Currently, Xiaomi already has the successor of the Redmi Note 8 Pro, namely the Redmi Note 9 Pro. Redmi Note 8 Pro itself is quite well known because Xiaomi in conclusion includes NFC in its device, one of which has a price of 3 million. This was also passed on to the Redmi Note 9 Pro.
Unlike the Redmi Note 8- series, this time the Redmi Note 9 series has switched the use of its processor. In the 8 series, the pro type uses Mediatek chips and the non pro type uses Snapdragon. In the 9 series, the pro type uses Snapdragon chips and non pro uses Mediatek.
The Redmi Note 9 Pro also continues what is the vision of Xiaomi: providing affordable features with big specifications. Xiaomi equips this smartphone with a camera that has a resolution of up to 64 megapixels. This feature is also the first in the Redmi class which uses a macro camera with a resolution of 5 MP. Finally, the battery used has also been increased to 5020 mAh.
Design
The first thing I liked about the Redmi Note 9 Pro when I first opened the sales box was a bangs-free design. Yep, many say that the notch design is pretty boring, even if it's a small one. Currently the design of the Redmi Note 9 Pro uses a punch hole or hole in the top center. This matter certainly brings refreshment to the smartphone design from Xiaomi.
The sides of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro feel like they are made of polycarbonate plastic. For the back, Xiaomi has covered it with Gorilla Glass 5 of some kind on the screen on the front. Therefore, the back is very friendly to fingerprints so it is easy to look dirty. During testing, I always wore the built-in rubber case so I didn't get choked up with dirty fingerprints.
The screen used on the Redmi Note 9 Pro is an IPS type with a resolution of 2400 × 1080. Even though you have used Gorilla Glass 5, Xiaomi has also shared a bonus scratch-resistant arrangement so that it makes it more comfortable than scratches. But always, I still recommend to pair tempered glass so that unwanted things are not intertwined.
When viewed on the back, you can only find 4 cameras and LED lights. Make the fingerprint sensor placed on the right side combined with the power button which is located at the base of the volume button. For the left, there is a SIM and microSD slot. At the base there is a 3.5mm audio port, USB-C, microphone, and speakers.
Xiaomi also doesn't remember pinning the infrared sensor at the top. This subject has been tested to help its users (especially me) when the remote for the television and the air conditioner is damaged or missing. At the top there is also a second microphone which is often used to record sound for videos.
Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro arrives using Android 10 wrapped with the MIUI 11 interface. Xiaomi has also promised that in August 2020, MIUI 12 will appear for the Redmi Note 9 Pro. Hopefully, this feature will get an Android 11 upgrade later.

Network
Redmi Note 9 Pro uses Snapdragon 720G which means it has used the X15 modem. This feature itself supports channels 1 (2100), 2 (1900), 3 (1800), 4 (1700), 5 (850), 7 (2600), 8 (900), 20 (800), 28 (700), 38 (2600), 40 (2300), and 41 (2500). The modem used supports LTE Cat 15 and has supported the 3 Carrier Aggregation feature.
Camera
Xiaomi still uses the same series for its cameras on the Redmi Note 9 Pro. The difference is that the macro camera used has a 5 MP resolution. The main camera itself still uses a 64 MP sensor which has the same specifications as Samsung's ISOCELL Bright GW1.
By using GW1, the main camera resolution of the Redmi Note 9 Pro is 16 MP to 64 MP, depending on the mode selected. I myself tested only using the 16 MP fashion because it has been tested many times to have far better results than 64 MP. The result? It's definitely better than the Redmi Note 8 Pro.
Battery Resistance Energy Testing
The Redmi Note 9 Pro comes with a battery with a capacity of 5020 mAh. Large batteries like this can often be used for consumption for more than one day. Of course, this is a certain attraction for those who want to buy this feature.
I tested the battery of the Redmi Note 9 Pro using MP4 video at 1080p resolution. The video is looped until the battery of this smartphone runs out. As a result, this feature can last up to 15 hours 44 minutes. This kind of result is commonplace for features with a 5020 mAh battery and a FHD + resolution on the screen.
