Display

Xiaomi redmi note 9t 5g features a 6.53-inch IPS LCD matrix display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The picture refresh rate is 60 Hz, which is normal for this price class, but competitors with 90 Hz and even 120 Hz are already found.

A standard screen is used in the smartphone. Its brightness is 450 nits. Such brightness is enough to comfortably use the phone even when you are on the street on a clear day. 

An interesting point is the certification of the display by the German laboratory TUV Rheinland. That is, it has a low level of blue light emission. It is suitable for use before bedtime.

The smartphone is equipped with a camera system - 48 MP + 2 MP (which measures the depth of the frame) + 2 MP for macro photos. The appearance of the camera application is standard for all devices of the Chinese company. The only thing to pay attention to is the HDR feature - it turns off every time you exit the app.

The main camera supports 4K video recording at 30 frames per second. Optical stabilization is absent, and the electronic one only supports 720 pixels or 1080 pixels at 30 frames per second.

The depth-of-frame sensor is only triggered during portrait shooting. It works great and you will enjoy using it.

The front camera of Xiaomi redmi note 9t 5g is 13-megapixel. It also deserves praise as it is capable of taking pictures in good light. It records 1080 pixel video at 30 frames per second and electronic stabilization.

These are: preventing overheating or overcooling.

You get a 22.5 W charger with your smartphone. It is standard for Xiaomi. Xiaomi redmi note 9t 5g itself supports 18 W fast charging technology.

The autonomous operation of the smartphone will satisfy you. Tests show that with typical daily use - surfing the web, watching videos and taking photos, you can count on almost 9 hours. On lighter workloads - a day, a day and a half.
