One Of The Best Mid Rangers On The Market Xiaomi Mi 9T

With what seems to be like a plethora of budget android options around, the market is getting saturated.

But of course, no one is really going to complain about there being too many options when it comes to cheap phones, I mean... the more the merrier, right? The Xiaomi Mi 9T may just be the best of the bunch, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves just yet. We had a month to play around with the phone and here's what we think.

Design-wise, the phone is a stunner. Xiaomi released the Mi 9T in 3 colours and all 3 are, as they say these days, "fire". We received "glacier blue" and I really like the holographic effects on the back of the device that is evident when it catches light in just the right angle. The best part about the back of the phone is that it's not that much of a fingerprint magnet, but perhaps it's just the colour we got.

One thing I really like is the cover the phone comes with. None of that transparent plastic crap. It comes with a nice-looking matte black cover that's hard not to love. If the snazziness of the blue colorway isn't for you, just snap the classy matte black cover on and you're good to go.

Compared to it's rivals in this price range, the Mi 9T is arguably the best looking phone. Its sibling, the Redmi K20, and the Realme X don't look as good, though VIVO's recently launched S1 might give the Mi 9T a run for its money in the design department.
