Redmi 9T

Technical specifications

My Redmi 9T unit turned out to be poor. Within a year, the motherboard failed twice.

I have been the owner of the Redmi 9T for less than a year; specifically, I purchased it at the end of September 2021. I am satisfied with the phone; although it experiences occasional performance slowdowns, it does not bother me at all. In comparison to my previous phone, which was a Samsung Galaxy J6 (2018) with a battery of approximately 3000 mAh, this phone has a battery that is twice as large and features fast charging, which I am truly and very positively pleased with.

I have been using the Redmi 9T for a year and a half. After the first year, almost on the anniversary of the purchase, the motherboard suddenly failed. It was during a trip to Belgium. It was good that I had an old Samsung X cover 3 as a backup. The warranty claim was accepted and completed on time. But after that, the phone sometimes started losing the GPS signal and at times it was impossible to use navigation. After 3 months, the display delaminated in the upper right corner and the screen dimmed whenever it felt like it. I had it repaired privately for one hundred to avoid waiting 14 days for the warranty claim.

Apart from that, it is fine. I did not expect much for this price. A large memory and a size smaller than a television were important. I am VERY satisfied with the battery - with average use, when I plug it in for charging in the evening, I still have 60-70 %.

I have had the phone for 3 years and the memory has already completely failed; despite deleting most applications and photos, it shows that the system occupies the full 128 GB/128 GB. It is impossible to use the camera, and sometimes mobile payments fail. Ads appear in the memory cleaning application, and when the memory is full, a notification with ads is displayed every 5 minutes. My sister's phone of the same model turned off after 2 years and never turned on again. It can have certain errors and suddenly closes applications. Personally, I do not like the Xiaomi system itself and all its applications. The camera is average; the only advantage is the long-lasting battery. For its price, the phone is good for a year.. no more. It has completely discouraged me from the entire company.

I have had this phone for 4 years. It does not have errors as tragic as a broken motherboard; however, when I started running out of memory about a year ago, I inserted a memory card into the phone, and it refused to cooperate with it. It only stores on it what I manually select and transfer, and Messenger has stopped working. The battery usually lasts about 2 days, which I consider a result that is not the worst, although my brother's phone, he uses a Samsung, lasts nearly a week with a similar duration and intensity of use. Some advertisements in games could not be muted, meaning even when the phone was theoretically completely silent, the advertisements played at full volume, which was bothersome to the point that the games had to be uninstalled.

I have had the phone for over a year. The opinions of the majority surprise me. My phone does not have any of the defects mentioned here. It has never frozen, and the Wi-Fi is flawless. The battery lasts a long time and features fast charging. I am very satisfied with it and recommend it to everyone who wants to have an excellent phone for a reasonable price.
Let me explain. The same model does not mean identical performance and similar faults. User requirements vary, smartphones are used differently and manufactured differently. The same model that breaks for one person a day after purchase works for another user for a year without any problems. I hope I have reduced the level of surprise slightly. Best regards. (jf)

I have had this phone for over 5 years and it has never let me down. I do not have any special requirements, I do not usually browse FB and other apps, so the battery lasts 5 to 6 days without a problem. Only messages, calls, and possibly shopping on the screen. It is important not to fill the built-in memory above 50 to 55 percent, because the phone begins to slow down. Overall, for so many years of use, it is okay. The worst thing about Xiaomi is, of course, the ubiquitous advertisements and notifications. Fortunately, with AI it is possible to permanently disable them completely.

This phone is a terrible, poor-quality product. In almost every model, the motherboard eventually fails and the phone stops turning on. The only solution is not to turn the phone off, or to heat the motherboard with a heat gun or a hair dryer before turning it on. In my case, the problem appeared after only a year, and from what I have read on forums, it happened even earlier for many other users. Despite my previous liking for the Xiaomi company, they have discouraged me with this defective product to the point that I will never purchase a phone from them again.

I have had it for 3 years and I definitely do not recommend it. I bought one for myself and my wife on the same day. After about 3 years of use, the motherboard failed and the display is delaminating; furthermore, it cannot be turned on. My wife's phone failed and did not turn back on a week after mine. Personally, I suspect intentional action by the manufacturer.

I have had this phone for 3 years - from September 2021m to now (August 2024). The phone is reasonably fine, but at the beginning of this year I think the warranty expired, because I noticed that it became very slow and recently the screen started flickering and does not allow me to use the phone in any way, so I would rather not recommend it.
