Verdict
Redmi 9i Sport is a basic smartphone that helps people upgrade from a feature phone. It features a large 6.53-inch display, offers long backup and comes with 4GB which is decent for the price. However, the performance is not very good, cameras are basic and you get microUSB 2.0 port for charging. Only worth getting if you need a basic phone on a budget.
