REDMI 9A

REDMI 9A Specifications

In June 2020, Xaomi launched the Redmi 9A.  9A is powered by a 2GHz octa-core MediaTek Helio G25 processor. Along with it, it comes with 2GB of RAM. The  9A runs Android 10 and is powered by a 5000mAh non-removable battery. The phone sports a 6.53-inch touchscreen display with a resolution of 720×1600 pixels and an aspect ratio of 20:9.

The 9A runs MIUI 12 is based on Android 10 and sports 32GB of inbuilt storage that can be expanded via a microSD card (up to 512GB) with a dedicated slot. Thus it is a very minimalistic and utilitarian product in the current day and age and the buyers should be vary of that. The Redmi 9A measures 164.90 x 77.07 x 9.00mm (height x width x thickness) and weighs 194.00 grams. It was introduced in three colours Midnight Grey, Peacock Green, and Twilight Blue colours.

Cameras

In the front of cameras, the Redmi 9A on the rear packs a 13-megapixel camera with an f/2.2 aperture. It sports a 5-megapixel camera on the front for selfies with an f/2.2 aperture. So overall it features a good camera setup.

Performance

The Redmi 9A works on a MediaTek Helio G25 octa-core processor with a 2GB RAM and 32GB eMMC 5.1 Storage. This is a TSMC 12nm FinFET Octa-Core processor with Cortex A53 cores clocked up to 2.0GHz. Storage capacity is expandable via a micro SD card which you will need since base storage is only 32GB.

Without a doubt, the Redmi 9A is a downgrade from its predecessors especially performance-wise. Using the phone for calls, text, email, browsing, and YouTube I did not notice any significant lag but apps do take a bit longer to open. This is quite surprising as they are the most basic of apps in terms of processor stress. Graphics-intensive titles like PUBG or Call of Duty are not going to work on this phone. So it is a straightforward ‘no’ for all the gamers in the house.
