In the camera department, a quad-rear camera setup with a 13MP main camera takes care of photography duty. This 13MP camera is assisted by an 8MP secondary sensor with an ultra-wide-angle lens, a 5MP macro shooter and a 2MP depth sensor. Up front, an 8MP sensor takes care of selfies and video calls.
The Redmi 9 Prime features an impressive 5,020mAh battery which offers 18W fast charging support, keeping this device powered all day.
