Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T product description
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T is a popular and affordable 5G phone with a modern large screen and a 48MP camera system. But when it comes to multimedia, this Redmi Note 9T doesn't disappoint either. To learn more about why not you have to read this below.
Modern 3D Curved Design
This Redmi Note 9T is quite an attractive phone thanks to its 6.53-inch DotDisplay. No old-fashioned notch here but a modern punch-hole in the corner for the selfie camera. The image is sharp thanks to the high FHD + resolution and protection is guaranteed by the application of sturdy and scratch-resistant Gorilla Glass 5. Fingerprint recognition is found on the side in the power button. The curved back is textured to prevent it from slipping out of your hands. An added benefit is that fingerprints will hardly be able to get a grip on it.

48MP camera but nothing special
The three cameras on the back are in a round recess. In it we find the 48MP main camera. Because it does Pixel Binning, you shoot pictures in 12MP. 4 pixels are merged into 1 super-pixel and that provides better exposed photos. This is especially useful during twilight. There is also a 2MP depth camera for portraits and a 2MP macro camera for extreme close-ups. The latter does not really offer an added value due to its limited resolution. We would have preferred a separate ultra-wide-angle camera. All in all, the camera is nice but nothing special. There is a 13MP selfie camera on the front, which is above average.

According to Xiaomi, the battery is already one third full after 18 minutes. The housing has a nano coating, which makes it splashproof. It is not really waterproof.
