thanks for a very detailed review, already excited about this phone! In your opinion, is the price N66,000 the right investment for the phone? I have heard a lot about the gaming performance of the Mediatek helio G80 and really want to go for it!
Thanks for the feedback bro. Trust me, even at N70K, the Redmi 9 is still worth it.

Just love the specs of the smartphone. Not just its Mediatek processor, even its battery, display and camera are so awesome at the cost.
