Realme has so far introduced the latest budget smartphone series in the Realme 9 series with six phones – although not all of them are available everywhere.
However, the phones offer impressive budget options with a few unique features and surprisingly powerful features, and the company still has much more to come.
Here’s everything you need to know about the Realme 9 series.
When will Realme 9 phones be released?
Realme has introduced Realme 9, 9 5G, 9i, 9 Pro and 9 Pro + in Europe and Asia, and you can buy it now, including in the UK and India. It should be noted that the European and Indian versions of 9 5G actually offer different features, which we will explain later.
Another phone – Realme 9 5G SE – is also available in India, but not elsewhere.
As in previous releases, it seems very difficult for US customers to buy any of the Realme 9 devices other than imports.
Realme has also introduced the Realme GT 2 and GT 2 Pro flagships globally, which are available in similar markets.
How much do Realme 9 phones cost?
So far, the Realme 9 series with six models has a number of prices. To simplify everything, we present starting prices for each phone in the currencies we know so far:
- Realme 9: £249/€279₹17,999
- Realme 9i: £199/€219/₹12,999
- Realme 9 5G: £249/€259/₹14,999
- Realme 9 5G SE: ₹19,999
- Realme 9 Pro: £299/€319/₹17,999
- Realme 9 Pro+: £349/€379/₹24,999

What will be the features and design of Realme 9?
So far, the Realme 9 series includes six models, each of which we will consider separately.
Realme 9
Let’s start with the usual Realme 9, although this is its sixth announcement.

The 90Hz display is an AMOLED with a built-in fingerprint scanner – in this case, it also acts as a heart rate scanner.
The chipset is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680, with up to 8 GB of RAM and 33 W of charging. Inevitably, it is limited to 4G; this is a substitute for better features elsewhere compared to 9 5G.
The camera also sounds impressive. It has a 108Mp main camera equipped with Samsung’s ISOCELL HM6 sensor – previously seen on any Samsung phone – macro and ultra wide.
It is also a very thin phone, only 7.99 mm thick and weighs 178 grams. Available in three colors: Sunburst Gold, Stargaze White and Meteor Black.

Realme 9i
The 9i was the entry-level phone in the series and was the first phone to be announced.

The design of the phone is simple and very simple by Realme’s usual standards – no giant logo or race strip was found. Available in blue or simpler black version above.
The Realme 9i has a Snapdragon 680 chipset combined with 4/6 GB of RAM and 64/128 GB of memory. The screen is a 6.6-inch FHD + IPS LCD that can control the refresh rate from 30 Hz to 90 Hz.
On the side of the camera you get a 16Mp selfie camera and a triple rear camera: 50Mp with dual 2Mp sensor, f/1.8 main camera – one macro, the other monochrome.
Finally, you get a 5000mAh battery with 33W wired charging support. Unpacks Android 11.

Realme 9 5G
There are two different versions of Realme 9 5G to get started: one for Europe and one for India. Let’s look at the European version first.

This phone is actually very different from the usual Realme 9, which reduces all the features in exchange for placing it in 5G without a price increase (in fact, the 5G model is slightly cheaper in some European markets).
The Europe 9 5G features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 with a larger 6.6-inch screen – up to 120Hz update speed, but just an LCD instead of OLED.
Charging is reduced to 18 W, the camera offers a 50Mp lead sensor supported by two 2Mp monochrome and macro sensors.

Realme 9 5G SE
The 9 5G SE, which means “Fast Edition”, is at the top of the range and is actually more powerful (and more expensive) than the 9 Pro.
So far, this is the only phone not sold in Europe.

Equipped with the Snapdragon 778G chipset, the device also has an impressive 144Hz refresh rate, which makes it a popular choice for gaming.
The 48Mp camera is a bit lower than the Pro, so some buyers may choose this phone instead.

Realme 9 Pro
The 9 Pro is more exciting. That starts with the design, which is essentially identical to the 9 Pro+.

This is a heroic color called “Sunrise Blue”, which combines a technology that Realme calls “Light Shift Design”. This is similar to the color-changing glass we saw in the Vivo V23 series this year, in which the blue phone turns red when exposed to sunlight or ultraviolet light, and turns blue when out of light.
In this short introductory video shared by Realme, you can see the color-changing design in action:
The phone is also available in simpler Midnight Black and Aurora Green colors without light switching technology.
Inside, the 9 Pro is equipped with a Snapdragon 695 chipset with up to 8 GB of RAM and 128 GB of memory.
The screen has a 6.6-inch LCD with a refresh rate of 120 Hz, which makes it a very large phone – but it leaves enough space for a 5000 mAh battery and 33 W of charging.
Finally, the rear camera device consists of a 64Mp main lens plus an 8Mp ultra-wide and a third 2Mp lens.
As for the software, the Realme 9 Pro series starts with RealmeUI 3.0 based on Android 12.

Realme 9 Pro Plus
9 Pro + looks similar, but underneath are a few extra bells and whistles. We actually reviewed the 9 Pro +, so if you want to know what we think about the phone, read on.

There are a few key differences from the 9 Pro. The first, strange as it may seem, is a bit small. The screen is only 6.4 inches and at the same time has a refresh rate of 90 Hz – but instead, it’s both an on-screen fingerprint scanner and, oddly enough, an AMOLED panel that offers the ability to use it as a heart rate monitor
Overall, the phone is smaller and lighter as a result of the smaller screen, but this results in a smaller 4500 mAh battery. However, charging is faster at 60 watts.
The 9 Pro + uses a MediaTek Dimensity 920 chipset combined with up to 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of memory.
The triple rear camera is similar, but with a major improvement: the main lens uses a 50Mp Sony IMX766 sensor with optical image stabilization (OIS) – the same setup is used to make a big impact on our current favorite mid-range OnePlus Nord 2. range phone.
