There's been a sudden surge of budget phone launches in the past few months; the Redmi 9 from Xiaomi being one of them. This recent offering is priced under Rs. 10,000 and is the successor to the Redmi 8 (Review). The Redmi 9 sold in India shouldn't be confused with the global model of the same name, which is sold as the Redmi 9 Prime (Review) over here. The Indian version of the Redmi 9 is actually a tweaked Redmi 9C.

Hubert R. (Oct 23, 2020) on Amazon

(1) Camera not good at all. (2)A tempered glass should have been included in the overall package. (3) An earphone set would have been handy.(4) Battery susceptible... Says 5000 MAh but I'm not sure.(5) Charger head gets heated up in no time.(6) Says 64gb internal whereas 12 of the 64 is already consumed by in built apps.(7) Till date can't easily find accessories online like what is there immensely available for a Redmi note or a Redmi prime.
