Realme has unveiled the Realme 9 Pro and Realme 9 Pro Plus, two new phones that sit at the pinnacle of the company’s wildly successful mid-range numbering line. Last year, we examined the Realme 8 Pro and found it to be one of the greatest value phones on the market — with the exception of the United States, where Realme doesn’t have a presence.
The two new 9 Pro phones are significant improvements over the 8 Pro. The physical design is completely unique, combining thin flat sides with a curved back panel that incorporates a photochromic material that changes colour when exposed to sunlight, at least on the “sunrise blue” edition.

If you take the phone outside on a good sunny day, it will quickly turn from blue to a reddish tint. Vivo, which is owned by the same BBK as Realme, released a phone earlier this year with a similar effect.
The 50-megapixel primary camera on the Realme 9 Pro Plus boasts optical image stabilization and employs the same Sony IMX766 sensor featured in certain BBK flagship phones from last year, like as the OnePlus 9 Pro and the Oppo Find X3 Pro. It’s a big 1/1.56″ sensor with 2.0m pixels, although its efficiency will be influenced by Realme’s software tweaking.
A 119-degree ultrawide and a macro lens support the main cameras; the non-Plus 9 Pro’s main camera features an undisclosed 64-megapixel sensor that lacks OIS and is probably physically smaller.
Because the Plus isn’t particularly better across the board, the spec differences between the 9 Pro and the 9 Pro Plus are unique. The 9 Pro Plus features a 90Hz OLED display, a MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor, and a 4,500mAh battery with 60W rapid charging.
In contrast, the 9 Pro features a 120Hz LCD, Snapdragon 695 processor, and a 5,000mAh battery with 33W rapid charging. The OLED screen of the 9 Pro Plus, along with an in-display fingerprint sensor, distinguishes it as the more flagship-like handset.
Realme has yet to announce price or a release date for the 9 Pro and 9 Pro Plus. India and Europe are anticipated to be among the first areas where the phone will be available.
