The center of smartphone activity of the planet clearly hasa tendency to shift towards the Hindustan Peninsula. There was another noticeable announcement - and again only in India. New Redmi smartphones introduced: Note 9 Pro and Note 9 Pro Max. And where is just Redmi Note 9, you ask? But not yet ...

However, Redmi Note 9 Pro is quite inexpensivesmartphone, so as not to be too upset that right now the model is more modestly inaccessible. The device fully meets the classic brand approach - the most interesting features at the lowest price. The chipset is not the very, but from the latest, designed for an advanced middle class - gaming Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G. There is not a lot of RAM, but it is unlikely to be severely lacking - 4 GB in the younger version, 6 GB in the older one. The drive is 64 GB or 128 GB, respectively. The expansion option is traditionally there, and a separate slot is provided for the memory card.

Hefty screen - 6.67 ″, which makes you worry in advance about the dimensions of the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max model (spoiler - not worth it, they are the same). Resolution 1080 × 2400 pixels, which provides more than decent 395 ppi, is protected by Gorilla Glass 5. Since the matrix is ​​IPS, the fingerprint scanner is not built into the screen, it is located on its side.

The battery was set solid, 5020 mAh. It is not just straightforward, but accelerated charging is provided - 18 watts.

There are many cameras, although four are almostde facto standard. The main sensor is 48 megapixels, the second is 8 megapixels with wide-angle optics, the third is a depth sensor, the fourth is macro, 5 megapixels with an unexpectedly small minimum shooting distance is only 2 cm. The layout is funny.

Front camera 16 MP.
