There were only a few bright sparks in 2020. While it was a tough year for all the industries, smartphone brands in particular felt the impact of the pandemic in the initial months. However, any fears that the brands might have had were allayed during the third quarter, when the consumer demand for new smartphone models surged. After enduring a torrid few months, consumers wanted reprieve, and this consumer behaviour resulted in them shopping for new smartphone models.

Consequently, brands like Xiaomi, OPPO, Vivo and Samsung shipped more phones in the last two quarters of 2020, as smartphone brands shipped more than 150 million units throughout the year. As expected, the third quarter broke all sorts of records, as consumers’ thirst for new and improved smartphone models drove the smartphone sales. One smartphone in particular was a massive hit in 2020, which was the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max from Xiaomi.

The Chinese giant has been a trailblazer in the Indian smartphone marketplace, and offers feature-rich phones at pocket-friendly prices. This begs the question: What sets Redmi Note 9 Pro Max apart from all the other models? Let us delve into this topic, and see why the model has become a hot favourite among the smartphone users.

Mid-range processor in a pocket-friendly device

Xiaomi hasn’t reached the pinnacle of the smartphone industry overnight, and it didn’t become the most popular brand in the country without any reason. The brand is known to offer the best value-for-money models, which is once again evident with the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max.

The smartphone is powered by the mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G octa-core processor, which clocks at 2.3GHz. This ensures that the smartphone is extremely responsive, and can execute tasks in the blink of an eye. The device also runs on Android v.10 operating system, offering greater convenience.

RAM size

It is not often that you find a 6GB RAM mobile phone that costs less than Rs. 15,000. However, this Redmi mobile phone has made that a reality. The device is available in two variants: 6GB RAM + 128GB ROM, and 6GB RAM + 64GB ROM. The former is available for just Rs. 17,500, making this smartphone arguably the best phone under 20000 INR. Furthermore, the 6GB RAM makes it possible for users to open multiple apps at the same time, while playing graphically-intensive games, without the phone suddenly closing apps or running out of memory.

The high RAM size lets you multitask with ease, and switch between different applications, and load the data faster. You can also expand the internal storage to 512GB via microSD card, and more the storage, the faster your phone works, as it won’t face any space crunch.

Elegant multi-touch display

The Redmi mobile phone sports a massive 6.67-inch FHD+ LCD dot display multi-touch capacitive touchscreen, which is quick and responsive to your touch. This enables users to navigate easily, while the device comes in various colours.

Brilliant cameras

We would remiss if we didn’t talk about the phone’s cameras. Flaunting an awe-inspiring 64MP quad-rear camera array, Redmi Note 9 Pro Max comes with an 8MP ultra-wide angle lens, 5MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth-sensor, while the cameras also come with various features and modes, making it a breeze to click stunning photos. On the front, the smartphone houses a 32MP in-display selfie shooter, which lets you take excellent selfie and group photos.

The phone’s 5,020mAh Lithium-Polymer battery also aids in the smooth and fast operation of the smartphone, providing around 29 hours of talk time, while its 33W fast charger lets you charge the phone to 100 percent in no time!
