Reviews last updated: August 2026 · How we calculate this

What we like about Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro (6GB + 64GB)

  • Excellent value for money and an appealing, premium-feeling design with Gorilla Glass 5 on front and back.
  • Outstanding battery life, often lasting a full day or more with moderate to heavy use, and supports fast charging (30W/33W charger often included in the box).
  • Snappy and responsive performance for everyday tasks and moderate gaming, thanks to the capable Snapdragon 720G processor.
  • Good quality main camera that takes detailed, sharp photos in good lighting conditions and decent night shots.
  • Includes practical features like a 3.5mm headphone jack, dual SIM support, a dedicated microSD card slot, an IR blaster, and NFC (on the global version).
  • Sharp Full HD+ IPS display that is sufficiently bright for outdoor use and offers good viewing angles.
  • Fast and reliable side-mounted fingerprint sensor and quick face unlock.

What we don't like about Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro (6GB + 64GB)

  • Pre-installed apps (bloatware) and occasional ads in the MIUI user interface are annoying for many users.
  • The large size and weight (209g) make it difficult to operate with one hand and some users find it bulky.
  • Average camera performance in low-light, with detail loss and noise, and inconsistent results with the ultra-wide angle lens.
  • The display is an LCD panel with a standard 60Hz refresh rate, lacking the vibrancy of AMOLED screens or the smoothness of 90Hz/120Hz displays found on some competitors.
  • The single, bottom-firing mono speaker has flat sound quality with no bass and can be easily covered by hand during use.
  • The glossy back attracts fingerprints easily.
  • Some users report the phone can heat up with heavy gaming or use as a Wi-Fi hotspot.

Verdict

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro (6GB + 64GB) is a mid-range smartphone known for its balance of performance and features, powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G processor and a large 5,020mAh battery with 30W fast charging. It features a 6.67-inch FHD+ LCD screen protected by Gorilla Glass 5 and an impressive 64MP AI quad-camera system for versatile photography, including ultra-wide and macro shots. Some notable pros include excellent battery life that can last up to two days, solid performance for its price, and the inclusion of NFC for mobile payments. Potential downsides include the phone's considerable weight of 209g, a tendency to get warm during intensive tasks like gaming, and the fact that its LCD screen does not support a high refresh rate like some competitors.
