Redmi 9 Camera

Around the back, there is a dual-camera setup arranged in a squircle camera housing, which looks like a triple camera setup, but is not. The primary camera is a 13MP shooter followed by a 2MP depth sensor, below the main camera is a flash unit followed by an empty camera cutout. Sounds funny, but it does add up to a more symmetrical look.

Anyways, the main highlight of the phone itself other than 4GB/64GB memory configuration for just INR 8,999 ($122), includes a massive 5000mAh battery. But unfortunately, Redmi 9 draws its power through a MicroUSB port, and the adapter itself is just a standard unit.

For Authentication, a traditional fingerprint sensor is located at the back side of the Redmi 9.
