Redmi 9 Prime review: Xiaomi's budget smartphone justifies prime moniker
The Redmi 9 Prime is the top model in Chinese smartphone maker
Xiaomi’s Redmi 9 series. Priced Rs 9,999 onwards, the smartphone boast a screen
of the fullHD resolution, has a quad-camera set-up on the back, a big-capacity
battery with fast charging support, and P2i dust- and water-resistance coating.
These are some features that are hard to find in a smartphone priced under Rs
10,000. So, the Redmi 9 Prime looks like a go-to smartphone in the budget
segment. But how does it fare as a complete product? Let’s find out:
For
a budget smartphone, the Redmi 9 Prime has a good build and inspiring design.
Made of plastic, the smartphone has a textured back cover that provides good
in-hand grip. It feels comfortable to hold and operate, despite a form factor
that is wide and tall.
The
phone’s rear camera module does not protrude much from the frame. Therefore, it
does not wobble on flat surfaces, unless you do a pressure touch on the top side
of the screen. As for the screen, it is covered under Gorilla Glass 3 for
protection against scratches and smudges. It is not the best iteration of
Gorilla Glass you get on a budget smartphone, but this is better than not
having any protection at all. The phone also has a P2i coating for protection
against minor water spillage and dust.
