Realme launched the Realme 9i in January with the Snapdragon 680 SoC, and seven months later, the company is all set to unveil its 5G variant. The Realme 9i 5G will be introduced on August 18 at an event in India which will begin at 11:30AM local time.
Realme is promoting the 9i 5G as "The
5G Rockstar" and shared a poster revealing its design and specs. The
smartphone will be powered by the Dimensity 810 chip and have triple cameras on
the back panel flaunting Laser Light Design.
However, unlike its 4G counterpart, the
Realme 9i 5G's rear cameras aren't placed inside a camera island, and due to
the flat design, these appear to be protruding more. The image also confirms
the presence of a power button on the 9i 5G's right-side frame, which will
double up as a fingerprint scanner.
Realme's Madhav Sheth recently told us
that the company will launch a 5G smartphone in India in the INR 10,000
(US$ 126/€ 123) to INR 15,000 (US$ 190/€ 185) category, and it's unclear if he was
referring to the Realme 9i 5G or another phone. For reference, the 9i 4G
currently starts at INR 13,499 (US$ 170/€ 165) and goes up to INR 15,999 (US$ 202/€ 197).
You can expect to hear more about the
Realme 9i 5G in the days leading to the launch event.
