Editorial report

realme 9 8 GB / 128 GB / India technical sheet

The realme 9 suits anyone looking for a sharp AMOLED display and a high-resolution camera in a 4G phone. Its clearest trade-off is the display refresh rate: 90 Hz is lower than on most phones launched around the same time. On the plus side, its 411 ppi is among the highest pixel densities, while its 178 g weight and 8 mm thickness are lower than those of most phones of its time. The display measures 6.4 inches, has 1080 × 2400 px resolution, and includes Always-On Display.

The camera’s 108 MP resolution is among the highest of its time, and its f/1.75 aperture is brighter than that of most phones launched around the same time. It has no optical image stabilization. The Snapdragon 680, 6 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of storage in this version make up a typical hardware configuration; the realme 9 is also sold with 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. It runs Android 12.

The 5000 mAh battery supports 33 W charging. NFC, Bluetooth 5.1, dual Nano-SIM, and a 3.5 mm audio jack round out the useful details. Overall, the realme 9 is typical of phones launched around the same time. Its 5.8 NeoScore makes it a balanced choice for anyone prioritizing a high-density display, a relatively light body, and a 108 MP camera, while accepting the 90 Hz refresh rate.
