5 reasons why the realme 9 Pro+ is one the camera phones to beat for the price

On schedule, realme Philippines earlier revealed the official local price and availability details of its 9 Pro series.

This is the realme 9 Pro+

Out of the two phones that the company launched earlier, the realme 9 Pro+ caught our attention the most. Why? At just PHP 23,990, the company equipped it with a flagship-grade camera sensor.

Here's why we think that it is a formidable camera phone regardless of price.

5 reasons why the realme 9 Pro+ is one of the camera phones to beat for the price

1. Flagship-grade 50MP sensor - The realme 9 Pro+ is boasting a massive 50MP f/1.8 Sony IMX766 sensor. At 1/1.56-inch, this sensor size is bigger than several camera sensors found on more expensive smartphones. In comparison, this is larger than the 1/1.9-inch 12MP main cam of the regular iPhone 13.

Crisp Night shot due to its large sensor size

The benefit of a bigger sensor is it will let more light in for better low light performance. Moreover, IMX766 is a high-end camera sensor with plenty of features to improve focus, colors, and overall picture quality of your shots. realme even paired this with optical image stabilization for less shaky videos.

Crisp camera quality even when you do 2x or 3x zoom

This is a camera sensor that I will pick most of the time even against some 108MP camera sensors.

OIS

2. It has fast autofocus and OIS for stabilization - realme notes that the realme 9 Pro+ has super-fast autofocus speeds and we agree. This will help users take less blurry shots of subjects especially if your hand is a bit shaky. It even has hardware-based optical image stabilization (OIS) aside from electronic image stabilization (EIS) for less shaky shots including videos.

Triple-camera setup!

3. It is assisted by two more cameras - The device also features an 8MP shooter with f/2.2 aperture size and a 119-degree field of view. This will allow its users to take shots with a wider view. This could be great for group shots and sceneries as well.

In addition, it goes with a 2MP shooter with an f/2.4 aperture that can shoot up to 4cm near macro images.

4. realme included a lot of software tricks and optimizations - realme also added the Super Nightscape and different cool-looking filters, Dynamic bokeh, and Neon Portrait.

You will also find the new Street Photography 2.0 technology with Smart Long Exposures which will allow its users to take Light trail portrait, Neon trail, Rush hour, and Light painting shots even if you forgot your tripod.

It even has the AI Noise Reduction Engine 3.0 to ensure that your low-light photos look crisper and more detailed.

Dimensity 920 chip!

5. It uses a power-efficient chip with a capable - The device uses the 6nm Dimensity 920 processor that is known to be a power-efficient chip that will allow its users to use the handset for hours and hours. Moreover, this chipset has flagship-grade noise reduction techniques (3DNR + MFNR) for better photos and videos. This even allows users to take 4K HDR videos as well.

Bonus: The 16MP selfie camera of this handset is quite capable too. It even has an adjustable Portrait mode with a few filters as well as the Night mode.

Quick thoughts

So aside from its capable overall specs and the cool design that you can check here, these are the reasons why we think that the realme 9 Pro+ is one of the camera phones to beat for the price point.
