Product details

The higher number of transistors and greater density result in faster data processing efficiency and lower power loss, while the CPU's main frequency and overall arithmetic performance and efficiency are enhanced. This offers the advantage of quicker application launches on the smartphone and improved performance. A longer battery life compared to the Realme 8i is particularly appealing for users who frequently utilize their smartphones. Displays with a high refresh rate eliminate animation blur and provide a significantly better user experience during scrolling and gaming. The Realme 9i is equipped with the first Snapdragon 680 6 nm processor in this segment. As an optimal high-performance Qualcomm 4G processor, it ensures substantial improvements in smartphone performance. A charging technology with higher voltage and lower current is integrated for faster charging. With stepless variable speed adjustment, the voltage and current can be intelligently adjusted. The unit is finely tuned with a drive of 500 mA, improving charging efficiency and reducing unnecessary heat loss generated during charging.
