Xiaomi is already planning on unveiling the successor of the Redmi Note 9-series. The company released the phone nearly a year ago, and going by their release cycle – the time has come for a predecessor. Meanwhile, the Redmi Note 9 series are still on sale, and each day, more people purchase the device. It’s probably won’t due to its value for money pricing and the maximum support it has received and continue to receive.
As you may have known, the three phones (Redmi Note 9 Pro Max, Note 9 Pro, and Redmi Note 9S) are basically the same. They run the Snapdragon 720 SoC paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of memory. Depending on the model you choose, you’ll get either a primary 64MP or 48MP shooter. Of course, it takes a nice shot given all the AI enchantments, but you get better shots with the Google camera app (Gcam).
Gcam is an exclusive camera app for Pixels phones. The camera app comes with powerful features that make shots taken with Pixel phones stand out. However, there are mods of these camera apps that work on non-Pixel phones, including Xiaomi phones. Luckily, there’s a version you can download and install on Redmi Note 9 Pro Max, Note 9 Pro, and Redmi Note 9S.
