Redmi Note 9 Pro Max ( 6GB RAM, 128GB Storage)
Hey Guys it’s Pushpak from Pushpak Solutions and today we are going to unbox and take our first look at the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max. After failing to get it in the flash sales and after a long wait, I finally managed to purchase the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max from amazon. I just had the 6GB RAM and 128GB Storagevariant in Interstellar black colour.
Let me cut the seal, and lets take a look inside the box. First thing
that we get is this white envelope,which holds the SIM Tray removal pin, a
users guide for the phone, and a thin, dark, flexible TPU case to protect the
back of this phone from scratches and fingerprints. Then we have the phone
itself, in this Interstellar black colour. I will keep it aside for a few
moments, as we take a look at the 33 Watt fast charger that comes in the box,
and the USB type A to type C cable for charging and data transfer. Those are
all the things that we get in thebox. Let me keep these aside and get back to
the phone.
After removing all the stickers at the back,this is how the Note 9 Pro Max
looks. Other than the mention of the 64 megapixel camera, it looks exactly
like the Note 9 Pro. We get a thin film screen protector pre installed. It is
not of the best quality, but it is nice to have some protection on the screen
till I get a good quality tempered glass screen protector. It does get gorilla
glass 5 protection at the front and back, but the back catches a lot of
fingerprints, so I am going to use it with this case on most of the time. With
protection to the back, It adds a lot of grip to the phone and a lip at the
front to keep the display raised. Speaking of the display, it’s the exact same
6.67 inch IPS LCD with a resolution of 2400x1080 pixels as we has on the Note
9 Pro. Colours look nice, viewing angles are excellent,and it gets bright
enough, to be easily viewable in bright sunlight.
There is a dot notch at the top for the 32 megapixel front facing camera. It
is at the centre, and we never have a lot of information being displayed
there, it barely gets in your way. Above the display we get the speaker
grill,and overall bezels around the screen are pretty much the same as we see
on most other budget smartphones. Moving on to the back, we again get Gorilla
Glass 5 protection. And the only thing that we find here, other than the Redmi
branding is this squarish, quad camera module. Which is again protected by
Gorilla Glass 5. Main camera gets a 64 Megapixel sensor with F/1.9 aperture
and 26mm lens. Then there is an 8 megapixel camera, with 13mm ultra wide lens
and F/2.2 aperture. Followed by a 5 megapixel Macro camera with F/2.4
aperture, and a 2 megapixel depth sensor again with F/2.4 aperture.
Taking a look around the device, all the buttons and ports are exactly
the same as they were on the Note 9 Pro. At the bottom, we have every ones
favourite 3.5mm audio jack to the left. USB Type C port for charging and data
transfer. A microphone for phone calls and a speaker grill. On the right side,
we have a physical fingerprint sensor hidden under the power button. And
the volume up and down buttons above it. I like having a physical fingerprint
sensor because it is usually must faster and accurate than the in display ones
on budget smartphones.
At the top we have the IR blaster and a secondary noise cancelling
microphone. And on the left side, we have the SIM tray. This is a triple slot
tray, which means you can use 2 NANO SIM cards and a micro-SD card at the same
time. Now for the internals this phone packs in the same Snapdragon 720G
processor as the Note 9 Pro it is coupled with Adreno 618GPU, and you get 6 or
8GB of RAM with 64/128GB of internal storage.
All of this is powered by a massive 5020 mAh non-removable battery. I haven’t
had this phone phone for long enough to run its battery down, but when it
eventually runs out of juice, there is a 33watt fast charger included in the
box.
It comes with the latest version of MIUI 11 running on top of Android 10, and
while I am still not a fan of this UI overall software experience seems to be
pretty smooth so far. I hate the fact that there is just too much bloatware
installed on Redmi phones out of the box. And there are ads in the UI and spam
notifications are just getting out of hand. You will have to take a long time
to limit the ads and notifications that you see by going in to the settings of
each pre installed apps and uninstall the bloatware.
I’ve had this phone for less than a day so I can’t really say much about its
overall performance. Internals are same as the Note 9 Pro so if we go based on
that, it is going to be pretty smooth sailing. But I’ll have more to say about
this in my full review. What I can tell you now, is this phone looks and feels
very good in the hands. It is big and tall, so it might not be for everyone,
but that extra heft brings a bigger display, and a significant larger battery.
So I think most people who like big phones,will welcome this change and get
used to it in a few days. Now the Note 9 Pro was an amazing budget smartphone
but its camera are really not up to the mark. I am hoping things will be
different for this Note 9 Pro Max.
If you are looking to buy theRedmi Note 9 Pro Max, I will leave a link
to it in the description section, and you can get it in the
Amazon. Jai Hind, Take
care.
