I havent bought the phone yet but I think looking at the specs sheet there are certain things that are definitely clear. This is a budget segment smartphone and I think this is an attempt from the brand to stay in news while they gear up to launch something better. This phone is almost similar to the Redmi 9. The only major difference would be the the RAM variant. The Redmi 9 Activ comes with a larger RAM of 6GB compared to the 4GB sole variant of the Redmi 9. Now this phone is further equipped with the Mediatek Helio G35 chipset which is another indication of it being a pretty budget segment smartphone. The camera could have been better in my opinion. This is I think a good option for anyone looking for a secondary phone or just a budget segment smartphone to go by without my hassle.
