Redmi note 9 pro Max Design and Display review
Phone does comes with a large 6.67 inch display which makes it look very much bulky though it doesn’t feel much big or heavy in the pockets, the main reason behind it is the right weight distribution. This phone can easily be used by a single hand all thanks to feature which enables the user to open the notification panel by using scrolling down from the middle of the screen. Device gives a very premium feel and fits right in hands, round curved edges provides a perfect grip.
There is a camera bump at the back which is very much annoying, besides the the back panel is very much attracted to smudges, just use it for 5 minutes and you will get tons of fingerprint marks at the back. It is advisable to use a case to protect the edges of camera bump and to get rid of unwanted fingerprint marks at the back.
Redmi note 9 pro Max is protected by Corning gorilla glass 5 at the back and front which can save the device from low accidental drops. Phone does comes with P2i coating which makes it splash proof. Please do not try by pouring water on it as any water damages will not be covered.
If we talk about the front, the bezels are very thin and has a small chin at the bottom. We can say design is good and you will love it.
Now if we talk about display, the 6.67-inch FHD+ display is very much colorful and vibrant, though it comes with IPS LCD panel still the picture quality and color reproduction is something to look out for. No issues faced while using it under direct sun. Text looks very much sharp and clear.
Redmi Note 9 Pro Max Performance Review
Redmi Note 9 Pro boots on MIUI 11 which is based on Android 10, The UI is not clean as what we get on stock android, MIUI 11 does comes with bloatware and pre-installed Chinese Apps which can be uninstalled, Phone does comes with Ads which is very annoying. If you love simple UI the MIUI 11 may disappoint you, you need to dedicate sometime on it’s UI to understand it better.
Phone is powered by Octa-core processor which is paired along with Snapdragon 720G processor, It can easily perform any task thrown on it. We loved playing PUBG and Asphalt 9 on this device, gaming performance was quite good considering it’s specs and price range though it is not that much optimized for gaming. We felt little warmness while playing games or during heavy tasks.
Device does comes with face unlock which works perfectly well and the best part is that it does not unlocks when eyes are closed. There is also a side-mounted fingerprint scanner on this device, the response time is very quick.
The sound from the single Speaker at the bottom is great though it’s not a stereo speaker but the sound quality is quite loud.
