The Realme 9 Pro is the more affordable member of the new duo, but it outdoes its more premium sibling in certain aspects. The screen here has a bigger diagonal at 6.6”, and a higher 120Hz refresh rate, but the panel is LCD, meaning the fingerprint scanner made its way on the side, under the power key. The chipset here is a Snapdragon 695 by Qualcomm, and it still supports 5G connectivity. The platform is coupled with 6GB or 8GB RAM, and a single 128GB storage option.
The triple camera setup on the back has a
64MP main shooter, an 8MP ultrawide one and a 2MP macro camera. The selfie
camera has the same 16MP sensor. Since the Realme 9 Pro is bigger than a Pro+
it also fits a larger battery - 5,000 mAh. It charges at a relatively tame 33W,
but you still get the required charger in the retail box. Just like its bigger
brother, the Realme 9 Pro ships with Android 12 and Realme UI 3.0.
Realme 9 Pro is also arriving in Blue,
Green, and Black colors. Prices are INR 17,999 (US$ 240) for the 6/128 GB variant
or INR 20,999 (US$ 280) for the 8/128 GB option. Sale begins on February 23, 12 PM
IST on Flipkart, Realme.com and "stores near you".
