The Realme 9 Pro+ comes with a 6.43” AMOLED of Full HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. It has a fingerprint scanner underneath that can also measure your heart rate. The chipset is a Dimensity 920 with 5G capabilities and is one of the more powerful in the midrange segment. It is coupled with 6GB or 8GB RAM, and 128GB or 256GB storage.
The highlight of the Realme 9 Pro+ is its
triple camera with a 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor behind an f/1.8 lens. It is the
very same sensor found in some flagship smartphones like the Oppo Find X3 Pro
and the company’s own Realme GT 2 Pro. The other two cameras are an 8MP f/2.2
ultrawide-angle shooter and a 2MP f/2.4 macro unit. The selfie camera, tucked
in the punch hole in the upper left corner of the screen, has a 16MP sensor.
The Realme 9 Pro+ arrives in three colors,
but the most intriguing is the Sunrise Blue. It has a photochromic layer that
changes from blue to a pinkish-red hue in a matter of seconds when exposed to
sunlight or UV light. It needs just 3 seconds to make the switch and will fade
away and return to blue in about 5 minutes.
The 4,500mAh supports 60W SuperDart
charging, and while it may sound slower than the 65W of the Realme 7 Pro it
actually throttles less and achieves a full charge in 45 minutes, which is 2
minutes quicker. The Realme 9 Pro+ is arriving with Android 12 out of the box
with Realme UI 3.0 on top. Color options of the Realme 9 Pro+ are Sunrise Blue,
Aurora Green, or Midnight Black. Prices begin from INR 24,999 (US$ 335) for the 6/128
GB, go to INR 26,999 (US$ 360) for the 8/128 GB, while the most expensive 8/256 GB
memory variant is INR 28,999 (US$ 385). Users can get lower the price down to 70%
of the original cost through a Flipkart-only trade-in program.
First sale is scheduled for February 21 at
12 PM IST, and the phone will also be available at Realme's own website and
some offline stores.
