Xiaomi has squeezed an AI quad-camera and gigantic battery into a £159 smartphone

How low can you go?

Xiaomi is continuing its tradition of releasing ridiculously good value smartphones with the RedMi 9. The company’s latest entry-level model is light on price and heavy on features, and packs an 13MP AI quad camera with a wide-angle and macro lens, 6.53in FHD+ Dot Drop display, 8MP selfie camera, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a whopping 5020mAh battery for the low, low price of £159. Dual SIM, NFC, and Bluetooth 5.0 support are also included, and the whole thing is wrapped in a splash-proof nano coating that should protect it from any accidental aquatic adventures. Oh, and the best part? It’s available in the UK right now.

About

I’m a freelance games and technology journalist currently mashing my keyboard in the name of fine institutions like Stuff, where you'll usually find me waxing lyrical about the latest mobile morsels. I've also been known to cook up some decidedly delicious reviews from time to time, and was once dubbed 'the games industry's answer to Nigella Lawson' by someone probably somewhere.
