In this era of smartphones, everyone is eager to dominate the competition. Companies are coming up with high performance yet affordable smartphones every other day. Xiaomi is one such company, producing highly efficient yet affordable smartphones.
Today, we are going to look at the specs and the price aspects of the Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Pro, which is expected to launch on Mar 14, 2020.
Before exploring the specs, here is a very quick guide on assessing the smartphone specifications – you can skip the quick guide if you’re quite comfortable with the tech jargon.
Quick Guide
Processor: The more cores a processor has + the faster it is, the faster your phone should be. Qualcomm’s ‘Snapdragon series’ is used in most of the smartphones. 200, 400, 600 and 800 are the classes. The more the class, the faster and efficient processors. Snapdragon 630 > Snapdragon 825 [600 class < 800 class]
GPU: GPU is packaged within the processor on a smartphone. A better GPU comes with a better Processor (in most cases).
RAM: More RAM => More multitasking. A subtle drawback: More RAM can drain the battery faster. Many companies are now coming with RAM >= 4GB.
ROM (internal storage): The more the internal storage, the more the phone can store data. 32 GB internal storage is decently good and there are smartphones with internal storage up to 250 GB.
Resolution: Resolution refers to the number of pixels present in a display. The higher resolution the display is, the more number of pixels it packs in a given area of space, and the sharper the image quality will be.
Battery: Battery capacity is measured in milliamp-hours (mAh). The higher the value of mAh, the greater the capacity, and the longer your smartphone should last on a charge.
Camera: Camera resolution is expressed in megapixels (MP), and a single megapixel refers to one million pixels. 16 MP, 20 MP, 60 MP are now common in the market.
