The design

Did you ever just look at a phone and love it because of what you saw? Or have you ever found yourself compelled to ask someone what phone that was they were using? Such will be the case should you decide to go with Xiaomi Redmi 9 Power. It has got striking looks and comes in colors Mighty Black, Fiery Red, Electric Green, and Blazing Blue. May I also mention the one feature that makes it stand out even more in a water-repellent coating? That is right, this one is water repellant, but not to be mistaken for water-resistance.

Redmi 9 Power measures 162.3 x 77.3 x 9.6 mm in dimensions and weighs about 198 g like its close companion the Redmi 9 from 2020, June 10. Oh, I did not mention, this one is 2020, December 22 – almost safe to say a 2021 smartphone since it will debut in Kenya in 2021. It comes with two stereo speakers. Each speaker uses the respective channel of stereo sound, thus producing a stereo effect.

Cameras

The main camera lens of Redmi 9 Power is a whopping 48 MP, f/1.8, 26mm (wide), 1/2.0″, 0.8µm, PDAF lens. The phone also comes with an 8 MP, f/2.2 ultrawide lens, a 5 MP, f/2.4, (macro), and a 2 MP, f/2.4, depth sensor. This makes four cameras on the back. There is yet another lens on this phone and it is an 8 MP,  120˚ (ultrawide), 1/4.0″, 1.12µm wide front-facing camera. The outstanding feature of this selfie camera is that it shoots in HDR. Recording video with it is also 1080p@30fps like which is the same as what we get with the main camera lens.

The 8MP ultra-wide-angle selfie camera provides an almost 1.3 times wider view and increases the field of vision from 79° to 119°. Xiaomi says it is also capable of distortion correction. Phones with an 8MP selfie camera include Tecno Pouvoir 4, Huawei Y6p, Tecno Spark 5, and Tecno Camon 15 Air. By the way, according to the official product website, Redmi 9 Power will let you capture more in every frame with added depth, details, and field of view.

Redmi 9 Power’s platform

In Kenya, Xiaomi Redmi 9 Power is available in two variants concerning internal storage and memory. These variants are 64GB with 4GB RAM and 128GB internal storage with 4GB RAM. When you boot it up it will remind you that it is an Android 10 powered device then later on that it has MIUI 12. The phone is also powered by a Qualcomm SM6115 Snapdragon 662 (11 nm) chipset and an Octa-core (4×2.0 GHz Kryo 260 Gold & 4×1.8 GHz Kryo 260 Silver) CPU. By the way, there is a dedicated slot for the SD-card here in the event the internal storage limits you one way or the other. Finally, under the hood is an Adreno 610 GPU.

Battery

The Xiaomi Redmi 9 Power has a heft to it because of its large 6,000 mAh battery. This massive battery capacity should last up to two days of usage and sometimes even two until the next charge is required. Redmi 9 Power does support 18W fast charging to ensure it charges in the shortest time possible. Redmi 9 Power can also share power with other smartphones via a reverse charging 2.5W. 2.5W speed is quite slow but all the same, it is here.
