So the first device to be launched this year 2021 for Redmi is the Redmi 9T series, this is just one of 2 that was released early this year and definitely its a budget series.

Design
It is by no brainer it is almost a carbon copy of the Poco M3, except that the camera module is back to the way it was, just the camera bump not a whole cover like what we saw on the M3.
After taking a quick phone tour, yeah it was almost alike alright, but what I like on this one is the generous Redmi Logo being engraved at the back, it kinda looks cool, but I miss the semi synthetic leather feel on the back of the Poco M3.
Now among the 4 colors available, my personaly favorite is the Tropical Blue. Whats your pick?
Sample Photos:
Okay judging from the photos and remembering the experience I had with the Poco M3, I can say that this phone takes the photo slightly faster than the M3 and somehow it looks a little more better and decent. Especially outdoors it looks pretty nice, the colors are really very sharp and nice.
Verdict
Now comparing to the Poco M3, this one is a lot better, not only it has a better cam, the UI experience was a lot better and less lag.
