We haven't seen the ‘Prime' branding on a Redmi smartphone in a really long time, but now Xiaomi has brought it back with the Redmi 9 Prime. Xiaomi explains that this model has been launched because its Redmi Note 9 series has become more expensive due to the GST hike and Rupee-Dollar fluctuations. The Redmi 9 Prime is priced below the Redmi Note 9 series and starts just below the Rs. 10,000 price point. Has Xiaomi gone overboard with cost-cutting, or does the Redmi 9 Prime offer you good value for money? I review the new Redmi 9 Prime to find out.

Mind Blowing Purchase

KT GOPICHAND (Aug 29, 2020) on Amazon

I have never seen this type of mobile under this price. Because so many specifications in addition with FHD+ IPS DISPLAY.Coming to gaming (#PUBG) awesome yaar playing HD with High graphics smoothly (@G80 powerful gaming Processor). Coming to battery it takes 1:30 min approximately from 30% to 100%.paking also super received two days earlier. U know one thing u can't find another mobile under 10k with this type of specifications (hoping in the future also).If my review helps you to clarify what type of smartphone you are looking for that makes me very happy.Overall :Best budget phone (@pisa vassol)Long lasting battery, Super for gaming, camera also good not bad, fast charging, fast unlocking fingerprint sensor, type-C. Overall I loved it, Thank you Amazon.

Best budget mobile

Vinuz (Mar 2, 2021) on Amazon

No idea y people go for samsung while redmi, realme, one plus mobiles give good value for money.. I had samsung A50 4gb/64gb version which used to hang ifvi installed more than 10 apps.. Here in this redmi 9 prime which is half costly than A50, i installed more than 20 apps.. Still functioning beautifully without any lag.. Reason can be traced to inferior exynos processor in samsung phones.. Xiaomi and other brands use Qualcomm or mediatek chipset.. A big thumbs up to these companies for their value for money product
