    With the increasing popularity of 5G connectivity the choice of the Dimensity 810 chipset is cool in the realme 9i 5G.

      WOW Panda Glass 😅, I though it was weaker than Gorilla

        I like the triple slot (2 sim + dedicated slot for Micro SD), but I wish there is a 256gb memory.

          buying phones online can be trusted via the phone brand website. have to wait longer to arrive to your door though but worth it. just dont buy in like shopee. they somehow scam and steal customers money. unless you have to buy from trusted seller

              buying samsungs, xiaomi, or maybe huawei would be a great decision if i want to upgrade from overpriced, low spec phones

                              Headphone jack and Micro SD card expansion to lure them (you know them, I don't).. Lol the phone is fugly. The chin, and everything is Fugly.. at least the complainants have something to buy. This is just like shoving a dirty pacifier into a crybaby's mouth just to shut him up.

                                  thanks to its snapdragon 450 chipset. the sound is comparable to j1 ace

This is different era as compared to newly formed company. They have better software support than One Plus, Xiaomi, Motorola phones in this price bracket. No competition in terms of software support. They messed up Realme 9 Pro Plus and Realme GT Neo 3 Price, otherwise they are pretty much in track to have good future.
