Xiaomi Redmi 9T

Xiaomi Redmi 9T price in Malaysia starts from RM539, positioning it as a budget option built around battery life rather than raw speed. The Snapdragon 662 chipset handles everyday tasks fine, and you get a choice of 4GB or 6GB RAM with storage up to 128GB on UFS 2.2, plus a dedicated microSD slot if you need more space. The 6.53-inch IPS LCD runs at 1080 x 2340 with 395 ppi, sharp enough for browsing and video at this price point.

The 6000mAh battery is the standout here, easily lasting a full day or more, and it charges at 18W. On the camera side, there's a 48MP main sensor backed by an 8MP ultrawide, plus 2MP macro and depth lenses for a quad setup. An 8MP front camera covers selfies and video calls.

Extras like an IR blaster, side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and a 3.5mm headphone jack with hi-res audio support round out the package. It runs Android 10 with MIUI 12 on top, and comes in four colours: Carbon Gray, Twilight Blue, Sunrise Orange, and Ocean Green.
