Realme 9

The Realme 9 is an affordable handset offering a good main camera, strong battery life and a nice screen.

Great screen ; Excellent battery life ; Very good main camera

No 5G ; Middling performance

An affordable handset offering a good main camera, strong battery life and a nice screen. It doesn’t come with 5G connectivity, and performance levels aren’t blistering, but it’s still a great-value buy.

Realme 9 5G

The Realme 9 5G offers great performance for the price, and boasts decent battery life, too. You can get better cameras or faster charging elsewhere, but

Great performance for the price ; Reliable battery life ; Decent main camera

Camera system isn’t versatile ; LCD screen, rather than OLED

The Realme 9 5G offers great performance for the price, and boasts decent battery life, too. You can get better cameras or faster charging elsewhere, but it’s still a nice package all in all.

Realme 9 5G review: Better connectivity, but at what cost?

The Realme 9 5G offers great performance and connectivity, but it struggles against the 4G variant

Impressive battery life ; Affordable 5G ; Solid performance

4G model has a much better screen ; And a better camera ; And better fast charging

Realme has shot itself in the foot with its release strategy, since all of the 9 5G’s failings can be directly linked back to the 4G model . The latter’s superior screen, cameras and fast charging all hang heavy over the Realme 9 5G, calling to...

Realme 9 review: Feature-packed but no 5G

A whole lot of phone for not much cash - but the Realme 9 may not be for you if you need speedy mobile data

Punchy, smooth screen ; Loads or storage and RAM ; Excellent battery life

Poor gaming performance ; No 5G connectivity ; Mediocre low-light camera

Great for movies and day to day tasks, but gamers can get more for less

Realme 9 review

Sticking at 4G means the Realme 9 is a better all-rounder than its 5G counterpart, but it'll need to do more to knock Xiaomi off its budget phone perch.

Impressive 90Hz OLED display ; Excellent battery life ; Solid main and selfie cameras ; Premium look and feel

Sluggish performance at times ; Terrible in-display fingerprint sensor ; Software not for everyone

An impressive display, battery life and cameras make the Realme 9 a solid budget option. But if great performance is a priority for you, your money will be better spent elsewhere.

realme 9 4G Review Philippines: In a Tight Spot

We review the realme 9 4G, the latest offering from the brand in the Philippines. Is it a good deal over other realme 9 phones?

90hz AMOLED display ; Main camera takes great photos ; Decent ultra-wide-angle camera

No 4K video recording ; Expensive for a Snapdragon 680 phone ; Priced too close to the realme 9 Pro

Realme 9 review

The Realme 9 series this year has quite a few family members. We have a 4G and 5G version of the vanilla option, we have a 9i as well as two Pro flavors....

Bright enough 90Hz OLED.

No NFC and 5G connectivity.

However, the lack of NFC, 5G connectivity and the underpowered Snapdragon 680 will most likely steer away some potential buyers, and the competition can accommodate those needs while matching the Realme 9 4G's feature set and adding a set of stereo...
