If you can't accept the truth that snapdragon handles ram way better than mediatek, then I have bad news for you.

    Even though the processor is good and ram, it still lags, which I have expected my upgrade to be smooth, but it turns out what I not expected, such a disappointment.

        Anonymous, 23 Mar 2021Redmi note 9 or poco m3?None of those. Tbh Redmi Note 9's Helio G85 is still unoptimized even after a year. It's better to go for the Redmi Note 10 or the Redmi Note 9T.

                Any IT nerd who is into computer for decades will know the price of pay more for less & paying less is good enough mean.
                I just bought a Redmi note 9 4gb ram/128gb version from official xiaomi online store paying less than USD122. I bought not because I really need it but I couldn't resist for such price, I can do so many stuff & I make full good use of it as my secondary 4G mobile hotspot; mainly. Then I use this redmi note 9 just to read a lot of stuff while I charging my main phone for hardcore gaming use.
                Honestly, what can you get to do all that stuff with USD121?
                For anyone who have multiple pokemon go account to manage, this is an excellent buy coz it run smooth & the battery is incredible.
                So far, nothing bother me much for it performance. Snappy & no heat issue. I have another older 636 snapdragon redmi that really sluggish, occasional heating issue & drain battery very fast. 5020mah is a lot of juice on a 12nm chipset.

I work 8 hours a day, 5 days a week and goodness gracias, the phone lags from time to time! I owned an xperia XA years ago where it also had mediatek chipset. Tbh, that phone was great although the durability was never great. Idk if its mediatek's problem or Xiaomi's.

Apps eat data, electricity, and report to advertisers. Find them and turn them off. Delete the keyboard and install a less greedy keyboard. There are apps in the phone that do nothing, they are just inside and eating data and electricity.

                        Was good for the first day or two. Now the phone lags, apps freeze and the phone is unresponsive. The worst thing however is the keyboard. It auto fills words that aren't even close to what you're trying to say, the positioning and layout is terrible, and if typing quickly you might find yourself sending a bunch of sloth stickers for some reason. Stay away from this phone unless you want to break it in rage

                              Redmi Note 9 Helio is purely garbage. This is the FACT. My Redmi Note 5AI done better then this.

                              Blame Redmi/Xiaomi for not utilize or optimize this phone. And they wont, because they have a lot and more phone to release than caring about this phone.

                              Helio is actually could be good and best budget chipset, if any phone is optimized of how to use it. Like Sony done on their midrange and flagship phone before.

                              If anyone ever want to try buy this, please, DON'T! Get Redmi Note 9S or 9Pro instead. Of course, they have their own issue too, but not too much like this garbage.

                              Or better get Poco X3 Pro or Note 10/10 Pro instead.

                                I've been using this phone for 7 months now and I can totally tell what are the pro's and cons of this mobile unit, Xiaomi Redmi Note 9.Overall, it is a very good phone. 4/128gb is not bad. I had over 5k+ photos and 200+videos plus other apps, games, movies and I still have more storage left. The rear camera works well and I love it especially with the bokeh effect. Using the rear camera for videos is not bad as well. During nighttime, it takes good shots too but you need to stay still to get a good photo. The performance for gaming works good. Smooth and not laggy. It works fine specially for mobile legends. Battery? the best. I can use it for 1day and a half. For gaming, this would last for atleast a day depending on how heavy you use your phone.

                                The things that I don't like on this phone is the front camera. It is blurry and the background has a little noise. I love selfies, and if you are a selfie person? you might not like this unit. It freezes sometimes and if you have so many apps, the refresh rate will reduce and the phone will become laggy. It heats up sometimes especially when you are playing games for llong period of time.
