Specifications, review, and release date for the Xiaomi Redmi 9C
The Redmi 9C is the Redmi 9 series’ third smartphone. Although it lacks the features of the Redmi 9 version, it is worthy of consideration when purchasing a phone in the future. Xiaomi’s designers have attempted to provide a good device at a reasonable price. Here’s what the Redmi 9C has to offer.
Design
The smartphone comes in three different colors: gray, orange, and sky blue. The Redmi 9C sports a strong polycarbonate body with a pleasing to the touch texture on the back panel. Although the device’s dimensions are huge (164.9 X 77 X 9 mm), the rounded corners make it easy to grasp in the hand. It has a weight of 196 grams, which is slightly over normal. The Redmi 9C offers the appearance that you are holding a more costly gadget due to its high quality manufacturing. This is helped by the dual camera with flash, which is skillfully designed into a projecting square in the upper left corner. The fingerprint scanner on the Redmi 9C is positioned on the back panel.
Display
With a diagonal of 6.53 inches, this Xiaomi model offers a gorgeous and well-made frameless 2.5D IPS screen. It has a lovely image with natural hues. When the screen is touched, it responds fast and smoothly. Tempered glass protects the display on the Redmi 9C from bumps and scratches.
The screen has an HD+ resolution. The image has good detail because the pixels are not visible even at close range. The lack of brightness may be the sole drawback.
Processor
The MediaTek Helio G35 CPU in the Redmi 9C has built-in HyperEngine technology, which improves the phone’s performance while playing games. This is a new MediaTek chipset that was released in the summer of 2020. The chip ensures that the interface runs smoothly and supports fifth-generation Wi-Fi and Bluetooth. It has eight cores: four 2.3 GHz Cortex-A53 cores and four 1.8 GHz Cortex-A53 cores. The visuals are handled by the PowerVR GE8320 processor. The RAM is 2/3 GB, and the internal memory is 32/64 GB, with the latter expandable via a microSDXC memory card that has its own slot.
Android 10 is the operating system, with MIUI 12 as the user interface. The Redmi 9C accepts two SIM cards.
Cameras
The Redmi 9C boasts a triple main camera that includes a 13 MP wide-angle module with an aperture of f/2.2, a 2 MP macro camera with an aperture of f/2.4, and a 2 MP sensor with an aperture of f/2.4 for measuring the depth of the frame. LED flash and HDR are included on the back camera. It allows you to shoot video at 30 frames per second with a resolution of 1080 pixels. Because the block protrudes above the level of the housing, it is suggested that it be protected with a case. The quality of the images taken with the Redmi 9C’s back camera is satisfactory for the smartphone’s price range.
The photos are crisp, with natural color rendering and brightness, and they serve as a good counterpoint. When the image is zoomed in, some of the quality is gone, but the details remain distinct.
The Redmi 9C’s front camera is a single 5 MP wide-angle module with an aperture of f/2.2. In overall, the photographs are satisfactory. Colors are true, and details are visible even when zoomed in. The portrait mode isn’t really good. Use the one on the back camera instead.
Autonomous work
The Redmi 9C’s battery capacity is outstanding at 5000 mAh. Xiaomi has included support for rapid charging at a rate of 10 watts. When you charge your smartphone 1000 times, the battery starts to degrade. In comparison to its autonomous operation, you can charge the Redmi 9C every day for three years and not experience any discomfort.
However, regular recharging may not be practical, as this smartphone can run for up to 32 hours in chat mode, 21 hours in video mode, and 167 hours when listening to music nonstop. This is a fantastic result.
Conclusion
The Redmi 9C makes a good first impression. It has a pleasing appearance, is well-made, and is reasonably priced. It is made of high-quality materials and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The processor is of excellent quality. The screen brightness isn’t particularly good, but the battery capacity is noteworthy. There is also fast charging technology available.
You will be able to have a lot of fun with the Redmi 9C’s cameras. They provide images of reasonable quality. The photos are nice enough to post on social media or send to family members. The smartphone also includes NFC capabilities.
