Editorial report

Realme 9i 5G technical sheet

The Realme 9i 5G suits buyers looking for a 5G phone with a large display and high pixel density, rather than a high refresh rate or a large main-camera sensor. This configuration has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 6 GB / 128 GB. Its 6.6″ IPS LCD display has a 1080 × 2408 px resolution and 400 ppi density, higher than that of most phones launched around the same time. Its 90 Hz refresh rate, however, is lower than that of most phones of its time.

At 187 g and 8.1 mm thick, it is lighter and thinner than most phones from the same period. The main camera has 50 MP, but its 1/2.76″ sensor is among the smallest of its time, and the phone lacks optical image stabilization. It also has 2 MP macro and depth cameras. The 5,000 mAh battery supports 18 W charging; both are typical figures for phones of its time. Performance and connectivity are typical overall, with the Dimensity 810 joined by 5G, dual SIM and Wi-Fi 5.

With an overall NeoScore of 5.0, the Realme 9i 5G is a balanced choice for buyers who prioritize a high-density display and a relatively light phone, and can accept its refresh-rate and camera-sensor limitations.
