Following a tepid response to remaining year`s Realme 8 series, which couldn't really healthy as a good deal as Xiaomi`s Redmi Note 10 series, the BBK-owned Oppo sub-brand Realme is on an aggressive telecellsmartphone launching spree of late. In February, we observed the global launch of the Realme 9 series that covered smartphones — the Realme 9 Pro and the Realme 9 Pro+. Today, on March 10, 2021, Realme delivered greater 9 series devices to its portfolio with the discharge of the Realme 9, and the Realme 9 SE.
While the Realme 9 is clearly located below the prevailing Realme 9 Pro lineup, the second handset launched today – the Realme 9 SE – does make for an exciting proposition.
Contrary to what you can need to your mind, the `SE` tag in its name does now now no longer advise it`s a ways a scaled-down Realme 9. Instead, its pricing and hardware specs really located it on par with the greater costly Realme 9 Pro+ and slightly above the Realme 9 Pro. In reality, it`s a ways really faster than the Realme 9 Pro+ in severa aspects. And in case you haven't guessed it yet, the SE in Realme 9 SE is short for `Speed Edition.`
Realme 9 SE: The fastest Realme 9 yet
The Realme 9 Speed Edition gets its name for two number one reasons. First, the telecellsmartphone gets the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 778G SoC chipset, that`s quite a chunk faster than the Snapdragon 695 used on the Realme 9 Pro. Secondly, the Realme 9 SE gets a 6.6-inch, 144Hz panel that enables a 240 Hz touch sampling rate — a aggregate hitherto unheard of in this fee segment (greater on that later). The display choice – at 1,080 x 2,412 pixels – is slightly higher than conventional to account for the mild increase in display duration. Realme has opted to use an IPS LCD panel on the Realme 9 Speed Edition to preserve costs down – a trade-off that Realme thinks most clients in this fee segment won't mind.The rest of the specs do now no longer look horrible either, with the telecellsmartphone coming in RAM options – 4GB and 6GB – collectively with 128GB of onboard storage. Typical of phones in this category, clients get the selection to use microSD cards (it's far a triple slot!) for memory expansion.
The huge duration of the Realme 9 SE seems to have enabled Realme to use a larger 5,000 mAh battery on the device, and a 30W charger is covered withinside the sector with the telecellsmartphone.
From the photographs shared via Realme at launch, it`s a ways easy that the Realme 9 SE gets three rear-going via cameras. This is every other region in which the SE seems to fall brief of its stablemates. Apart from the 48MP primary virtual digital camera – that allows you to deal with the bulk of imaging – the telecellsmartphone gets a macro virtual digital camera and a depth sensor — and misses out on an ultra-wide-attitude virtual digital camera. Rounding off the virtual digital camera department is a 16MP selfie virtual digital camera housed interior a hole punch on the top left corner of the display.
In terms of connectivity, the telecellsmartphone is 5G ready – regardless of the reality that most of the markets it`ll launch – do now now no longer have 5G coverage yet. It moreover enables Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.2.
While Realme seems to have taken care of the hardware, the Realme 9 SE seems to be instead lacking almost about software. The telecellsmartphone however runs the older version of Realme`s custom UI called Realme UI 2.0, based mostly on Android 11.
Realme 9 5G: The less expensive opportunity
The Realme 9 does now no longer have headline-grabbing abilties similar to the 9 SE. However, a quick take a look at the spec sheet – and it does now no longer seem like a slouch either. Sure, it misses out on a a hundred and forty 4 Hz panel from its `Special Edition` sibling — but Realme has however managed to equip the Realme 9 with a 90 Hz panel with 180Hz touch sampling rate — which isn't always too horrible.
This display – at 6.5-inches – is slightly smaller than that of the Realme 9 SE and enables FHD+ choice but at 600 nits, this panel is as splendid because the best on Realme 9 SE.
Powering the Realme 9 is the MediaTek Dimensity 810 SoC, a 6nm chip part of MediaTek`s rate variety lineup. Unlike its cousin, which best is to be had in a 128GB configuration, the Realme 9 offers exceptional storage options; a 64GB base version that gets 4GB of RAM and a 128GB opportunity that can be bought in 4GB and 6GB configurations.
The virtual digital camera setup on the Realme 9 – even though it appears exceptional – is near-equal to the best you observed on the Realme 9 SE and includes a 48MP primary virtual digital camera and sensors for macro and depth. Even the 16MP selfie virtual digital camera is carried forward.
The battery functionality of the Realme 9 – at 5,000 mAh – is equal to that of the Realme 9 SE. However, this one best enables 18W fast charging with the supplied charger.
Like the Realme 9 SE, this telecellsmartphone however runs a slightly dated version of Realme UI — that`s based mostly on Android 11.
