Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S

Xiaomi unveiled their latest addition to the Redmi family on 23rd March 2020, and was officially for sale in Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand & China on the 7th April 2020.

Here i have, is the latest Redmi Note 9S!!

So Xiaomi actually sent me their latest Redmi Note 9S for review, but the one i'm holding is not the standard Redmi Note 9S variant. What i have on hand, is the Redmi Note 9S Mi Fan Festival(MFF) Version.

According to Xiaomi, there are only 2020 limited edition Redmi Note 9S worldwide and it comes in grey colour with a unique 2020 MFF logo at the back. This marks the 10th anniversary of Xiaomi which was founded on 6th April 2010.

All variants of the Note 9S comes with 6.67-inch Full HD+ (2,040 x 1,080 pixels resolution) DotDisplay coupled with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G. The MFF version only comes with 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage, while the standard version has the 4GB RAM + 64GB storage and 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. Talking about functionality. something new for Xiaomi's phone is that the Redmi Note 9S comes with a side mounted fingerprint sensor that acts as your power button as well!

The Redmi Note 9S comes with a whopping 5020 mAh battery capacity supported by 18W fast charging. you're sure to last a day with playing games without charging it!

And as quad cameras are rather standardised thing now for phones, this Redmi Note 9S is of no exception as it comes with the 48MP quad camera setup, and while the Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G's wideangle lens is 117º, the Redmi Note 9S's wideangle is 119º, which helps alot when trying to capture a wider angle.

I actually love playing games on the Redmi Note 9S. the Snapdragon 720G actually runs on par with the Snapdragon 835 and loading games like Call of Duty and Mobile legends are buttery smooth! Big screen, fast gaming focused processor and big battery capacity. What's there to hate?

Without reading the spec sheet, I would not and did not expect that the Note 9S has a bigger screen compared to my Xiaomi Mi 9 Pro 5G. Honestly for the price tag of this phone, there's nothing to complain about, truly giving the buyer of the phone a bang for the buck experience.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S's pricelist is as of below, and you can get it on lazada!
Redmi Note 9S (4+64GB): $299
Redmi Note 9S (6+128GB): $349
