Our Realme 9 Pro+ video review is now out

Peter, 01 March 2022

We liked the Realme 9 Pro well enough, but there is no debate that the Realme 9 Pro+ is the better phone. The main camera in particular stands out with great daytime shots, impressive nighttime performance and a solid portrait mode.

The Dimensity 920 chipset also delivers more compute power than the Snapdragon 695 in the other 9 Pro. The smaller battery hurts the Endurance rating a bit, but it is still really good at 117 hours, plus the 60W charger gets from zero to 77% in half an hour. And while the 6.4” display offers only 90 Hz refresh rate (instead of 120 Hz like on the 9 Pro), the HDR support and color accuracy are certainly an advantage.

What’s not to like about the Realme 9 Pro+? It’s a capable mid-ranger, but we have some reservations about its price – there are some alternatives that offer better value for money out there (including from Realme itself). Our video review below will walk you through the details and our thoughts on the Pro+.

In case you missed it, we also have a written review of the Realme 9 Pro+ if you want to browse through the camera samples or listen to the phone’s stereo speakers yourself.

Scroll lag in UI 3.0 needs to be fixed. 90 Hz feels unstable because of scroll lag

IDK how you can define it as heavily overpriced, maybe it is sold at a really high price point in your country.

I must say that GSMArena reviewers seem to have a total fixation on the details of the camera performance of a phone and almost ignore everything else. I don't know but wouldn't it be more useful to review the 5G performance of these phon...
