BLG, 17 Jan 2021Nice phone for this price. Just poor support for EU variant. 2021 and still no update to MIUI12Update for MIUI 12 is out in most countries. You should wait just a few more days, and it'll come.

    Anonymous, 17 Jan 20214/64 cost like 5-10$ more there is no reason to not buy that configuration......I live in Pakistan. The 3/32 costed me 19,000 PKR (118$), while the 4/64 costs 27,000 PKR in official retail (168$). I had a budget of 20,000 PKR (124$). So I had to buy the 3/32, and I don't really regret buying it! It's plenty enough for me! I bought the Redmi Airdots with the remaining 1000 PKR.

    If you live outside of Pakistan, then yeah. 4/64 is your best bet!

        Anonymous, 17 Jan 2021im in sweden ,i have miuu12 since some weeks ago why u lie ?Maybe you should think twice before calling someone a liar. I don't think he is lying. Your phone is probably running the global version of Miui, that's why you have Miui 12. But he is talking about the european version of Miui, which still is on Miui 11.

                  Excellent phone but they are like old apple.

                  After software update phone is useless. It happened with Apple and I changed to xiaomi but now xiaomi use same methods. After update mobile data disconnects after some time.


                  Do not buy xiaomi!

                        SynX, 13 Jan 2021buy the frickin 4/64 maaaaann. as a 3/32 user, i can confidently say that 3/32 is good enough for media consumption, light gaming (pubg still rocks at 50 frames in smooth > ultra framerate) and regular usage. you have to disable MIUI optimization through developer options though. its smooth as heck after that!

                              So there's nothing like gyro in the phone

                                After a month of using Redmi 9, 4/64GB variant

                                Pros:
                                1) Great performance for the price: probably the fastest current-gen phone you can get for $120. Helio G80 is in the same performance tier as Snapdragon 710. PUBG plays smooth on Smooth/Ultra, COD on Medium, and Mobile Legends on High with HFR on.

                                2) Great battery life: ranges from 11 to 15 hours of Screen-on-Time (SOT) for me. Averages over 12 hours SOT.

                                3) Screen resolution: there are very few phones with 1080p screens at this price point.

                                4) Sound is pretty loud despite only having a single speaker. It's not totally devoid of bass either which is a surprise.

                                5) IR blaster for universal remote.

                                6) Wireless radio which works without plugging in a headphone, a rare feature in smartphones at any price point.


                                Cons:
                                1) Screen is rather dim in manual mode. I usually use it at ~50 to 85% brightness indoors, whereas with some other phones I can use at 30% or less brightness. Sun legibility is poor with manual mode, but OK with automatic brightness on.

                                2) Charging is kinda slow. 0-100% takes 2 hrs 53 min with the included 10W charger. With a QC3.0 charger it takes around 2 hr 5 min.

                                3) Long MIUI 12 animations that makes scrolling and switching apps feel laggy. This only takes a minute to fix though so it isn't a big deal to me.

                                Neutral: Cameras are not great but not terrible either. It does have Ultrawide and Macro sensors which many phones in this price segment lack. Significant improvement in quality using GCam.

                                Overall it's a great budget phone. 9.5/10
