The realme 9, the standard variant from the phone brand’s 9 series, is now slated to launch in Malaysia later this month. It is the latest entry to the family, arriving months after the realme 9i, 9 Pro and Pro+, as well as the 9 SE.
Unlike its siblings (but much like its predecessor), the standard model is the only device from realme’s numbered series to feature a 108MP primary shooter. And in the realme 9’s case, it is the first smartphone in the market to feature the latest of which: the Samsung ISOCELL HM6 sensor. Alongside it, the phone’s rear camera array also comes with an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro sensor.
Using its Indian release as reference, the realme 9 sports a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display which features 1080 x 2400 pixel resolution, 90Hz refresh rate, Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, and a 16MP selfie camera housed in a tiny cutout on its upper left corner. Under its hood is a 4G-enabled Snapdragon 680 chipset, paired together with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 internal storage.
Besides that, the phone also comes with an under-display fingerprint sensor, Bluetooth 5.1 connectivity, dual nano SIM support, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and Android 12 out of the box via realme UI 3.0. Meanwhile, powering the phone is a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging support through USB-C.
The realme 9 is set to launch in Malaysia next week on 20 April 2022, where its pricing and availability is expected to be announced by then. For your reference, the mid-range phone debuted in India at a starting price of INR 17,999, which is roughly equivalent to RM 1,000 or so. As for colour options, the device is offered in Sunburst Gold, Stargaze White, and Meteor Black.
