Editor Rating
3.7/5

Realme 9i 5G is one of the more affordable smartphones on offer from the brand, which features 5G connectivity thanks to a new and faster MediaTek processor. The device features a plastic unibody design that follows the 2.5D curved flat aesthetic that is popular in this series. The plain back panel has been finished using a laser light design that embeds sparkly bits across the back that resemble the look of old-school CD disc panels. This finish really makes the colours pop off and sparkle while also changing shades as you move it under sunlight.

Bottom Line

Realme 9i 5G is a nice and affordable smartphone that offers 5G connectivity, a great display and processor, decent cameras, and a large battery. Unfortunately, the charge is pretty basic and there is no wireless charging at all.
