera of this smartphone is nothing special. It could have been even better. HDR support has been provided in the 8MP camera, but the picture quality is not so sensitive. You will also know its difference in video calling. However, if we look at the overall camera at this price, its camera is not so bad. Its camera is fine for daily social media uploads.
Redmi 9 Power software and user interface
Like other Xiaomi devices, it comes with MIUI customized user interface. Redmi 9 Power has the latest MIUI 12 based on Android 10. This phone will get all the features of Android 10 such as System Wide Dark Mode, Adaptive Batter, Adaptive Display. The user interface of MIUI 12 will be less attractive than the interface of Realme C12 falling in this price range. However, some people like MIUI 12 quite a bit.
I personally did not find its interface so attractive. You will also find some pre-installed apps which you will not be able to delete. If you are already using Xiaomi's smartphone then you will get to see many upgrades in MIUI 12 as compared to the previous series. The most improvement will be seen in its icons. Xiaomi will have to make the user interface of its phone like other brands near to stock Android.
