Editorial report

Realme 9i 4 GB / 64 GB / Americas technical sheet

The Realme 9i suits buyers looking for an Android phone with a large, detailed display, but its camera overall ranks worse than most phones of its time. The 6.6-inch IPS LCD display has a 1080 × 2412 px resolution, 400 ppi density, and a 90 Hz refresh rate. Its 480-nit peak brightness is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. The phone weighs 190 g.

This version pairs a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of expandable storage. The Realme 9i is also sold in 4 GB / 128 GB and 6 GB / 128 GB configurations. Its 50 MP main camera uses a 1/2.76-inch sensor, smaller than those in most phones of its time. The macro camera is 2 MP and the front camera is 16 MP; both record video at 1080p and 30 fps.

The 5000 mAh battery supports 33 W charging. Other features include stereo speakers, NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack, Dual Nano-SIM, and Android 11. Overall, the Realme 9i is a fit for buyers who prioritize a large display and a battery with typical capacity, and can accept a camera that ranks worse than most phones of its time. Its overall NeoScore is 4.9.
