Expert Reviews | Tom Bruce

The Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 is incredible value for money. It has a large, good-quality FHD display, a fantastic quadruple camera setup and it delivers performance that's on par with one of its key competitors, the Motorola Moto G8.

... it competes with some powerful phones in the segment such as the Realme 6, Poco M2 Pro, and even the Redmi Note 9 Pro. These models offer improved performance and better features than the Redmi Note 9, making this variant a little hard to recommend.

Mashable India | Prasham Parikh

... if the camera, and even the gaming performance, are absolutely critical for you, I'd suggest you shell out a bit more money for the Realme 6 or the Redmi Note 9 Pro.

It might not have the spec frills of the Pro and Pro Max, but the Note 9 is perhaps the most Note-like in the Note series.

Overall, the Redmi Note 9 looks good but feels slightly cheap due to the plastic back

India Today | Sushant Talwar

The Redmi Note 9 is a good option, if not the best in the price segment it comes fighting in. The phone impresses in certain areas such as the battery life, display and even its overall performance.

If you are looking for a better performing smartphone at the same price tag, the Realme Narzo 10 is a better budget gaming option

91mobiles | Sanket Vijayasarathy

The Redmi Note 9 is a fine addition to the Note family and is definitely worth buying at its starting price, but there are better options available when one moves higher up the price ladder.

How HandsetExpert Works: We don't run ads on the site, or charge users to use the site. The site is funded using commission links, where we may receive a commission if a phone or tariff is purchased via HandsetExpert. Our editorial, phone scoring and recommendation system and deal-finding algorithms are not affected by this; we are fiercely committed to providing unbiased, independent information.

Important notes

  • We aim to compare as many tariffs in the marketplace from the UK as possible. However, we do not include every package (e.g. legacy tariffs no longer available, or tariffs only available to existing/specific customers), nor do we detail every aspect of every tariff (e.g. international out of bundle rates, on-network minutes, etc).
  • SIM Only deals do not include plans shorter than 30 days or Pay As You Go rates.
  • We work really hard to get accurate prices from as many providers as possible, but some deals or providers may not be included; if there’s anything we’ve missed then please get in touch and let us know.
  • Whenever we can, we will let you know if a deal is time limited (such as a flash deal), and when the deal expires.
  • For tariffs which offer "unlimited" allowances, there may be times where traffic management or fair usage policies apply.
  • Additional charges for payment methods other than direct debit and for itemised/paper billing may apply.
  • Data only SIM cards, mobile broadband packages, and pay monthly tablets are currently not included in the comparison.
  • Out of bundle charges are not included in the calculation of Average Monthly Cost.
  • Contracts may not be available for some phone models in all colours and/or sizes, and a small number may only be available either as a pay monthly contract or a contract free handset, but not both.
  • Providers may increase the cost of your contract by RPI (inflation). However, if prices are increased that then cause a materially detrimental impact, you have the right to exit your contract without penalty. More details available from Ofcom plus comparative information on customer service and complaints handling & their guide on how to complain.
  • Ofcom runs a voluntary accreditation scheme for digital comparison tools (DCTs) for telephone, broadband and pay-TV, and has confirmed that this DCT meets the criteria for accreditation. For further details about the scheme, including the criteria that DCTs must meet, visit the price comparison page on the Ofcom website.
