Let's start with the first factor we go to see when we pick up a smartphone, that is the display. The Redmi Note 9 arrives with a 6,67-inch diagonal panel, aspect ratio of 20: 9 and with Full HD resolution (2.340 × 1.080 pixels). Inside the display we find a hole for the camera in the central part, while the whole is covered in Corning Gorilla Glass 5 to protect from scratches and bumps.
We also have the Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on the back where there are a total of 4 cameras. These include a 48MP main camera, in particular we have the Samsung ISOCELL Bright GM2 sensor with a focal aperture of f 1.79, 1.6 µm large pixels and dual pixel autofocus technology. The 48MP camera will then be paired with an 8MP secondary sensor with an ultra wide angle lens (119 degree field of view), a 5MP sensor for macro photos from 2 to 10 centimeters away, and a 2MP sensor to capture the Shallow depth of field and create photos with bokeh effect. As for the front camera, here we find a 16MP sensor.
The smartphone is powered by the new Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G. A mid-range high-performance processor with a maximum frequency of 2.3Ghz. As the "G" in the name suggests, this CPU is dedicated to gaming with a performance increase of 40% for CPU and 14% for GPU compared to the previous generation. The processor is accompanied by a minimum of 4GB and a maximum of 6GB of LPDDR4X type RAM, while the internal memory that reaches up to 128GB is of the UFS 2.1 type. This hardware configuration allows the smartphone to reach about 280 thousand points on the AnTuTu benchmark app, effectively surpassing other chips such as Snapdragon 730, Snapdragon 675 and Mediatek Helio P95.
To power the Redmi Note 9S then thinks of a huge 5020mAh battery for more than two days of autonomy without problems. Once downloaded, you can also recharge it very quickly thanks to the fast fast charge with maximum power of 18W.
Among the other features we find a fingerprint sensor on the right side, new speakers that produce audio with an increase in volume of about 30% and bass improved by 80%. We also have a 3.5mm audio jack, USB Type-C port for charging and data transmission, and an infrared ray emitter.
