The first month of 2022 is going to be the busiest month when it comes to smartphones. Realme is going to release its GT 2 and GT 2 Pro on the 4th of January. The company is also focusing on its Realme 9 series, which will be released soon. Reports suggest that the company is focusing on its 9i, which appeared in many leaks and has been listed on a renowned third party store even before its official launch.
The upcoming Realme 9i can be seen listed on the official page of Realme on AliExpress. The pictures are not available on the website, but the specifications of the phone are mentioned. Based on the specifications this phone is going to be a budget-friendly variant in the series.
The upcoming phone comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 that will power this phone. This is a 6nm, 4G chipset. The CPU runs at 2.4GHz and the latest processor is a powerful and efficient at the same time. The GPU is still the same from the last generation. This processor has only been unveiled by Snapdragon 680 recently.
The processor requires 4GB of RAM (an 8GB variant is also available) and 128GB of internal storage. A 5000 mAh battery powers everything. In addition, charging power has been increased from 18 to 33 watts. However, the Realme 9i isn't all about improvements, since it lacks a 3.5mm audio port, according to the listing. If this is correct, the other two Realme 9 phones will also be without a headphone port which is indeed a missing element.
The Realme new budget model's design (as disclosed by prior leaks) is fairly conventional. Inside a raised camera rectangle, three lenses camera setup will be discovered. The front camera is placed inside a punch hole notch on the screen. Finally, the fingerprint scanner and the power button have been combined by Realme.
The display is a 6.59" 1080P IPS LCD. The refresh rate isn't indicated, but it should peak at a smooth 120Hz unless Realme is contemplating a decrease. The screen has an 18:9 aspect ratio, which is a good size. A 50MP sensor main camera is located the rear. The selfie camera has a resolution of 16 megapixels.
