The Redmi 9A is one of the most recent budget smartphones by Xiaomi. Similar to most of the affordable devices, it also dons a gradient looking rear panel. The smartphone features vertically aligned camera setup on the top-left of the rear panel. Upfront, the device adorns a tall 6.5-inch IPS LCD which offers an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels resolution and an aspect ratio of 20:9. The display features a U-shaped notch for the selfie camera. The overall design this device offers is decent.
The Redmi 9A makes use of the MediaTek Helio G25 processor with 2GHz clock speed. This is a new chipset introduced MediaTek which is gaming-oriented and is designed specifically for entry-level smartphones. The processor is paired up with 2GB/3GB RAM and 32GB onboard storage. It also supports and external microSD card for additional storage space. The smartphone should deliver a good gaming experience since it has a game-centric processor.
For imaging, the Redmi 9A makes use of a single-lens setup at the rear panel. The camera onboard is a 13MP primary sensor with an f/2.2 aperture. For selfies and video calls, the device packs a 5MP sensor packed inside the waterdrop notch. We would have appreciated if the device offered a dual-lens setup; however, since the other aspects of the device are also basic, the company has stuck to a single-lens setup.
