Same name, different concepts

Despite being two devices of the Realme 9 family, the 4G and 5G variants have little to do with technical specifications. The most ambitious model is the 4G, with Samsung’s HM6 sensor with 108 megapixels and accompanied by ultra wide angle. The screen is Super AMOLED, with a maximum brightness of 1,000 nits, and the whole set moved by a Snapdragon 680 with 6 GB of base RAM and 8 GB optional.

The best mid-range phones of 2022

The 5G model cuts into almost everything, from screen to cameras. It gains in connectivity and refresh rate, since its IPS panel reaches 120hz. It is also cut into memories, with a base of 4 + 64 GB. The goal of Realme is to make the 5G version more accessible, with a more connected model, although it cuts in some aspects.
