Realme 9i Specifications
The realme 9i has a 6.6-inch display with an adaptive refresh rate. With this, the phone will change the refresh rate up to 90Hz depending on the content being displayed.

For the camera, the realme 9i has a triple camera setup at the back made up of a 50MP main sensor, 2MP portrait camera and a 2MP macro lens. A 16MP lens sits at the front for all your selfies.
The smartphone is equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery with support for 33W fast charging over USB Type-C.
