Hello guys,

After waiting for donkey years, the redmi note 9s is finally available in Nigeria.

For the price at the time of publishing this post, You can buy the redmi note 9s for N88,200 for the 4gb RAM, 64GB internal Storage while the infinix note 7 is priced at N76,000 for the same spec. There's a price difference of N12,200 between the two smartphones which isn’t a lot so which smartphone should you go for?

Well, Starting off with the build quality, the redmi note 9s comes with Corning gorilla 5 at the front and back. The infinix note 7 on the other hand comes with Corning gorilla glass 3 at the front and plastic at the rear. So in a drop, the rear of the infinix will only scratch while the redmi note 9s will shatter. Always put on a case to avoid stories that touch the heart.

Looking at both smartphones, they look flashy at the rear but looking at the front, the redmi note 9s has that modern 2020 look with the hole punch for the front camera at the top center position of the display. The front of the infinix note 7 doesn't look bad either but I suspect more people will pick the look of the redmi note 9s over the infinix note 7.

On the weighing scale, the redmi note 9s is the heavier device. For me, the Infinix Note 7 has the perfect weight.

For the external features, the redmi note 9s comes with a USB type c port, 3.5mm audio jack, dual microphones, a mono speaker, and an IR blaster. The infinix note 7 on the other hand comes with a 3.5mm audio jack, a micro USB port, a mic, and stereo speakers. Both phones come with dual SIM tray, a memory card slot, and power buttons that double as the fingerprint scanner. For the external features, the redmi note 9s wins.

Moving to the display, the redmi note 9s comes with a 6.6 inch 1080P IPS LCD panel while the infinix note 7 comes with a 6.95 inch 720p IPS LCD panel and Putting them side by side, the redmi note 9s display is brighter and sharper but Size-wise, the infinix note 7 has the bigger display. So yes, the redmi note 9s has the better display but it isn’t perfect. The backlighting around the camera is not even as you can see and the infinix note 7 doesn’t have that issue.

Moving on to performance, the infinix note 7 has the faster fingerprint scanner. Yes!!!!!. Finally….but that's because the note 9s has some animation thing going on. But it's still a win for the infinix note 7 nevertheless. Both smartphones have the face unlock feature and they are really fast. I found the face unlock on the infinix note 7 to be more reliable than the redmi note 9s.

Antutu benchmark test shows that the redmi note 9s is really fast. Same with geek bench test.
Launching application, the Snapdragon 720G processor leaves the mediatek helio G70 processor in the dust. The redmi note 9s is blazing fast for its price range! It comes with a Snapdragon 720G processor, which is an 8nm processor, and as you can see it is much faster than the mediatek helio G70, which is a 12nm processor.
Playing pubg on both smartphones is fluid. The highest graphics settings on both smartphones is HD graphics and high frame rate.

Let's do a recap before we move on, for build quality, the note 9s wins, for features the note 9s wins, for display the note 9s wins, for performance the note 9s wins...sigh… what about the cameras.

For the front camera, both smartphones come with a 16MP camera and looking at the images captured, I’ll give it to the redmi note 9s. Portrait shot on the redmi note 9s is also better.

For the main camera sensor at the rear, both smartphones come with a 48MP main camera and they both take good pictures. In the dark, the infinix note 7 takes the better picture but the redmi note 9s has the more versatile camera system as it has a wide-angle camera. So for the camera, the redmi note 9s wins.


Moving on to the battery, the redmi note 9s comes with a 5,020mAh battery while the infinix note 7 comes with a 5,000mAh battery. Both phones come with 18 watts fast charging capabilities. Xiaomi feeling generous included a 22 watts fast charger with the redmi note 9s while you get an 18 watts fast charger with the infinix note 7. For the batteries, I'll say it's a draw but its tilting more to the side of the redmi note 9s.

So, ladies and gentlemen, we have a new budget champion. The redmi note 9s priced at N88,200 is actually too good to be true. No SmartPhone released in the year 2020 in the budget category can match it right now but it has it flaws which I will be covering in my full review. For infinix note 7 owners, don't be sad. The note 7 is still a very good device. In my opinion, its the best device offered by infinix and the 2nd best budget smartphone that came out in the year 2020 in Nigeria.

So that’s it guys, Thank you for taking the time to read this post. You can watch the comparison video with the youtube link.

Valorreviews I like your honest review compared to others in this platform

The two devices don't have the same specs. You may do well to modify this portion. Nice comparison though

Saying plastic that can fade and gather scratches is better than glass ?

Saying 8nm with 5,020MAh and a 12nm with 5000Mah is almost draw ?

Saying 720p on 6.9inches is not crap ?

Micro USB in this era ?

Comparing 4k @30fps and 1080p @30/60/120fps and 720p @960fps video recording with 1080p @30fps ?

Saying a phone with HDR10 is not so okay but 720p no HDR is ?

Comparing UFS 2.1 storage with crappy eMMC 5.1 as same specs ?

Bros you need to review this your 'review' as there is lots of flaws in it.

I'll choose the RN 9s even if it's priced higher than the IN7 for several reasons:
1. Display
2. SoC
3. Support, official and unofficial (custom ROMs and all)
4. Better hardware

And a host of other unlisted specs and features.

IN 7 tried but underutilizing the G70 was something Transsion shouldn't have done.

you just took the words outta my mouth. Bless up

This isn't even a review!
All you did was to state their specs.
But even at that there's no way that Infinix is better than a Redmi Note9s

Bloody Zesus.
This reply coming from a nairalander.... Ewooh... Indeed lies and deceit can longer hide in nairaland...

You should join the quality inspection check sir... Your review of his review was worth every read... �

Sorry but your review is waste of time and effort.

It is a big insult to compare Infinix with Xiaomi.

Compare Infinix with fellow trashy phones in Tecno and Itel, not Xiaomi which delivers powerful mid-range devices while Infinix and its brothers keep producing phones that belong to the dustbin.
