In a movie-like virtual launch event (OnePlus isn’t the only one!) today, Realme has introduced the Realme 9i, marking the entry of its Realme 9 series in India. The smartphone, which recently made its debut in Vietnam, is the company’s first affordable offering in India in 2022. It comes with attractive features such as 50MP cameras, 33W fast charging, and more. Have a look at the details.
The Realme 9i shifts away from the form factor of the Realme 8 series and inches closer towards the Realme GT series design. It looks a lot like the Realme GT Neo 2 and carries a rectangular camera hump with big camera housings placed on a textured back panel, along with a corner-placed punch-hole in the display.
It comes with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. This supports expandable storage and the DRE technology for expandable RAM up to 5GB, making it a total of 11GB of RAM.
Additional details include Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, dual-SIM, USB Type-C port, a 3.5mm audio jack, GPS, dual stereo speakers, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and more.
The Realme 9i comes in two RAM+ storage variants and both of them fall in the budget sub-Rs 16,000 price segment. It competes with the likes of the Redmi Note 11T 5G, the Vivo Y21T, and more. Here are the prices:
The Realme 9i will be available to buy as part of its first sale on January 25 via Flipkart, Realme.in, and offline retail stores too. However, it will also be up for grabs as part of an early sale on January 22 via the company’s website and Flipkart.
