The G9 costs Rs 11,499 whereas the Redmi Note 9 costs Rs 11,999.
Lenovo owned Motorola launched the Moto G9 on 24th August 2020 in India. The phone trades blows with some of the recent budget Realme and Xiaomi devices, especially with Redmi Note 9. In this article, we'll be comparing the Moto G9 with the Redmi Note 9 to see which one's an overall better offering under Rs 12,000 segment.
Moto G9 vs Redmi Note 9: Display
Starting with the main component of any phone, the G9 comes with an HD+ 20:9 1600x720 pixels resolution display which Moto calls "Max Vision display"." In contrast, the Redmi note 9 is one of the phones in the market to offer a Full HD+ IPS display under Rs 12,000 which crushes the G9's display. Motorola has a waterdrop notch, but the Note 9's punch hole and the chin are less aggressive when compared to G9's chin and notch which take up quite a bit of screen away.
Moto G9 vs Redmi Note 9: Performance
The Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 is a great mid-range chipset but is no match to the Mediatek Helio G85 found on the Redmi Note 9. The Day to day performance will be better on the Redmi Note 9 with the phone also capable of running games smoothly. Don't get me wrong the Snapdragon 662 is a great SoC for day-to-day tasks but, it's just not up to the G85 mark.
RAM and Storage
The Moto G9 has only one variant that comes with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage whereas the Redmi Note 9 comes in two variants - 4GB RAM and 64/128GB storage.
Cameras
The G9 comes with triple rear camera setup; The primary sensor being everyone's favourite 48-megapixel Sony IMX586, 2-megapixel depth sensor, a 2-megapixel sensor.
Whereas, the Redmi Note 9 has a quad-camera setup consisting of a 48-megapixel Samsung ISOCELL Bright GM1 primary sensor, along with an f/1.79 lens, 8-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, 2-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. For selfies, it has a 13-megapixel camera in the front. So on paper G9 has a better camera but I hasn't checked it, whereas I was satisfied with the camera performance of Redmi Note 9.
Battery
The Redmi Note 9 packs a slightly larger 5020mAh battery compared to 5000mAh on the Moto G9. So it is a tie in this department but since Moto G9 has an HD+ display as compared to Full HD+ on Note 9 one can expect a better performance on Moto Device.
Also, Moto G9 comes bundled with a 20W Turbocharger in the box whereas the Redmi Note 9 comes with a 22.5W fast charger inside the box.
Software
The Moto G9 comes with Moto's custom UI which gives close to stock Android experience with almost no bloatware whereas, Redmi Note 9 comes with MIUI 12 which has quite nifty customisations but also comes loaded with bloatware and ads as well.
Both the UIs have their pros and cons but, at the end of the day, it depends on the personal choice of a customer.
Conclusion
The Moto G9 costs Rs 11,499 whereas the Redmi Note 9 costs Rs 11,999. If we look at the specifications, the Redmi Note 9 with an FHD+ and Helio G85 offers significantly better value for money than the Moto G9. If you're into Moto UI and are willing to compromise on display and performance, the G9 is for you.
