Can the Realme 9 Pro+ give the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge to cash in and battle the OnePlus Nord 2?
Realme 9 Pro + 5G and Realme 9 Pro 5G – launching in India this week – are designed to appeal to younger smartphone users, with color-changing backs that can switch from Blue to Red under direct sunlight or ultraviolet light. Plus, it has three rear cameras, one of which has optical image stabilization (OIS). That is very rarely below Rs. 30,000 segments. On top of that, the Realme 9 Pro + 5G has a 90Hz AMOLED display, 60W fast charging, and stereo speakers – all very well under Rs. 30,000 of which phones like Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge and OnePlus Nord 2 mainly dominate the market.
On this week’s Gadgets 360 podcast episode Trajectoryhost Akhil Arora Talk to a Senior Reviewer Sheldon Pinto and Aditya Shenoy to talk about Realme 9 Pro + 5G and Realme 9 Pro 5G – and to understand what Realme 9 Pro + 5G has to offer compared to Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge 5G and OnePlus Nord 2.
Realme 9 Pro+ price in India starts at Rs. 24,999 for the 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant. The phone also comes in an 8GB + 128GB version priced at Rs. 26,999 and the top-end 8GB + 256GB option for Rs. 28,999. On the other hand, the Realme 9 Pro 5G starts at Rs. 17,999 (introductory price) for the 6GB + 128GB model and goes up to Rs. 20,999 for the 8GB + 128GB option.
Both phones feature a “Light Switch Design” specific to their Sunrise Blue color option and are responsible for providing a color-changing back panel. However, it is not worth it if you like to cover your phone with a case. Naturally.
Myself Nor is it the first brand to offer a color-changing back like its sibling Vivo – belongs to the same parent company BBK Electronics – provide the same experience on the released version Vivo V23 Pro 5G last month. That said, it makes both models stand out in terms of design from the competition.
Realme 9 Pro + review: Value for money
The Realme 9 Pro + 5G is also equipped with an upgraded camera setup featuring a 50-megapixel Sony IMX766 main sensor, with an f/1.8 lens. As I said before, the main sensor is also equipped with OIS to provide better stabilization. What’s more, it’s combined with proprietary lightning technology called ProLight Imaging as well as the AI Noise Reduction Engine 3.0, both of which are touted to help deliver an enhanced camera experience – especially in low-light photography. shining.
In addition to the camera side, the Realme 9 Pro + 5G also carries a heart rate sensor in the in-display fingerprint sensor, which is said to be able to help provide heart rate detection and recording. The technology hasn’t been medically approved, although it could help Realme offer some uniqueness over the competition.
However, the feature is not enabled by default as users need to enable it by accessing Realme Labs from the phone. Also, it takes a few seconds to detect your heart rate and isn’t as fast as recognizing your fingerprint.
Realme 9 Pro + 5G, as well as Realme 9 Pro 5G, are also available with Android 12 out-of-the-box, with Realme UI 3.0 on top. The latest version of Android brings a list of software features that you won’t get on the Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge and the OnePlus Nord 2 – since both are running on Android 11. However, both phones are upgradeable to Android 12 in the future.
That said, Realme’s fast charging on the Realme 9 Pro + 5G is not as fast as the massive 120W charging-enabled Xiaomi 11i HyperCharge. However, 60W support is also good – with the appropriateness of Apple and Samsung not exceed 45W on their flagship phones.
We also talk about how the Realme 9 Pro + 5G and Realme 9 Pro 5G perform compared to the included models Vivo T1 5G and Google Pixel 4a. This is to find out if the new Realme phone might be to your liking or if you are looking to buy any of them.
