The Chinese electronics giant Xiaomi has launched the much-awaited Redmi 9 Power smartphone in the Indian market. True to its name, Xiaomi has packed a mammoth 6000mAh battery pack in its new offering.
Xiaomi known for launching two Redmi Note handsets in a year couldn’t make it in this 2020 year. The company has been still pushing the Redmi Note 9th series both in China and India. Probably, the COVID-19 pandemic has disrupted its plans to counter the growing popularity of Realme.
Joining the product line, Redmi 9 Power hits the headlines with a large 6000mAh battery that powers the device with 18W fast charging support and 2.5W reverse charging. For the unaware, the Chinese variant Redmi Note 9 4G makes it to India with a new name Redmi 9 Power.
Interestingly, the new Redmi 9 Power gets a lot of similarity from its latest POCO M3 handset. Powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 662 chipset, the Redmi 9 Power will certainly attract a lot of competition from Samsung Galaxy M11, Poco M3, Vivo Y20 and Oppo A53.
The Redmi 9 Power has got a TUV Rheinland certification that brings down the low light emission making it safer for eyes. Weighing under 200 grams is a huge plus sign when there are negative reviews surrounding POCO handsets for being bulky.
In terms of specification, the Redmi 9 Power sports a 6.53-inch full HD+ (1080x2340p) Dot Drop display with 19.5:9 aspect ratio and 395 ppi density. It has a max 400 nits of brightness and a Corning Gorilla 3 protection (and splash-proof) on the top. It is to be noted that Dot Drop is nothing but Xiaomi’s version of a waterdrop-style notch.
Powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 SoC, Adreno 610 GPU and 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM, the Redmi 9 Power has got 2 variants based on storage space 64GB and 128GB UFS 2.2 storage. The storage space can be further expandable up to 512GB using a microSD card.
On the optics front, the Redmi 9 Power sports a 48MP AI Quad Camera Setup. It includes 48MP primary camera, 8MP ultra-wide lens with 120˚ Field of View, 2MP macro and 2MP depth sensor. The Chinese variant doesn’t have the macro shooter. There’s an 8MP AI selfie camera and AI Face Unlock at the front. It also features Aura Power design which Xiaomi markets it as a new-age design.
Connectivity-wise, the Redmi 9 Power smartphone has a Dual 4G VoLTE, 2+1 dedicated SIM slot, VoWiFi, 3.5mm headphone jack, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, IR blaster, GPS and AGPS support. The box also packs a 22.5W charger.
Bearing a price tag of ₹10,999 for 4/64GB variant and ₹11,999 for 4/128GB variant, Redmi 9 Power comes in 4 colour options including Mighty Black, Blazing Blue, Electric Green, and Fiery Red. This dual-SIM smartphone runs MIUI 12 based on Android 10 OS.
