Realme has introduced the Realme 9 Professional and Professional Plus, two new telephones that now sit on the prime of its extraordinarily standard mid-range numbered collection. We reviewed the 8 Professional final 12 months and located it to be the most effective worth telephones out there anyplace — besides the US, after all, the place Realme doesn’t have a presence.
The 2 new 9 Professional telephones are large upgrades on the 8 Professional. The bodily design is all new, combining skinny flat sides with a curved again panel that, no less than on the “dawn blue” mannequin, makes use of a photochromic layer that adjustments coloration beneath publicity to daylight. Take the telephone exterior on a fairly sunny day and it’ll change from blue to a reddish tint in a matter of seconds. Vivo, which shares the identical BBK possession as Realme, launched a telephone with an analogous impact earlier this 12 months.
The headline characteristic on the 9 Professional Plus is its 50-megapixel major digicam, which has optical picture stabilization and makes use of the identical Sony IMX766 sensor present in some BBK flagship telephones from final 12 months just like the OnePlus 9 Professional and the Oppo Discover X3 Professional. It’s a big 1/1.56” sensor with 2.0µm pixels, although its efficiency will after all be affected by how Realme has tuned the software program. The primary cameras are backed by a 119-degree ultrawide and a macro lens; the non-Plus 9 Professional’s most important digicam has an unspecified 64-megapixel sensor that doesn’t have OIS and is presumably bodily smaller.
The spec variations between the 9 Professional and the 9 Professional Plus are literally fairly uncommon, as a result of the Plus isn’t essentially higher throughout the board. The 9 Professional Plus has a 90Hz OLED display, a MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor, and a 4,500mAh battery that fast-charges at 60W. The 9 Professional, in the meantime, has a 120Hz LCD, a Snapdragon 695 processor, and a 5,000mAh battery with 33W quick charging. The 9 Professional Plus’ OLED display with an in-display fingerprint sensor is actually what marks it out because the extra flagship-aping system.
