Redmi Note 9 Pro Max
Redmi Note 9 Pro Max Review
In all, while the Redmi Note 9 Pro is a good phone, it shies away from being the best. Perhaps it is intentional and Redmi wants to sell more units of the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max. Further, its position in the reimagined Redmi Note lineup is a little confusing; while it is claimed to be a successor to the Redmi Note 8 Pro, it feels as if the Redmi Note 9 Pro is destined to be sandwiched between the successors to the Redmi Note 8 and the Redmi Note 8 Pro.
Owing to the changes in the market, Xiaomi has evolved the Redmi Note series over time. The company first launched a Pro variant starting with the launch of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 5 series in India in 2018; it has now introduced the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max alongside the regular Pro variant. Curiously, the standard Redmi Note 9 is missing, but it’s possible it may launch in the near future. Nonetheless, the Redmi Note 9 Pro and the Max are almost identical; they have the exact same design, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 720G mobile platform, hole-punch displays, chunky 5,020mAh batteries, and even the same color variants. The features that set the Pro apart from the Pro Max are the resolutions of the primary as well as the selfie cameras, much faster 33W charging on the Max, and lastly, an 8GB RAM option for that Max performance boost.
Comparison
It’ll be an understatement for me to say that I’m impressed with the ‘Aura Balance’ design philosophy implemented on the Redmi Note 9 Pro. I was a fan even of the Redmi Note 7 Pro (review) back in February last year and of the Redmi Note 5 Pro (review) the year before that. Redmi phones, for me, have consistently excelled in showing off its devices as eye candy, at least more than what the price tag demands. It’s not every day that you see phones under Rs 15,000 sporting Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection on both the front and back. We have received the Aurora Blue variant for review purposes and let me tell you that it is nothing short of breathtaking. I have recently become quite bored with the repetitive dual-tone gradient finishes or even prism-like reflections of polycarbonate backs. However, the extremely bright glass back of the Note 9 Pro throws different shapes at you whenever light is cast on it. The design cues are very similar to the Note 8 Pro but in the case of the Note 9 Pro, the glass back makes for much more aesthetically pleasing appeal. Redmi has also changed its positioning of the quad-camera system, opting for a Huawei Mate 20 Pro-like matrix implementation, although for the Note 9 Pro the array is positioned at the top centre of the phone and also acquires less surface area than the Huawei Mate 20 Pro (review). The camera bump, which is covered in Gorilla Glass 5, is also quite significant which tends to make phone wobble on a flat surface.High Feachers
To sum it all up, the Redmi Note 9 Pro and the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max are among the best performing devices in this price segment. You won’t experience any jitter or lag in daily usage. While gaming, the chipset currently supports the “Ultra” frame rate (40fps) on PUBG Mobile but lacks support for HDR gameplay. The culprit for this, however, is Qualcomm and not Xiaomi or Redmi. The performance can be overclocked with the PUB Gfx tool but it might lead to some instability and the settings reset every time you exit the game. On top of that, there’s a constant fear of being banned if Tencent determines it as cheating. COD Mobile, on the other hand, runs the “Max” frame rate (60fps) at High graphics settings and “Very High” frame rate at “Very High” graphics. In either of the games at the default max settings, there is no lag of any sort and the heat generation is also minimal. The Redmi Note 9 Pro and Redmi Note 9 Pro Max, ergo, are pretty good devices for mid-tier gaming.The Redmi Note 9 Pro is a charmer when it comes to looks and its serene Aura Balance Design is bound to attract eyes. In terms of specifications, it is a visible upgrade over the Redmi Note 8 and also the Note 8 Pro – except on the camera front. In that sense, the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max feels like the truer upgrade, even though the only upgraded attributes are the 5MP macro camera on the back and the 32MP selfie camera on the Max. If the camera is not your primary reason to upgrade your phone, the Redmi Note 9 Pro can be an excellent choice, but the sheer number of options in this price segment may compel you to think a bit more before finalizing your decision.
