The ‘Portrait’ mode offers nice portraits featuring smart edge detection with efficient sharpness. You can enhance the zooming option up to 10 times. However, it can dishearten many Xiaomi fans, as the competitor Realme 6 pro is offering about 30x zooming power.

The main rear camera is accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide lens featuring a 2.2-inch aperture. In low light conditions, the captures may not impress you. But in ample light situation, the secondary camera can shoot nice photos, with good sharpness and nice detailing like any other 8MP wide lens camera.

On the front side, Redmi Note 9 Pro Max holds a 30MP selfie camera which mounts over the 16MP front shooter of its ‘Pro’ version. The photos feature an imposed softness even if you turn off the ‘Beauty’ mode. The photo quality may lack the exact detailing and sharpness, but the ‘Portrait’ mode works fine.

Its ‘Vlog’ mode is no less than a windfall for the vloggers, YouTubers, or Instagram influencers who are looking for a professional device under budget price. Using the front camera you can record a 30fps video. Furthermore, it can shoot a slow-motion video at 120fps.
