Xiaomi Redmi Note 9 Review

Performance

The Redmi Note 9 is based on a MediaTek Helio G85 chipset. Built on the 12nm process, it houses an octa-core CPU with 2x 2.0GHz Cortex-A75 cores and 6x 1.8GHz Cortex-A55 cores in a big.LITTLE structure. The graphics department is headed by an ARM Mali-G52 2EEMC2 GPU clocked up to 1GHz. MediaTek's HyperEngine is on board providing various gaming enhancements including dynamic allocation of CPU, GPU, and memory. There are 3GB or 4GB of dual-channel LPDDR4X RAM clocked at 1800 MHz. The internal storage is either 64GB or 128GB and can be further expanded. We are reviewing a 4GB+128GB unit. Of those 128GB, 112.74GB is available to the user.
Our Redmi Note 9 review unit scored 206461 points on AnTuTu 8. This result is very similar to results from devices with the Helio P90 chipset. On Geekbench 5, the single-core points are 350 and the multi-core points are 1292. The PCMark Work 2.0 result is close to those of devices based on the Snapdragon 845 chipset.
