The top PH mobile brand officially launches the realme 9i with a price tag of PHP 11,990. From the get-go, the handset features luggage-like stripes with a rectangular camera hump with two big camera holes, one small camera hole, and a LED flash.

In front, it sports a 6.6-inch LCD 1080p+ panel with an adaptive 90Hz refresh rate. It can go as low as 30Hz and switch to 48Hz, 60Hz, and 90Hz automatically when needed. It also has a top-left punch-hole housing the 16MP f/2.1 selfie camera.

Inside, it is powered by the new 2.4GHz 6nm Snapdragon 680 octa-core processor—Qualcomm's newest chip for affordable mid-rangers with Spectra 346 triple ISP. But, the GPU is still Adreno 610, an older GPU found on lower-end chips.
