It’s not rated for dust and splash protection, but it’s certainly splashproof. It has an optical fast fingerprint sensor, conveniently placed under the screen. It has a loud playing media and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
Performance
The Realme 9 brings in the heat with the midrange Snapdragon 680 chipset, making it very quiet and fast, even when gaming. It has a Kyro Octa-core CPU paired with an Adreno 610 GPU, with storage options of 6/8GB for RAM & 128 GB for ROM. It also does come with an expandable memory option, which is a plus. Paired with the 90Hz AMOLED screen, running the latest Android 12 with a Realme UI 3.0 skin on top, the performance feels fast and premium. No lags or slow transitions on this one. Everything feels fast, fluid, and rich in color.
Cameras
The Realme 9 has a triple camera arrangement on the back. It comes with a huge 108 MP primary sensor, for those excellent daylight photos. There is an 8MP ultra-wide sensor with a 120 ˚ FOV for those awesome wide-angle shots. It also has a 2MP macro telephoto lens for those nice, close-up photos. The video can support up to 1080p video at 30 fps, with HDR support & gyro-EIS stability assistance. The selfie camera is a generous 16MP wide sensor, capable of 1080p video at 30fps. The selfies are great and well-lit.
Other features
The Realme 9 comes with 33W fast charging, which can get the phone fully charged in a little over an hour (75 mins). In addition to the fact that it also comes with a Li-Po 5000mAh non-removable battery, which is rather generous, the phone offers great screen time, enough to last past a day. Even with the high refresh rate screen, this should be more than enough. The main concession would be that there is no wireless charging here. It also supports NFC for contactless paying. It comes in Black, Gold, and White.
Similarly, priced phones would include Huawei Nova Y70, Infinix Note 11, Xiaomi Redmi Note 11, and the Samsung Galaxy A13. The main talking points would be the premium design, AMOLED screen, and fast charging. Add the huge battery and huge storage and you have a great contender for a well-priced midrange.
For the price, it’s a great device. It brings together all that makes a great phone spec-wise, while still retaining a competitive price, huge camera lenses, and a very forward-leaning design. All in all, there is absolutely nothing that was overly compromised.
