Detailed review of the camera features on the Redmi Note 9s phone
- Main camera with a resolution of 48MP
Although it's the latest generation, comparing specifications reveals that the main camera of the Redmi Note 9s phone has been somewhat reduced compared to the Redmi Note 8 Pro. Specifically, the Redmi Note 9s phone only has a 48MP main camera, whereas the Redmi Note 8 Pro has 64MP. However, in terms of quality and photography effectiveness, there isn't much difference.
In well-lit conditions, the main camera of the Redmi Note 9s phone performs admirably, with pleasing, realistic colors. However, in low-light environments such as overcast days, color quality tends to diminish, and detail isn't as good as in good lighting conditions.
Surprisingly, the camera's performance in low-light conditions combined with the night mode of the Redmi Note 9s phone is quite impressive, scoring around 8.5/10. Small details captured in the photo are quite impressive, and the color gradients from the light are vivid and beautiful.
- Wide-angle camera
The wide-angle camera of the Redmi Note 9s phone boasts an 8MP resolution and extends the field of view from 79 degrees to 119 degrees. Essentially, users shouldn't have overly high expectations for the wide-angle camera's photography capabilities. It provides a fairly average wide-angle shot, with some details remaining unclear and noticeable distortion at the edges. Nevertheless, it's still quite decent for capturing pictures for social media.

- Macro Camera
Compared to the wide-angle camera, the macro camera on the Redmi Note 9s phone is slightly better regarded. The 5MP macro camera with its relatively fast autofocus capability allows for easy adjustment of various settings.
Despite being an affordable phone, the close-up shooting capability of the Redmi Note 9s is truly remarkable: even the tiniest details can be displayed quite well, with natural-looking colors.

- Front Camera
The Redmi Note 9s phone features a 16MP front camera that supports AI portrait mode with decent background blur capabilities.
How much does the Redmi Note 9s phone cost? Is it worth buying for its camera cluster?
Currently, the Redmi Note 9s phone is not widely available, with most major electronics stores no longer carrying this product line. However, you can purchase it from retail systems nationwide or opt for a used model. The price for a new Redmi Note 9s phone is around 4,290,000 VND.
Returning to the question of whether it's worth buying the Redmi Note 9s phone solely for its camera cluster, one needs to consider their usage needs. As analyzed earlier, considering all aspects, the camera cluster of the Redmi Note 9s phone only achieves a decent level of photography rather than anything outstanding. Therefore, if you're a basic user, the camera capabilities of the Redmi Note 9s phone can still be considered good within its capabilities. However, for younger users nowadays, it seems that the camera cluster falls short.
Within this price range, there are still some alternatives to the Redmi Note 9s phone that offer both good camera experiences and other luxurious features and functions.
