Redmi Note 9T (with Fingerprint & AL ace recognition)

[chip*]

Hi,

I wish to draw on the collective knowledge from this sub-forum again!

Background: Until recently, I use a cheap £60 Xiaomi phone for my oversea banking transactions, mainly to generate the Mobile tokens via the banking app for processing online transfers and payments. As the app is due to expire 31/3, I upgraded to the new version and subsequently discovered the Mobile Token can only be access via biometric authentication which isn't a feature on my cheap phone! Here's the twist, my banking app only works on a restricted list of phone manufacturers e.g. Nokia, Google, HTC, Xiaomi, LG, Samsung, Asus, HTC, Vivo (android 6.0 and above) and iPhone (iOS 11 and above).

My initial research for a new phone with ideally both facial recognition and fingerprint ID points to Redmi Note 9T 4GB+ 64GB @ £199:

In view of the restricted phone manufacturers and biometric requirements, are there any other alternative phones to consider at the £200 budget mark?

EDIT: Subject heading should read "Redmi Note 9T (with Fingerprint & AL Face recognition)"

You could have a look on the gsmarena phone finder site.

Not sure if the link below shows, but there's 23 options when I search around your requirements.

Just to close out my thread, I used the useful search link above and eventually bought the Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC for £159. Just set up the phone (with fingerprint id to activate my banking app), and I have to say the display is pretty impressive and scrolling/switching between apps is way quicker than my main phone (Motorola G7)! For a budget phone, the Poco X3 has exceeded my expectations.
