Redmi 9T on the left, Redmi Note 9T on the right. Both displays are equipped with about 6.53 inch full HD + (2340 x 1080 dots) liquid crystal
It feels almost the same. There is a difference in how the screen looks
Although the thickness of the Redmi Note 9T is slightly thinner, the feeling of size when held is almost the same. Impression that the screen is large and easy to see, but it is a smartphone that is heavy as it is.
Both bezels are about the same, with Redmi Note 9T having a punch-hole type in-camera in the upper left corner of the screen, and Redmi 9T having a drop-shaped notch in the upper center.
Fingerprint/face recognition OK. FeliCa is only Redmi Note 9T
Both power buttons also serve as fingerprint authentication sensors, and face authentication can also be used. The response speed of the fingerprint authentication sensor is almost the same, and both can be unlocked without any stress.
In addition, Redmi Note 9T is the first Xiaomi smartphone to have Felica, and you can use the wallet function. A mark indicating that is also printed on the back.
The camera has 3 eyes and 4 eyes. Check out the difference in the photos!
The cameras are Redmi Note 9T with 3 eyes and Redmi 9T with 4 eyes, the main camera with 48 million pixels, the portrait (depth) camera with 2 million pixels, and the macro camera with 2 million pixels are the same. However, the Redmi 9T also has an 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera.
On the other hand, the digital zoom is up to 10x for Redmi Note 9T, and up to 8x for Redmi 9T. Also, Redmi 9T supports up to full HD / 30fps for videos, while Redmi Note 9T supports 4K / 30fps. In addition, only Redmi Note 9T has a Vlog mode that allows you to easily shoot short movies.
Let's take a look at an example shot with the actual device (The example below has been resized to 1,200 dots. Click to view full size at 4,000 dots).

The name is confusing but the usability is quite different
Redmi Note 9T is MediaTek CPU Dimensity 800U, Redmi 9T equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 662. Both are for the middle range, but as far as I tried, I didn't feel particularly stressed when enjoying videos and games.
However, when I compared it, the Redmi Note 9T seemed a little faster in terms of app startup time and touch response speed. Both have 4GB of memory and 64GB of storage, and the battery is 5,000mAh for Redmi Note 9T and 6,000mAh for Redmi 9T. I didn't notice any extreme difference in how the battery drained when I used them in the same way, but I felt that the Redmi 9T had a slightly longer battery life due to its larger capacity.
Redmi Note 9T and Redmi 9T have similar names and specs and are a bit confusing, but there are differences that can be seen from the specs, such as compatibility with 5G and Felica, the presence or absence of dual SIM, and battery capacity, as well as the vividness of the display and the camera. I was able to feel the difference in many points when I actually used it, such as the usability of the app and the time it takes to start the app.
In particular, the difference in display brightness and vividness is obvious, and this seems to be a point when choosing. The camera is easy to switch between zooms, and the wide-angle makes it easy to take snapshots with the Redmi 9T, but the brightness and beauty of the night view and selfies are about 4,000 yen higher than the Redmi Note 9T.
However, it is a difference that can be understood only by comparing all points, and both have necessary and sufficient performance, and I did not feel any inconvenience when using them. In particular, I often use Mobile Suica, so I once again felt that the benefits of being able to use Felica on the affordable Redmi Note 9T are great.
