Redmi 9C NFC

Technical specifications

I have owned it for several years. I have disabled all possible background processes, all screen animations, advertisements, updates in the developer options, reports to Google, and so on. It is configured for maximum performance as much as possible. Two SIM cards, a 256 GB SD card. It operates very efficiently. The only issue is the radio, which everyone writes exists, but it has not been there for me from the beginning.

A terrible phone. It does not matter that the battery lasts long when it constantly freezes and runs slowly as if it were from another era. I do not know where such good reviews come from; yes, the appearance is fine and that is all. I advise against it because one only experiences frustration; it is better to pay more and buy a proven model. The phone is a failure.

If I had the choice between being run over by a tank twenty times or buying this phone again, I’d choose option number one.
There are definitely more cons than pros. Where do I even begin?
The biggest downsides are:
- It’s incredibly laggy. When I was coming home from work, I tried to call an Uber, but my beautiful brick called the Redmi 9C NFC just gave up and decided it wouldn't open; it kept protesting like that for half an hour.
- I bought the 64 GB version, and I have to say that despite the apps I installed (and there weren't many), the phone still decided that most of the storage should be reserved for system apps.
- I’m honestly speechless when it comes to the camera. When I open the app, the interface appears half-cut-off and the camera fails to connect. Sometimes the app even crashes because the camera can't initialize. I’m beyond disappointed with this flaw.
- When watching things like YouTube Shorts, the video quality is horrifyingly bad—I have nightmares about those clips.
- Opening heavy apps like TikTok or YouTube is genuinely traumatic for this phone. Sometimes I actually feel sorry for my brick when I see it struggling (I even shed a tear writing this).
- The battery was okay at first, but after a few months, it reached a point in its life where it loses charge even when it’s doing absolutely nothing.
- One day I woke up to find my phone showing a "call ended" screen after a conversation with my mother (I hadn't called anyone).
And that’s it for the cons. Now for the pros:
- It actually looks quite good.
-
-
-
-
-
In summary, it’s actually not such a bad phone if you happen to run out of toilet paper at home. But if you need a backup phone (ONLY FOR CALLS AND TEXTS), then I recommend it. Otherwise, please avoid this phone.
Thank you for your attention.

I put up with the 2/32GB version for three years and I definitely do not recommend it. The camera is acceptable (for close-ups), but some photos are not saved. The only advantage of the phone is the battery, which currently is able to last for 2 days if the phone is not used for too long, which its low performance encourages. Frequent freezes, even for more than a minute, long file loading times, and rapid overheating are just the tip of the iceberg. Compared to the similarly priced Galaxy A10, it operates as if it wanted to but was unable to. This is not surprising since the free RAM in this phone is an optical illusion (from 400 MB to 600 MB, which are never used, which may also result from the fact that 2 GB is actually 1.7 GB). Launching games, e.g., Minecraft or Brawl Stars, ends in a several-minute freeze, after which the phone restarts or you have to do it yourself, because if it does not do it, it remains in that state for several - several dozen minutes. This actually applies to using any application. Recently, even TikTok or YouTube had to be launched several times for anything to happen at all (beyond the screen with the application logo). Messages such as "Android System keeps stopping", "The application is not responding" are the order of the day (though I would not really call it order). The phone also often freezes when someone calls, which meant I frequently had to call people back. The second biggest problem is the constant lack of memory space. Despite all attempts to free up space, the results are always temporary. The system occupies a total of 20 GB, 10 GB is for the user, and with the remaining two, everything ceases to function. Downloading files from the internet happens with great reluctance.

Replacement phone version 3GB Ram 64GB Rom
I have been using it for a month and unfortunately, I have noticed that it has certain disadvantages but also advantages
Advantages:
1. It works smoothly
2. With continuous use, it lasted up to 12 hours
3. Applications and games work, but in short, only low-demand games
Disadvantages:
1. In my model, I discovered 3 disadvantages
2. Sometimes it does not respond to touch and you have to turn the screen off and on
3. Sometimes, however, there are problems with the sound and you have to restart the phone and everything works normally again (it is very rare but unfortunately it does happen)
4. Notifications about lack of space on the SIM card when I did not have a card in it; this is the smallest problem but a strange one
Summarizing, I neither recommend nor discourage this model. If you do not expect any extraordinary features, I can recommend the phone only to people who want a phone for calling and sending text messages, but for more demanding games, it will definitely not be suitable.

pros:
- has a minijack
cons:
- weak camera
- the camera does not recognize an external microphone via the minijack. You have to install Open Camera and even then it works poorly
- a modified Android that displays two dates at once and two battery levels at once
- to install applications via ADB, you must have a Mi account
- responsiveness is at a level where you have to wait 10 seconds to open a PDF
- no manual
for a phone sold below production costs, I give it a 3+/10

I have been struggling with using this phone for about half a year - the phone worked very slowly. However, recently while charging, it restarted (automatically; it was not caused by an update, etc., it just restarted on its own). Surprisingly, since then it has been working relatively "tolerably". Performance has significantly improved. It finally works as it should (considering the specifications).

At the beginning, the phone was fine, but after 5-7 months, something began to malfunction. When I access Google, I have to wait for it to load, or exit and re-enter. The phone does not handle a large number of background applications well and becomes warm after entering an application. The phone freezes constantly; it is necessary to clear the cache all the time. Overall, the phone is useless.

Terrible low-quality equipment, I have had the phone for 3 months and after a week it started to function very slowly in every aspect, and once I installed additional applications, it became a complete failure... I advise against this phone, a second-hand device from OLX for 150 zloty is better than this low-quality equipment.

The phone has always been a bit slow, sometimes the touch response and opening some apps takes a couple of seconds more, but the strength of this machine is in its solid construction, it has been dropped many times but it still working as if nothing happened, I have it without a case. Almost bulletproof like my old Nokia 5120.
