At the same time, the price of its 6GB RAM and 128 GB storage variant is Rs 17,499. An instant discount of Rs 1,500 is also being given to customers purchasing it through SBI and ICICI Bank cards. The sale of the phone has started from March 14. At the same time, its powerful version Realme 9 5G Speed Edition is priced at Rs 19,999 in India, in which it comes with 6GB RAM and 128 GB storage variant. The price of 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant of this phone is Rs 22,999.
As its name also suggests, this is a phone with 5G connectivity. This is a big deal in itself because it is one of the few phones with 5G connectivity in the range of around Rs 15,000. 5G network is expected to be launched in India by the end of the year. But in exchange for 5G, won’t you have to compromise on some other features inside this phone? Let us know.
In Realme 9 5G, you get a 6.5-inch FHD+ display, whose refresh rate is 90Hz. It has MediaTek Dimensity 810 SoC, which supports 5G. The phone has a 5000mAh battery, but the charging speed is limited to 18W. The charger found in the phone box is quite big. You will also get general location services along with Wi-Fi AC, Bluetooth 5.1 in the phone.
Realme 9 Speed Edition In comparison, the main specifications of the phone are a bit lighter, but their camera configuration is the same. The phone has a 48-megapixel primary camera and a 2-megapixel macro camera. Apart from this, there is another camera, which the company calls Black and White Portrait Lens. You will not get an ultra-wide camera in this, which you may find disappointing. A 16-megapixel camera is provided in the front for selfie.
The body of Realme 9 5G is made of plastic. The build quality of the phone is good but does not impress so much for the first time. Like the previous models, this time there is no attention-grabbing element in the rear panel. The phone can be purchased in Stargaze White and Meteor Black colors. I have got its Stargaze White variant, which appears to emit light pink and yellow hues at certain angles. Meteor Black is plain and simple. The thickness of the phone is 8.5mm and weight is 188 grams.
The phone is easy to hold. Access to the power button is also easy and a fingerprint scanner is also provided in it. SIM tray (Nano SIM) is provided with microSD card slot on the left side. Volume buttons are also provided on this side. The bottom of the phone includes USB Type C port, 3.5mm jack and speaker.
Realme 9 5G will not attract you with its design. The phone does not have such special specifications that it can become a priority for people. If you are one of those people who do not pay attention to gaming and photo quality and use the phone with some apps on daily basis, then this is a very powerful phone for you. However, I will give it a full review for its performance, camera, software, battery life, display etc. Till then stay with Gadgets 360.
