Reviews for the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T 5G

79.7% Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T 5G smartphone review: 5G for the small budget | Notebookcheck
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T costs 230 Euros (~$279) in the smallest version and is already sold for less than 200 Euros (~$243) in some places. The special feature: The Redmi Note 9T is one of the cheapest, if not the cheapest 5G smartphone. Despite the low price, the remaining features also appear to be good. This is reason enough to take a closer look at Xiaomi's 5G smartphone.
100% Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T review: A 5G bargain
Source: It Pro English
The Redmi Note 9T is a lot better than its bargain price suggests. With a turn of pace that matches handsets that cost twice the price, it’s a great way to access the growing 5G network without spending excess cash. It’s not flawless: the screen is nothing special and we’re miffed about the removal of the ultrawide camera, but you won’t find anything better at this price.

Redmi Note 9T Review – A Budget 5G Phone, is it Powerful Enough?
Source: Manila Shaker English
Overall, it’s hard to recommend this phone cause within its price range, you can opt for Poco X3 NFC. It has raw and log shooting as well as other increments–like the Ultrawide lens, 120Hz refresh rate, and 6GB of ram. But if you’re eyeing an affordable 5G phone, I surely will recommend the Redmi Note 9T. This is the very first cheap 5G from Xiaomi, and besides, it has faster charging and the 7nm chipset really gives power efficiency. You will have 5G and productivity, and some gaming in this device for just less than P12,000.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T is a decent phone for the price. It’s fairly snappy in use, it has a nice design that fits snugly in the hand, and you’re getting 5G compatibility on a budget. It’s not perfect – the display isn’t as bright as it could be, and camera performance is uninspiring – but such limitations come with the price tag. It’s hard to recommend, though, with the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite offering better specs for the same price.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T 5G Review
Source: Yugatech English
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T 5G has the makings of a good mid-range smartphone — a large hi-res screen, new and capable chipset, 5G connectivity, good cameras, and a large battery. We don’t have the local SRP, though, but we expect it to be priced competitively like the older Redmi 9 series models. If you’re looking for a solid daily driver with casual gaming power, this phone should be on your list.

Xiaomi seemingly had a specific goal in mind with the Redmi Note 9T - modern 5G connectivity on a budget. In fact, that goal is obviously shared by its close Chinese sibling in the Redmi Note 9 5G, as well. With the small caveat that hitting international markets meant making a few compromises on the Redmi Note 9T specs to stay within budget. Namely, dropping the ultrawide camera and reducing the fast charging speed. That's on top of sacrifices that are inherent to cramming 5G support into a budget phone.

80% Redmi Note 9T review: Strengths and struggles
Source: Pocket Lint English
Great value for money is the key sell here. While the strong feature set sounds like enough to see off its rivals, the 9T suffers from push and pull with its software that causes irks, meaning it's an affordable phone that'll suit some - but not all.

The Redmi Note 9T lowers the barrier to entry for 5G connectivity. The phone ticks all the right boxes in terms of hardware, featuring a large 6.53-inch screen, outstanding performance, and a 48MP module at the back that takes great photos. If you don't mind the fact that it's still based on Android 10, the Redmi Note 9T is a great overall package.

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9T is a solid phone that takes the fight to Realme and OnePlus in the budget market. If you're looking for 5G and the best battery life for the price, look no further than the Note 9T. However, if a dazzling display and punchy photos are what you're after, there are better options for a little bit more cash.
