Five points where Xiaomi Redmi Note 9S excels
"Rakuten Hand" has a screen size of 5.1 inches, and "Redmi Note 9S" has a screen size of 6.67 inches. The models have a screen size difference of 1.5 inches or more. In terms of processing power, it is equipped with the "Snapdragon 720G", so it is the same, but the large screen feels "easy to see" when watching videos, playing games, browsing the web, and reading e-books. Even when shooting photos and videos, I can feel the merit of the large screen because it is easy to grasp the overall composition. The saying "big is small" applies to displays, doesn't it?
Using "battery life" to measure the time it takes for the remaining battery power to decrease from 100% to 20%, "Redmi Note 9S" is "25 hours 31 minutes".
"Rakuten Hand" was the result of "18 hours 57 minutes". However, "18 hours and 57 minutes" is as long as a stamina smartphone, so if you use it on a daily basis, you will not feel any inconvenience.
In other words, the Redmi Note 9S runs too long. However, there should be no one who says "I'm in trouble" because the drive time is long. Even if you continue to use it for high power consumption such as "games", "watching videos", and "shooting videos", you don't need a mobile battery with "Redmi Note 9S". Taking full advantage of its high performance, it can be used hard all day long.
Both "Redmi Note 9S" and "Rakuten Hand" support ultra-high resolution shooting of "48 million pixels". In addition, "Redmi Note 9S" is equipped with an "ultra-wide-angle camera" and a "macro camera", so there are plenty of scenes that can be shot.
In addition, it is equipped with a "night view mode" that allows you to take clear handheld photos with low noise even in places with little light.
It also supports "Pro Mode" that allows you to manually set the F-number and shutter speed like a single-lens reflex camera. "Pro mode" is also very useful when shooting video. By adjusting the numerical value little by little, anyone can easily create images like a movie director.
“Rakuten Hand” is only available in “4GB/64GB” models, while “Redmi Note 9S” is available in “6GB/128GB” models. As the memory capacity increases, the amount of data that can be processed at high speed increases, so there is room for operation when many applications are started at the same time.
I think there are many people who think that the storage capacity can be increased with a "Micro SD card", but unfortunately the "Rakuten Hand" does not support a "Micro SD card". Also, external storage consumes more power when reading and writing data than internal storage. When reading and writing data continuously for a long time, such as playing/shooting videos, using the internal storage is obviously more efficient and the continuous drive time is longer.
Xiaomi smartphones use MIUI, which is based on Android. In addition to optimization functions such as "Game Turbo", "Speed Boost", and "Deep Clean", "MIUI" has "Dual App" that can duplicate the same app and use it with two accounts, data is completely separated for work, A "second space" that can be switched for private use is available. Since "Rakuten Hand" is premised on the use of Rakuten's services, it does not have any outstanding functions for "convenient use of smartphones".
