Xiaomi Redmi 9

RM 379.00

Price last checked: 15 Jun 2022. Confirm current price before buying.

Battery life is the headline here. A 5020 mAh cell with 18W fast charging should get most users through a full day and then some, and it's paired with a Helio G80 chipset that's built more for casual gaming than heavy multitasking. The 6.53-inch IPS LCD panel runs a 1080 x 2340 resolution, sharp enough for everyday browsing and video at this price point.

On the back you get four cameras: a 13MP main lens, 8MP ultrawide, plus 5MP macro and 2MP depth sensors for portrait shots. It's not a camera phone by any stretch, but it covers the basics. Storage comes in 3GB/32GB or 4GB/64GB configurations, both expandable via microSD if you need more room.

Xiaomi Redmi 9 price in Malaysia starts from RM379, which puts it firmly in entry-level territory. Extras like NFC, an infrared blaster and a 3.5mm headphone jack are nice inclusions you don't always see at this budget.
