Realme 9 Pro + is a low budget PHONE CAMERA

By now modern smartphones are all very valid and therefore for those who have no particular needs one device is as good as another. But what if we have photographic needs and a low budget? The answer comes from Realme that in this early 2021 has been able to churn out very valid devices, especially the 9 series, to which the Realme 9 Pro + belongs, the top model of the series just mentioned and that today we discover together in this complete review.

Packaging

Iconic is the sales package of the Realme device, in yellow / black color inside which we find a soft semi-transparent silicone cover, a USB Type-C cable, pin for removing the SIM tray, manuals and a power supply with 60W of power. maximum. I also point out that on the smartphone display we find a plastic film already applied by the company.

Design and Materials

Apparently the design of Realme 9 Pro + has nothing exclusive, but if you are lucky enough to win the Sunrise Blue color, you will enjoy a particular and evocative chameleon color effect, able to change color following direct exposure to the rays of the Sun. There are two other colors, namely Aurora Green and Midnight Black, the latter more anonymous but perhaps the one that gives an even more premium appearance to the phone.

The rest of the construction is impeccable, with a metal side frame that accompanies the general lines of the terminal, all for ergonomics and single-handed use that are truly enviable by competitors. We are talking about dimensions equal to 160,2 x 73,3 x 7,99 mm and a weight of only 182 grams, without particular sacrifices.

On the right profile we find the power button while on the left one, the volume rocker and the dual-type SIM cart but without the possibility of memory expansion by means of micro SD. The second microphone is positioned on the upper profile while below we find the main microphone, the beloved 3,5 mm jack for wired earphones, Type-C port with OTG support (no video output) and speaker.

In this regard, the Realme 9 Pro +, has two speakers, where the second is found inside the ear capsule. But be careful, because the returned audio is balanced in volume and power with the main one, giving an immersive sound rich in nuances, able to excite you both for the use of TV series, Movies but also a lot of good gaming, in fact there is support to Dolby ATMOS content.

On the back we have a rectangle-shaped photographic module that also houses an LED flash. Here perhaps a little anti-dirt treatment is missing but poco bad considering that we have a protective cover already present in the package which at the same time will also level the protrusion of the camera block with respect to the body. So where is the fingerprint sensor? We find it below the display, which I found very reliable and accurate but among other things, the new sensor of Realme 9 Pro + is able to measure the heart rate, without wearing a smartwatch, the accuracy of which is as reliable as the most common fitness trackers.

Display

Realme 9 Pro + offers us a beautiful display with 6,43-inch diagonal Super AMOLED technology in Full HD + resolution. We are in the presence of a panel capable of transforming what is displayed on it into emotions, relying on support for Widevine L1 DRMs recognized by every streaming platform but also on support for HDR content. It helps a lot in the good experience the refresh rate that goes to 90 Hz with a touch sampling rate from 360 Hz. The peak brightness is also excellent, which helps in viewing under sunlight.

Going beyond the technical data sheet, I was amazed by the brilliance of the colors, the excellent viewing angles and chromatic depths of the panel. The quality is not at all questioned and in any case at the software level, the Realme UI 3.0 provides further customizations and color calibrations. Also present is the Always On Display, customizable as well as the many possibilities of graphic settings of the home screen and much more. I also point out the excellent O-Haptics function, a tactile feedback system that simulates the feel of real materials for a realistic and engaging writing experience. The display integrates the selfie camera inserted in the side punch hole, while the proximity and brightness sensors work perfectly, integrating fully into the frames that are very contained, giving an elegant and refined appearance.

Hardware and Performance

While not equipping the best hardware around, Realme 9 Pro + fully convinces, because it manages to squeeze every single electrical component, with truly respectable performance. The solution adopted in this smartphone uses the SoC MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G, octa-core CPU clocked at 2.5 GHz and production process at 6 nm, one of the most powerful processors of the MediaTek family which is flanked by the ARM Mali G68 GPU MC4 and 6/8 GB of LPDDR4X RAM flanked by 128 or 256 GB of non-expandable UFS 2.2 internal memory. There is also the possibility to dynamically expand the RAM memory up to an additional 5GB.

In fact, I have not felt at all the lack of having the latest Qualcomm processor on board, especially in terms of temperature management, here put at bay by a vapor chamber cooling system. In all the uses we can make of this Realme 9 Pro +, the user experience has always turned out to be beyond expectations, overall reliable and performing.

The quality of the graphic details with which the most defined games are performed, such as COD and / or Asphalt 9, are above average, so much so that we can push ourselves to higher values, without putting the smartphone in crisis. Not a gaming phone but in terms of performance it is very close to what is offered by the top of the range. Then there is the NFC sensor for contactless payments, compatibility with Bluetooth 5.2, Wi-Fi 6 and, of course, the 5G Dual SA / NSA network. In this regard, the reception and navigation speed are excellent, while the only "drawback" is the GPS which does not lock onto Galileo-type satellites, but which I have always found stable and fast in fixing the signal.

Software

Realme 9 Pro + is definitely in step with the times, relying on the version of Android 12 with patch of April 2022 customized by the Realme UI 3.0 graphic interface. A complete ROM both in general customization and in the functions offered, a rival of Xiaomi's MIUI, but with a stability and absence of bugs to make the counterpart envious. The system is always fluid and there is no lack of interesting goodies such as the possibility of having multiple users on the system, the cloning of apps and the very well optimized children's space.

Autonomy

Judging by the Realme 4500 Pro + 's 9mAh battery alone, one might be a little wary. Wrong thing, because the smartphone software is ultra-optimized so much that in everyday use I was able to see an autonomy able to take me without problems quietly in the evening, with my use not really as an ordinary user. Of course, if you usually play a lot, then the actual duration could drop to peak, but don't worry because fast charging up to 60W is supported with the SuperDart Charge standard which ensures very short charge times, equal to 30 minutes for a full one from 0. at 100% and only 15 minutes for about 50/55%.

Camera

The true essence of this smartphone is undoubtedly the photographic sector, nothing innovative in terms of technical specifications, but revolutionary in consideration of the price positioning of the device. Realme 9 Pro + in fact offers as its main sensor a 766 MP Sony IMX50 equipped with OIS and focal aperture f / 1.8. All this is then accompanied by an 8 megapixel ƒ / 2.2 wide-angle camera and a 2 megapixel ƒ / 2.4 for macro photography, while the selfie camera relies on a 16 MP f / 2.4 sensor.

The result of these specifications is decidedly above average, with photos rich in detail, well-exposed colors and general sharpness, even in low light conditions, where Realme 9 Pro + does much better than the competition. The main lens of 50 MP, manages the backlight well and balances the various chromatic tones well. Focus and shutter speed are also excellent. We definitely notice the presence of an optical stabilization that adds details and quality even to the shots obtained by means of the 2X zoom. On the negative side, I only point out that the bokeh effect seems a bit too forced and in some cases it is poco precise in detail.

Videos can be recorded in 4K from the main camera at 30 fps, but it is not possible to switch between lenses once recording has started. However, the brand's inclusion of an iPhone "Cinema" style recording mode, but with only HD 720p resolution, is appreciable: unfortunately the tracking of people and objects is not very precise, as it is not on iPhone. The selfie camera is subdued compared to the performance of the rest of the photographic sector, but overall the shots and videos obtained from this unit are more than satisfactory for use with various social networks and more.

Conclusions

Realme 9 Pro + was a pleasant discovery, but still a confirmation of the brand, which for some time now has been giving a hard time to many, perhaps too many rivals in the sector. This device is the essence of how smartphones should be built and optimized.

The display is beautiful, performance comparable to high-end terminals, a super fast recharge and relative autonomy able to satisfy the most common needs and then a super photographic and video yield of a level higher than expectations. Without beating around the bush, Realme 9 Pro + is the smartphone I would like, the one I really recommend, the one that will be hard to beat in this 2022.
