Alongside the today’s announcement of the Realme 9 Pro, the company also launched the Realme 9 Pro+. Both devices come with powerful midrange chipsets, big batteries and rapid charging, and the Plus comes with a large-sensor 50MP main camera.
Realme 9 Pro+
The Realme 9 Pro+ features a 6.43” AMOLED of Full HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. It has a fingerprint scanner underneath that can also measure your heart rate.
The chipset is a Dimensity 920 with 5G capabilities and is one of the more powerful in the midrange segment. It is coupled with 6GB or 8GB RAM, and 128GB or 256GB storage.
The highlight of the Realme 9 Pro+ is its triple camera with a 50MP Sony IMX766 sensor behind an f/1.8 lens. It is the very same sensor found in some flagship smartphones like the Oppo Find X3 Pro and the company’s own Realme GT 2 Pro. The other two cameras are an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide-angle shooter and a 2MP f/2.4 macro unit.
The selfie camera, tucked in the punch hole in the upper left corner of the screen, has a 16MP sensor.
The Realme 9 Pro+ arrives in three colors, but the most intriguing is the Sunrise Blue. It has a photochromic layer that changes from blue to a pinkish-red hue in a matter of seconds when exposed to sunlight or UV light. It needs just 3 seconds to make the switch and will fade away and return to blue in about 5 minutes.
The 4,500mAh supports 60W SuperDart charging, and while it may sound slower than the 65W of the Realme 7 Pro it actually throttles less and achieves a full charge in 45 minutes, which is 2 minutes quicker. The Realme 9 Pro+ is arriving with Android 12 out of the box with Realme UI 3.0 on top.
