Xiaomi Redmi 9 Purple, 32 GB

The cheapest smartphone in Xiaomi's ninth series, the Redmi 9 offers great value for money. The dimensions of the Redmi 9 are completely the same as its older counterpart, the Redmi Note 9. The body is made of dense, high-quality plastic, which is scratch-resistant, and the phone has proved to be non-slip and very comfortable to hold.

The screen is 6.53 inches with Full HD+ resolution (2340x1080 pixels). The IPS screen supports 16 million colours and has a pixel density of 395 pixels per inch. The aspect ratio is 19.5:9.

The fingerprint scanner is located on the back, under the camera module. It works instantly and recognises the fingerprint with high accuracy. The device runs on Android 10 operating system with MIUI 11 skin. The processor - Mediatek Helio G80 with Mali-G52 MC2 graphics - performs its tasks quite quickly, but you should not expect maximum settings in games. Don't forget that the Redmi 9 has a Full HD+ screen, and this has an impact on performance. The best option for gaming is the automatic settings.

The Xiaomi Redmi 9 smartphone is available in two versions: 3GB of RAM, 32GB of permanent memory and the older version with 4/64GB. The bright colours of the body with a gradient - magenta, grey and green - allow you to choose the option you prefer.
