Our Take
Looking at the specification we think Redmi 9i Prime leaves behind both the other smartphones under the same budget segment. It has all the necessary features that include a better camera set up, fast processor apt for gaming, multitasker, a full HD display and a larger battery. So, we would recommend you to go for 9i Prime. But if you are looking for a cheaper option then go for Redmi 9A as it offers similar specs as of 9i at a lower rate.
