Unique 3D back, “buffalo” battery and super-fast charging-Hi-tech fashion

Realme 9 4G is the latest member of the Realme 9 series, which has just been introduced to the market.

Design

Realme 9 4G looks quite similar to “elder” Realme 9 Pro, from the layout of the connection ports to the rear camera cluster. However, the back is made of plastic instead of glass. Plastic material will be cheaper than glass or alloy, but in return makes the machine 178g light despite the large battery. Actual experience shows that the Realme 9 4G is still very sturdy, giving a firm, comfortable grip.

Realme 9 4G sunshine gold version is inspired by the brilliant beauty of sunset rays.

On the back, capturing the “gradient and starlight” design concept that has been applied on products of famous brands such as Coca-Cola Starlight or Louis Vuitton Starlight accessory collection,… Realme 9 created exclusive color coating technology to deliver the world’s first vivid wavelength Hologram design with beautiful 3D ripple.

The speaker system is equipped on the bottom edge next to the USB Type-C charging port. In addition, this phone also retains the 3.5mm headphone jack (also on the bottom edge) and the microSD card slot for storage expansion (integrated with the SIM slot on the left edge). In general, these are the basic details on smartphones, in which the 3.5mm port can be very useful for many people.

Screen

Integrated with a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED Full HD + screen, with a 90Hz refresh rate, Realme 9 proves to be quite competitive in the price segment below 7 million. Right in this screen, Realme designed a “mole” in the upper left corner for high aesthetics.

The screen is 6.4 inches wide.

According to the writer’s assessment, this screen has high definition, giving the ability to display images under strong sunlight and still see clearly. Touch manipulation, swiping or when playing games that are not too heavy is quite smooth. Products sold already have a layer of screen protectors to protect the surface of the machine.

Performance

Realme 9 4G is equipped with SoC Snapdragon 680 processor on 6nm process similar to Realme 9i. Thanks to software optimization, this SoC has been more stable than the previous 9i version. The experience of entertainment and social media services, office applications is usually instant or switching between applications is not a problem.

However, the issue of fps drops or slight lag can occur when the CPU and GPU of the Realme 9 4G are pushed to their limits with heavy-duty games like Call of Duty and Asphalt 9. Despite this does not affect the experience of ordinary smartphone users too much, but it is clear that Realme 9 is not a smartphone that is too “buffalo” to fight all games even though it is equipped with up to 8GB of RAM.

After a test of heavy tasks lasting about 1 hour, Realme 9 did not heat up too unusually. This shows the ability of the Realme 9 4G to endure heavy tasks and high temperatures, more or less important when used in the hot season.

Realme 9 4G has decent performance.

The device comes pre-installed with the customized Realme UI 3.0 operating system from Android 12, which comes with a lot of third-party applications. For many people, the bundled apps are handy; But for writers, they often cost writers time to uninstall or disable to ensure a neat and streamlined smartphone before use.

Camera

This is the first smartphone in the world to own a 108MP ProLight camera with a sensor Samsung ISOCELL HM6, integrates 9-in-1 Nonapixel Plus technology to help combine 9 pixels into 1. Interestingly, Snapdragon 680 only supports a maximum resolution of 64MP while the main camera sensor is up to 108MP, so it can be understood that Realme used the built-in algorithm in the camera app to upscale the resolution.

The main camera of Realme 9 4G produces beautiful photos in daylight with colors close to what the human eye actually sees. The image viewed directly on the device is not artificial, but this may not satisfy some users who are used to “flattering” images. As for skin tones, the image reproduces quite well, capable of capturing quite a bit of detail in dark areas.

Cluster of 3 rear cameras up to 108MP.

In addition, the rear camera cluster also has an ultra-wide camera with autofocus up to 9 times more accurate than previous versions and a macro camera for 3X optical zoom. These sensors make the Realme 9 4G more versatile when it comes to capturing a panoramic view of a tourist area or a close-up of a seashell, flower petals, etc.

The battery

With the Realme 9 4G, the battery is definitely a plus! Possessing a 5,000mAh battery, Realme 9 4G can go out with the writer in the morning with 100% energy and multi-tasking, until about 18h there is still about 40% battery left. During use, the phone will automatically optimize battery usage and notify the user of the applications that are consuming a lot of power.

Along with 33W fast charging, Realme announced its smartphone can complete the process of fully charging 100% of the battery in 75 minutes. In the framework of the article, the writer has not had the actual conditions to check the charging time from 0 to 100% according to the “charger” that comes with the device.

In short, at the price of 6.69 million VND, Realme 9 4G is a smartphone worth referring to with a “buffalo” battery, good camera, sharp screen, beautiful and sturdy back. However, the performance only stops at a level quite commensurate with the price, as well as the camera cannot be called too excellent.
