Multiple users reported significant lag, freezing, buggy behavior, and apps restarting or closing unexpectedly when minimized, particularly on the NFC variant and lower-RAM units.

One user cited the lack of a compass as a major drawback, while others noted their third rear camera appears to be a non-functional dummy or plastic spot rather than a real sensor.

@visualcomms

And it doesn't have a compass. That's a major drawback for me blaunch

Redmi 9C: I'm from Argentina and it cost me 30k including the phone, shipping and the case (the glass is from a G9 Play for 150$) so it cost me a bit more due to shipping and getting the case. It's a budget phone and you can tell from the camera, the low speaker volume, the low microphone volume in videos, it takes time to load heavy games (for example Brawl Stars sometimes takes time to load and the 10 watt charger takes a bit more than two hours from 0% to 100% and that's all the bad things I could find after, the good thing is that despite its Mediatek processor it runs all apps normally smoothly (rarely stutters in heavy apps like PicsArt and heavy games) it takes photos quickly and has a night mode that improves it a bit BUT Gcam takes it to an almost decent level so as for cameras it goes well more or less, it's a \"big\" phone (standard by today's standards) and its large screen with 720P I would say didn't affect me, I consume a lot of YouTube and series, but it wasn't a big problem, the battery is good I use 10% in 1 hour of screen time and I use it from when I wake up in the morning until I go to sleep and I go to bed with a percentage from at least 16% (heavy use) and 24% (light use) and it's around 10 hours of screen time. Games I tested: Clash Royale, Brawl Stars, Minecraft, Pokémon Go, Free Fire, COD, Plato, the one that looks like LoL but for mobile XD.launch

Users with the 3GB RAM variant found performance and battery handling lacking, and one questioned whether 2GB RAM would even allow downloading and using common apps like WhatsApp and Instagram.

@superidol4670

I got the 3G ram one and tbh it also pretty low for it's performance especially the battery and the system seems like linux for pc's... Very well done xiaomilaunch

I used redmi 9A for 3 months and it was very slow. Couldn't download apps like watsap, Instagram and YouTube. I was using the web version of those apps . Please what's your take on 9c, will I be able to download these apps and also enjoy full functionality of this phone? Pls 🙏 replylaunch

Some users described camera quality as poor and worsening over time, and another called the camera samples unimpressive, though not terrible for the price point.

@xorkatoss

The 720p display resolution is mentioned as a limitation of the phone, though one user said it didn't significantly affect their YouTube and series watching experience.

@rishimakhanlal8905

I consider this a small upgrade from my Moto G4 (apart from the 720p screen). Does it use the same camera system found in the Redmi 9/prime?launch

One detailed review specifically flagged low speaker volume and low microphone volume during video recording as drawbacks of the budget device.

One user paid for a non-original replacement LCD that didn't work well; the repairman warned it might fall out and taped it, and the screen ultimately went completely black.

@wilhelminasalzar4224
