how's the battery life of redmi 9 line of phones?

note 4x is dying and need a new phone.

don't really want to spend too much

I was hoping that the redmi series still had snapdragon soc for custom rooms but I find out the current line is all mediatek

so now I'm at an impass

go with xiaomi since I like miui (pls don't hate me)

but it has helio and if memory serves they don't have as much batt efficiency compared to snapdragona

or maybe it's just time to look for another phone, realme has a current Gen snapdragon

i have the redmi 9 global version and this one has 12 hours of SoT on medium usage. but it depends on the app you use. the camera is kinda bad but tolerable. performance is okay too unless you play heavy titles, this ain't for you.

realme phones are kinda more expensive but if I were you, i'd go with the realme 7 or 7i depending on your budget

as for a xiaomi phone, get the poco x3 or the redmi note 9 pro. the redmi note 9 is unstable and not worth it trust me.

I got 100 usd or so budget

I know it's low end but I'm cheap and money don't grow on trees

rarely play anything now but I'm more concerned at being able to install YouTube vanced since I just watch vids during commute

Redmi 9s and 9 Pro are snapdragon

The mediatek ones still have excellent battery.

9s and 9 pro are a tad out of my price range.

kinda miss the 4a and 5a era
