Moreover, if you expect gaming on these phones I suggest you to choose Redmi Note 9 Pro because it has Qualcomm Adreno 618 which is proved to perform twice as better as the performance of ARM Mali-G72 MP3.
Talking about UI and operating system, Redmi Note 9 Pro comes with MIUI 11 and Samsung Galaxy M31 runs on One UI 2.0. Although many people claim that One UI 2.0 is smoother than MIUI 11, we got a completely different result in our comparison. Both of the UI had some minor lags but MIUI 11 was totally free from screen freeze whereas after a long gaming session One UI 2.0 gave us frequent screen freeze and lags.
The camera is the department where Samsung Galaxy M31 shines because of its better combination of sensors and cameras. Samsung Galaxy M31 is able to produce images with better clarity, depth of field, and upload ready images. Moreover, to powder this powerful, yet productive Galaxy M31 you get a battery of 6000 mAh which certainly stores more juice than Redmi Note 9 Pro’s 5020 mAh battery.
