Despite the havoc Coronavirus has wreaked on the world economy, there are manufacturers that have not slowed down and remain in the innovation race. As usual, Xiaomi is one of the most mobile brands released each year and 2020 does not seem to be different.

6 months ago we were able to meet the Redmi Note 8 Pro, which for many would be the final mid-range of 2019. Now, according to what seems to be Redmi's renovation policies, the time has come to meet the new Redmi Note 9 Pro. However, as it has been happening with several mobile phones this year, including the Black Shark 3, this one did not come only with its Pro version. Or in this case, rather, we would be talking about the Pro Max version.

Surely that "Max" will bring good memories to many, about the now defunct Xiaomi Mi Max range. And, although nothing is still certain, the Redmi Note 9 Pro Max is likely to pave the way for the rebirth of Mi Max phones. In the meantime, let's see what does it better than the Redmi Note 9 Pro.

Despite wearing the suffix Max, The size of this mobile is the same as that of the Pro version, which may disappoint many. But be careful, this does not mean that it is precisely small. In fact, it has one of the largest screen diagonals on the market.

The Redmi Note 9 Pro Max, compared to the Pro version, improvement in the combination of rear cameras, RAM and quick charge capacity. It sounds little, but it is no less important. Especially considering that we are talking about mid-range phones.

These improvements have a reason for being. In the case of the camera, The Redmi Note 9 Pro Max is capable of combining 8 photos at 64 MP to achieve a higher quality shot with better resolution. However, this requires a minimum of 6 GB of RAM, which is why the base version starts at 6 GB.

Another interesting detail is that this mobile follows the example of the Redmi K30 and brings the fingerprint sensor at one end. In general, it is very powerful and having the Snapdragon 720G, a mid-high range processor optimized for a better gaming experience, you will not have problems in the most demanding processes, much less in daily use. And, with the massive 5020 mAh battery, worrying about running out of battery is a thing of the past.
