Review of Redmi Note 9 Pro Max

Review of Redmi Note 9 Pro Max

  Hi Friend’s,

          Welcome to Tech Beyond. I'm back again with the note 9 pro max review this time so is this worth purchasing or are there better alternatives out there that's what we're going to find out in today.

  

         Let's now get started when it comes to the note 9 pro max we have a lot of similarities I mean they're essentially the same phone but with different optics with that being said there are a couple of important changes so let's start with these changes.

•  Camera:

         One is that we now have a 64 megapixel primary camera with an F 1.8 mm lens instead of the 14 megapixel F 1.7 and lens combo this is the Samsung ISO self-pride gw1 sensor and as expected it takes some really sharp looking shots the dynamic range in here is pretty good and the pictures come out looking very detailed we have mostly natural colors at times a bit cool but if you want punchy results we have Pro color so we can turn off the saturation using that.

• Low Light:

       
  Going on to low-light shots we have a dedicated night mode in here and the 64 mega pixel samsung gw1 does quite well we have a decent amount of detail and a lot of the color saturation is retained so we all end up with washed out images is common in this segment something interesting that we noticed is that the note 9 Pro max it decreases the shutter speed while keeping the ISO levels down which means we get more light and less noise and a shots comparing it to the night more shots taken by the note 9 Pro it's pretty clear that the note 9 Pro Max is doing a much better job I mean it is called the max. GW and sensor is the clear winner when it comes to low light.

   

          The primary camera is also responsible for rear portraits so let's take a look at how they turned out not a lot of difference between the two but the subject does have more detail longer not been Pro max a shot the edge detection is on par for the most part after all they are using the same algorithms as well as the same two megapixel depth sensor.

• Video:

        Both phones are capable of shooting 4k 30fps video and honestly I felt like they were virtually indistinguishable year great punchy looking colors with nice detail levels and even the dynamic range here is on point. We also have an option here to shoot at 1080p with the EIS there is something footage is a lot more stable with way less noticeable bumps and shakes oh and there's an option to shoot Full HD video at 60fps an HD slo-mo at 960 FPS.

• Selfie:

         We have an upgraded selfie shooter this 32 megapixel camera takes some good looking shots the selfies are not sharp. Background it does have a tendency to get overexposed as fair a selfie port rates go the edge detection works out quite well now comparing it to the selfie camera on the redmi note 9 pro despite the front camera having double the megapixels the detailed levels stand it up feeling pretty similar across the board other than the primary 64 we have an 8MP ultra wide, 5MP macro and a 2MP depth sensor making up the quad sensor array to the back of the note 9 pro max.

• Specification:

        Like the rest of the phone these three cameras and the same ones that we've seen before on the redmi note 9 pro now if some of these highlights have kind of slipped your mind here's a quick little spec refresher we have a premium glass sandwich design in here sporting a 6.6” screen to the front and weighing in at just under 210 grams.

• Design:

         The note 9 pro max it's not a phone that many would use single-handed the rounded glass back may it easy to hold but thanks to the super reflective and glossy finish this one feels slippery in hand and ends up collecting a lot of finger prints and smudges so that's why I kept it in a protective case all the time another big one is the camera bump to the back if we keep the note 9 Pro max on a flat table and then tried typing on it the phone just rocks around right to left thanks to how protruded that camera bump is with the case on the bumpers slightly recessed giving it a bit of added protection talking about protection we have Corning's Gorilla Glass 5 to both the front and back that's where we have this full HD plus IPS panel with a punch hole to the center the note and pro series is all about symmetry in the design or as Redmi is calling it this is their aura balance design.

• Processor:

        The display itself is great for an IPS panel the contrast levels are awesome and it can get quite bright - powering all of this is the Snapdragon 720 G benchmark scores aside in real life the 720 G held up really well we didn't face any lag or stutter while going about our day and heck it even handled demanding games pretty well.

• Game Performance:

         We played PUBG and it supported up to the high frame rate preset at HD graphical settings dialing it down to smooth though give us the ultra frame rate option. It also gives nice performance on other heavy games.

• Storage:

          The memory set of things we have 6 or 8 GB RAM options so one more subtle improvement in here is that the base variant now comes with 6 instead of 4 GB as far as internal storage goes we have 64 or 128 GB of ufs 2.1 storage with the option for added expandability via a dedicated microsd card slot of course one of the highlights of the note 9 pro max is the battery life it's the same 5020 mAh battery as the regular note 9 pro but it does ship with a 33 watt fast charger so we can get it to 0 to 50  in 30 min.

• Overview and UI:

So we have rapid fast charging command with me UI 11 and 8 nanometer chip the result is excellent battery life this phone easily lasted a full day on a single charge sometimes it even stretched well in to day 2- now UI 11 is something that people have strong opinions about and i have to say that there are a few pre-installed apps here and the a Xiaomi app store as well as a few other system apps like music keep sending annoying push notifications but they can be turned off and as far as features and usability go Mi UI 11 based on Android it handles everything just fine.

• Speakers:

          Now before we talk about the price let's quickly wrap up the some reason here one thing I love about the note 9 pro max the vibration motor the feedback is miles better than previous redmi devices. The speakers are ok they can get loud but I always should add a bit more bass and life to it the sound output through the 3.5 millimeter headphone jack has much better though we also have a splash proof P2i coating that should give some protection against the elements.

• Security and Price:

          As far as biometric security goes we have face unlock as well as the side mounted capacitive fingerprint scanner both are pretty fast now generally I don't like side mounted fingerprint scanners. I am not a fan of the volume buttons on top of the fingerprint scanner do there a better reach for me and I had to do some finger gymnastics to get there but hey let me is still one of the last plants to retain and they are plaster up top and personally I find that quite useful overall though my experience with the redmi note 9 pro max was largely positive and at 16499. I would have been happily recommending it.

• My Opinion:

          Two other phones the poco x2 comes in at 1000 rupees more but with the primary Sony sensor better hardware and 120 Hertz clean so gamers might want to actually get that.

Photography enthusiasts might prefer spending thousand five hundred bucks more for that telephoto camera video features not to mention the 90Hz screen that the realme 6 Pro has to offer.
    

        Now does that mean the note 9 Pro max at 16,500 is a bad buy not really but unless you really like that or a balanced design or better low light imaging faster charging if these are must-haves for you then you could consider it but otherwise there are better value for many options out there so that's just my two cents on the note 9 products.

       So that’s in today’s review, I hope you enjoyed it tell me in the comment box. Follow us on social media for latest updates.
