Today we take a look at the new Realme 9 5G, which the company has launched as an all-rounder budget phone. But is it really an all-rounder phone in the budget in 2022?

The price of 8GB RAM and 128GB storage variant of this phone is Rs 22,999.

As the name suggests, this is a phone with 5G connectivity. This is a big deal in itself as it is one of the few phones with 5G connectivity in the range of around Rs 15,000. 5G network is expected to be launched in India by the end of the year. But will you have to compromise on some other features in this phone in exchange for 5G? Let’s find out.

In Realme 9 5G, you get a 6.5-inch FHD + display, which has a refresh rate of 90Hz. It has a MediaTek Dimensity 810 SoC, which supports 5G. The phone has a 5000mAh battery, but the charging speed is limited to 18W. The charger found in the phone box is quite large. In the phone, you will also get Wi-Fi AC, Bluetooth 5.1 along with the usual location services.

Realme 9 Speed ​​Edition Compared to the , the main specifications of the phone are slightly lighter, but their camera configuration is the same. The phone has a 48-megapixel primary camera and a 2-megapixel macro camera. Apart from this, there is another camera, which the company calls a black and white portrait lens. You will not get an ultrawide camera in it, which you may find disappointing. A 16-megapixel camera has been provided in the front for selfies.

The body of Realme 9 5G is made of plastic. The build quality of the phone is good but it does not impress as much as it did at first. Unlike the previous models, this time there is no attention-grabbing element in the rear panel. The phone can be purchased in Stargaze White and Meteor Black colors. I have got its Stargaze White variant, which seems to spread light pink and yellow shades at some angles. Meteor Black is plain and simple. The thickness of the phone is 8.5mm and its weight is 188 grams.

The phone is easy to hold. The power button is also easy to reach and the fingerprint scanner is also given in it. The SIM tray (Nano SIM) is given on the left side along with the microSD card slot. The volume buttons are also given on this side. The bottom of the phone includes USB Type C port, 3.5mm jack and speaker.

Realme 9 5G will not be able to attract you with its design. The phone also does not have such special specifications that it can become a priority for people. If you are one of those who do not pay attention to gaming and photo quality and use the phone with some apps on a daily basis, then this is a very powerful phone for you. However, I will do a full review of it for its performance, camera, software, battery life, display etc. Till then stay tuned to Gadgets 360.
