Redmi 9 Prime: Should you buy it?
Overall, the Redmi 9 Prime is one of the best phones to buy under Rs 10,000. But at Rs 11,999, we would suggest buying the Redmi Note 9 or Realme Narzo 10 instead.
In our review of the Redmi 9 Prime, we said that it has all the making to be the new go-to phone under Rs 10,000. Indeed, it’s starting price makes it an attractive deal for anyone looking for a budget phone with a great display. The phone also offers decent performance and a long-lasting battery. We do miss the fact that the phone does not come with a fast charger in the box and a dedicated Night mode for the camera, but these issues can be ignored at this price point.
