Realme 9i camera

The smartphone is equipped with 50MP primary lens and 2MP secondary depth sensor and 2MP ternary macro sensor. But it has to be said that the rest of the sensors are not as good as the primary lens. It keeps the booting of the Android 12 Realme 9i 5G smartphone smooth and fine. Also, its 5000 mAh battery comes with 18W fast charging capability.

3-lens rear camera

The special thing about Realme 9i 5G is that its exterior has been designed with multi-color reflections like the CDs of the era. Even though it doesn't flash as many colors as a CD, the fact is that this feature brings a whole new experience to the smartphone. In particular, it has made the look of the smartphone a bit better. Another highlight is the 3-lens rear camera. Its flat sides and curved edges make it very easy to handle.

How is the display of Realme 9i 5G?

Notably, the power button to the right of the app is also the fingerprint scanner. On the left are the volume buttons and the SIM card and SD card slots. Also, there is a 3.5mm headphone jack, speaker and microphone at the bottom. The front of the Realme 9i 5G features a 6.6-inch FHD+ 90Hz IPS LCD display. The brightness of the display is pleasing to the eyes but it makes the experience of using the phone in sunlight difficult.

Panda Glass does its job well when used to protect the display. But a higher 90Hz refresh rate would be even better. So in terms of performance, it's not bad enough to complain about, but it's not good enough either. What's more, the Realme 9i 5G smartphone is not made for gaming purpose but it does offer decent experience while playing some light games.

Up to 1TB of storage?

But we did notice some stuttering when playing games with high graphics. Even though it is a budget 5G smartphone device, you do not have to worry about the storage. The reason being that the additional 1TB of storage and 5GB of virtual storage that comes with it is a feature that attracted us even more. There is no doubt that you can make full use of this phone without worrying about the storage.
