Its screens do show us differences, in the chaos of the Mi 9 with 6.4 inches and Amoled technology , while the Redmi Note 8 Pro is IPS with 6.53 inches .
In size the Redmi Note 8 Pro is heavier, reaching 199 grams , compared to 173 grams of the lightweight Mi 9. This is due to the battery, where the Redmi Note 8 Pro has 4,500 mAh , compared to the few 3,300 mAh of the Xiaomi Mi 9. An important aspect to take into account, where in the Redmi Note 8 Pro we will obtain several more hours of autonomy, although both devices use MIUI and will be enough to end the day.
What do you need in the cameras, and in power?
Depending on our preferences and needs we can opt for one of the models, in its main cameras we find 64 Mpx in the Redmi Note 8 Pro , compared to the 48 Mpx of the Mi 9 . Both have a wide angle lens, more complete in the case of the Mi 9, although both are equally valid. However, as for the telephoto lens, it is only available on the Mi 9, allowing us to obtain remote and quality images.
If we talk about the power we find an important factor, where the Xiaomi Mi 9 ditch with the Snapdragon 855 one of the most powerful processors, compared to the Mediatek Helio G90T of the Redmi Note 8 Pro. Two devices that will therefore offer us here a Remarkable difference when playing games and enjoying our applications in the system.
Prices, as a determining factor
Finally we find the key point, its price, where the Xiaomi Mi 9 is more expensive, although it offers us one of the best processors, in addition to a memory that starts at 128 GB and even allows us to opt for 256 GB and added as Wireless and reverse charging . However, the Redmi Note 8 with its very good cameras allows us to have a very complete and level device for a much smaller outlay, with more than 100 euros of difference .
It is up to the user to write down the most important points depending on the needs, but possibly in our opinion we would opt for the Redmi Note 8 Pro, for the battery and cameras, leaving the processor a bit aside.
