A 5020 mAh battery is the headline here, and it's paired with 18W fast charging plus 9W reverse charging, so you can top up other gadgets in a pinch. Inside, the MediaTic Helio G85 chipset runs alongside 4GB RAM and 128GB storage, enough for everyday apps and media without constant juggling of space. The 6.53-inch IPS LCD panel runs at 1080 x 2340 resolution with a 395 ppi density, giving decent sharpness for the price point.

On the back, a quad camera setup leads with a 48MP main lens at f/1.8, joined by an 8MP ultrawide, a 2MP macro, and a 2MP depth sensor. The 13MP front camera handles selfies and video calls. Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 price in Malaysia starts from RM349, which puts it firmly in budget territory.

Build quality punches above that price too, with Gorilla Glass 5 on the front and a splash-proof coating for light protection against rain or spills. It ships running Android 10 with MIUI 11 on top, and comes in Forest Green, Midnight Grey, and Polar White.
