It has been 3 months since I bought the Redmi Note 9 5G. I bought this thousand-yuan phone not for my own use, but as a gift to my mother! In my opinion, the positioning of Redmi Note 9 5G is also the same. Under normal circumstances, if it is not given to parents, those of us born in the 1990s will not use this thousand-yuan phone as the main phone. Based on these 3 months of use, I would like to share some experiences with you!
What I bought this time was the Redmi Note 9 5G version. Since it was given to my parents, I was quite cautious at first. Should I buy the 4G version or the 5G version? After a morning of ideological struggle, I decided to buy the 5G version. Since it is given to mothers, the 5G function is basically unavailable. The difference between 4G and 5G is the price!
In fact, there are differences between the two in terms of appearance. In the author’s opinion, the appearance design of the Redmi Note 9 5G version is more in line with today’s smartphone market. The hole-punch screen in the upper left corner looks better. Much better than water drop screen. Therefore, what I bought this time is the Redmi Note 9 5G version in Qingshan color, 6+128GB version.
When you open the package, the "old same" accessories instantly come into view. Apart from the regular mobile phone, user manual, card pin, transparent protective case, charger and data cable, there are obviously no other accessories! Here I want to make some complaints. For these entry-level mid-range phones worth a thousand yuan, most of them are given to parents for use, so why not give away headphone cables? So what is the use of retaining a 3.5mm headphone jack on a mobile phone? I hope the manufacturers can improve this!
What will you do when you get your mobile phone for the first time? Anyway, I turned on the phone at the first opportunity. After spending a while on the boot settings, the Redmi Note 9 5G was truly displayed in front of my eyes.
Perhaps because of my habit of using various flagship brands, I am really not used to seeing the big black borders around the Redmi Note 9 5G, but there is nothing I can do about it! After all, the price is there. Looking at the products in this price range on the market, most designs are like this in order to control costs.
The front of the Redmi Note 9 5G uses a 6.53-inch LCD screen, which is covered with Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The screen has also passed the Rheinland low blue light certification and also supports sunlight screens. and night light mode. Overall, the display effect is relatively delicate and relatively friendly to the elderly.
In addition, because it has an LCD screen, the Redmi Note 9 can only be unlocked using the side fingerprint. It is a two-in-one design of the power button and fingerprint. The unlocking speed is relatively fast, almost invisible to the naked eye. Yes, you can see the transition animation.
Turning to the back may not be too friendly to "face-blind people"! The circular camera is arranged, and below is the "Redmi" brand LOGO. To put it simply, the appearance design of the Redmi Note 9 5G version is completely designed in accordance with the mainstream style of last year's Redmi products. If you don't look carefully, it is easy to see These products are confusing. Due to the limited material of the back cover, even with the blessing of AG technology, the feel is not as delicate as that of the Redmi Note 9Pro.
At the core performance level, Redmi Note 9 5G is equipped with the Dimensity 800U chip, which has a 7nm process technology and is a mid-range 5G chip owned by MediaTek. I won’t introduce too much about this chip. I believe everyone has seen the strength of this chip in the smartphone market. Its benchmark score on AnTuTu can reach 330,000 points in actual testing. Even if you play some of the market mainstream "Honor of Kings" and "Peace Elite" on a daily basis, as long as you don't dislike the small screen, it can run without stress.
In terms of storage combination, Redmi Note 9 5G*** has three versions to choose from, namely: 6+128GB, 8+128GB and 8+256GB. In terms of selection, the author thinks 6 +128GB is completely enough. 128GB is enough for daily WeChat chatting, watching TV series, and browsing Douyin. In these three months of actual experience, this is exactly the case, and the performance given by the Dimensity 800U chip will not cause lags.
Nowadays, Douyin short videos are popular. Under normal circumstances, our parents will share videos of exquisite places, food, etc. on Douyin. The Redmi Note 9 5G, which has a 48-megapixel main camera, is fully capable of daily shooting. At the same time, the Redmi Note 9 5G also has a 118-degree ultra-wide-angle lens and a 13-megapixel selfie lens. For the AI ??beauty we are familiar with, Regular functions such as selfies are supported.
The following are real-shot samples of the Redmi Note 9 5G, without any post-processing.
In general, the 48-megapixel main camera is the standard camera for most phones with thousands of yuan on the market. It is not as attractive as the previous two years, but after experience with many products The actual shooting performance of the Redmi Note 9 5G is quite satisfactory in this price range, and it has no problem at all in meeting daily needs.
Perhaps we all know that Redmi’s products have an ancestral function, which is a large-capacity battery. The Redmi Note 9 5G, a thousand-yuan phone, is no exception. The Redmi Note 9 5G has a built-in 5000mAh large-capacity battery that supports up to 18W fast charging. But what’s more interesting is that the charger it comes with supports up to 18W fast charging. 22.5W charging speed.
The benefits of a large-capacity battery are obvious. Take the Redmi Note 9 5G as an example. Under normal circumstances, there is no problem charging it every two days. If you only make calls, you can Wait for about a week.
In terms of charging, Redmi Note 9 5G is not equipped with this large-capacity battery! According to actual measurement data, starting from 3% standby power, it can be charged to 8% in 5 minutes, 23% in 20 minutes, 64% in 60 minutes, and it takes 132 minutes to fully charge.
It is not difficult to see from the charging line chart above that when the charge reaches 90%, there is an obvious slow change, and overall it is relatively stable. But at this charging speed, if you don’t feel comfortable charging while sleeping at night, it will easily delay things. However, considering the price factor, there is nothing we can do about it. We just need to pay a little attention to it in daily use.
At the same time, the built-in 5000mAh large-capacity battery also makes the Redmi Note 9 5G a rare and thin 5G model. There is nothing you can do about the overall thickness of 9mm and the weight of 215g. However, when you hold the Redmi Note 9 5G in your hand, it does not give you the feeling that it is close to a "half-pound phone". The main reason is that the left and right sides of the back cover have a certain degree of curvature, and the middle frame design is relatively rounded. The feel when held with one hand is also very good.
The above also has some functions that the author has not mentioned, such as stereo dual speakers. This function may be dispensable for us, but it may be different if it is placed next to our parents. Stereo sound effects The design is definitely able to be heard clearly by parents.
The two ancestral functions of Redmi, the 3.5 headphone jack and infrared remote control, have also been retained. The only regret may be that it does not support NFC, so the special function of the access card cannot be experienced!
From an overall perspective, the Redmi Note 9 5G is not a thousand-yuan phone with many highlights. Although the various configurations are not eye-catching, they are not bad. In general, the Redmi Note 9 5G is a relatively balanced model among the thousand-yuan phones, especially if it is given to parents, it is really perfect!
