Think the budget is around $250?

Cos I think her usage consider quite light.. Maybe just need a good battery to last for her light gaming sessions and a not too slow processor so things won't be too lag

Should be not much multitasking

Better get from xiaomi official store, when the difference is only few ten dollars but saving you potential stress and headache. :o With shopee vouchers and promo, price gap can only be smaller. :o

note 9s snapdragon 720g is about 40% faster than note 9 mediatek g85. However having used note 9 it is not slow and battery life can last 2 days.

9s and 9 pro is just nfc
