Redmi 9 Prime review By Debmalya Datta
Redmi 9 Prime marks the return of the Prime suffix for Xiaomi. The company reasons it has made a phone that offers a lot more in terms of specs for the sub-Rs 10,000 price tag and this justifies the Prime branding. But even as it loaded the phone with high spec components, did Xiaomi have to cut corners? Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime Specifications: 6.53-inch full HD+ display | MediaTek Helio G80 processor | 4GB RAM | 64GB/128GB internal storage | 13MP + 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens + 5MP macro lens + 2MP depth sensor quad-camera setup on the back | 8MP front camera | 5,020mAh battery | MIUI 11 based on Android 10 |The Redmi 9 Prime features a plastic build, which is what you get in this price bracket. And for some, it is a very good choice of material considering that the device can take a beating without you worrying it about having a cracked back glass. A textured finish has been added to the back to make it feel a bit premium in hand.

The camera module looks unique, with a triple camera array and a capacitive fingerprint sensor inside of one module and a separate module for the fourth camera sensor and the LED flash. All of these sensors are located inside of a circular ring, similar to the Poco X2. Apart from the textured back and the camera module, the phone feels pretty minimalist from the back.
Coming to the front, the phone does feature a dated notch, but the bezels are one of the smallest I have seen in this price bracket. The top edge features an IR blaster, which helps you control home appliances like the TV and the AC. The feature is not given much weight, but it comes in handy a lot more than you think. Two more design features I like are located on the bottom edge, the first one being a Type-C port and the other being the 3.5mm headphone jack. Lastly, the phone is offered in Matte Black, Mint Green, Space Blue and Sunrise Flare colour options. I had the Sunrise Flare variant for review, but I would have preferred any of the Matte Black, Mint Green or the Space Blue variants, instead.
The display is another key factor that would push people towards the Redmi 9 Prime, as it is among the handful of devices in this price range to feature a full HD+ display. And as an add-on, the device features Gorilla Glass 3 protection on top. The 6.53-inch display is large enough to watch any sort of content and is bright enough for most scenarios. However, sometimes under direct sunlight, the display backlight does not seem that bright, making you cover it with your hand to read. The touch response rate is quite fast allowing you to navigate the UI smoothly.
The device features a capacitive fingerprint sensor on the back, which is ample fast and accurate. I never during my time with the phone faced any issues with the fingerprint sensor. Face Unlock is also very fast and does not open up when your eyes are closed. However, the device uses 2D data to enable the feature. This means the device captures your photo during registration and compares it with your current face. This is a bit insecure compared to the other unlock options.
Redmi 9 Prime is a good phone if you are looking to perform light multi-tasking and performing daily tasks like calling, browsing the web, checking your social media handles, casual gaming and more. During our multi-tasking test, the device performed quite well showing no stutters while having 14 apps open at one time and having 27 tabs open inside of Chrome. Shifting between apps and the tabs at frequent intervals did not make the phone stutter much and most of the apps and tabs kept open during the test. Only a handful of apps and tabs were required to reload as the system had killed them.
