If you are fond of mobile phones, then you already knowand if not, then just know: Realme is the youngest manufacturer with the mission “We will prove to you that other manufacturers are snickering with markups on their smartphones.” Once the old manufacturers of mobile phones (Nokia, Sony-Ericsson, Motorola, Samsung) moved Xiaomi and Meizu, then Meizu died a little, and Xiaomi began to break into premium, so the young and hungry Realme came and moved competitors, like Tele2 after arrival in Moscow took away subscribers from MTS / Beeline / MegaFon. In a new round of competition, Realme should be replaced by Tecno, Infinix, VSmart, but the latter died, and the rest still can’t bring mobile phones to the level of Xiaomi and Realme. But we digress...
Almost all Realme models are created not just as “buthere we came up with a smartphone”, and as a specific alternative “look at that Xiaomi model - we have the same thing, but better / cheaper”. And specifically, Realme license plates have always been an alternative to Xiaomi ones “generally a budget smartphone, but almost middle class in terms of characteristics!” Redmi note:
-
Realme 6 and 6 Pro were competitors at the same time for Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 series and Redmi Note 8/8 Pro.
-
Realme 7 and 7 Pro - for Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 and 9 series
-
Realme 8 and 8 Pro are the best alternative to Redmi Note 10 and 10 Pro models.
And now the ninth series of Realme has come out, which shouldbecome competitors for Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 series. And here Realme 9 is remarkably doing a frankly passable Redmi Note 11, Realme 9 Pro + clearly surpasses Redmi Note 11 Pro and 11 Pro + 5G in everything except charging speed.

Incomprehensible smartphone with a special mission
But Realme 9 Pro ... turned out to be a hybrid of a snake with a hedgehog -a smartphone for 18-19 thousand rubles, in which half of the characteristics were copied from cheaper models, and the rest from smartphones that are 5-10 thousand rubles more expensive.
And you are mistaken if you think that “well, they blinded from what was” - everything was done intentionally. And these intentions we will find out today.

Boring, gray, good
It seems to be the "rudiment of an electric stove" on the back platelicked from the iPhone, but it seems to be related in the “workshop” (Realme and OnePlus belong to the same company BBK) OnePlus 9 Pro looks like ... I don’t know, I like these burners more than the vertically lined cameras in Realme 6 (in a manner iPhone X / XS) at one time, or the square camera blocks from the Realme C21Y, or the heap of horseradish understand what in the Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro camera block. But I’m still a pervert in this regard - I liked the round-square camera layout in the Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro / X3 NFC, so don’t be guided by my opinion.

Cooktop, electric
The back panel, as it is now customary, is made of alloyglass and plastic, in our case - smoky gray. Russia is for the sad ones, so this option will be bought most often, the other two (blue-pink gradient and green with “crumb spray”) will not be appreciated by the guys. But I would take green - on a gray case, although it is not a brand, scratches will quickly become visible. No matter how much I fluttered over the smartphone, trying to keep it in a presentation, and a couple of scratches on the back formed during the two weeks of the test. And on the monotonous glossy cover they are clearly visible, but among the green dots they are easily disguised.

Cooktop, smartphone
It's funny to say this about 6.A 6-inch smartphone, but in terms of dimensions it is now a mid-size model. If it seems big to you, you just never held the 6.8-inch Xiaomi 11 Ultra or Samsung S21 Ultra in your hands - here with them you have a thrill every time you correspond on the go. Because it is difficult to reach the edges of such shovels, and your 100+ thousand can easily fall on concrete and turn into mush. And with Realme 9 Pro, this probability is noticeably lower, because it is not so big.

Quite sane dimensions, although it doesn’t seem so on the diagonal of the display
Otherwise, as usual, there are two news - good and bad:
-
bad- to fool your wife/friends/classmates aboutthe price of a smartphone will not work, even if they are not on the w3bsit3-dns.com forum. It’s just clear from the smartphone that the scanner is in the side button, and not in the screen (for some reason, no one was able to repeat the feat of the Galaxy A50 from 2019, including Samsung itself). The frames around the display are not particularly small, but at the level of “okay, that’ll do.” Well, lovers of practicality will whine that the slot for SIM and microSD is hybrid (or one SIM + memory card, or two SIM), and not a full-fledged triple one.
-
Good- say thank you for at least a memory cardyou can slap them on - now sometimes they are cut out of mid-level mobile phones (Realme 9 Pro+, OnePlus Nord 2 and others), and fuck with your 128 GB (of which even less is free) as you want. And there is even a 3.5 mm jack for wired headphones. And the selfie camera is a separate round thing in the corner, and not a built-in black splash-drop, as often happened with Chinese smartphones.

Doesn't look more expensive than it is, but there are plenty of smartphones out there that look worse for the money.
In short, everything is fine with him.
IPS? Did you go there at all?
iPhone 11 owners can still crow aboutthat “yes, these of your OLED / AMOLED are not really needed, good IPS is no worse!”, But we know that Samsung-like colorful screens with steep contrast (black color is straight black-black):
-
And they save battery power better (because they have a black color = the screen segment is off, watch a movie with frames above and below - in places of these frames the display is off and resting)
-
And they do better in the sun. Because the infinite contrast and in general AMOLEDs shine brighter in the limit. Soon everyone will go to the sea to warm their ass, and there, on the beach, the difference will be noticeable.
Realme 9 ProMaximum brightness level(max./min.)450/4 cd/m2Contrast(more = better)1500:1Color gamut(sRGB) (90-100% is ideal)115%DeltaE(less = better)4.96Gamma(ideal - 2.2)2.1Colour temperature(ideal = 6500K)8000K
8000K, of course, upset. And the rest is normal
AMOLED has a minus - many say that PWM (it flickers finely, an infection, other people's eyes hurt from this), but few people feel it.
And, nevertheless, here is IPS, and not simple, but 120 Hz. Normal in terms of brightness, in terms of color reproduction it will do, although they could have been better adjusted. Well, who needs him?
Duc knows who - all sorts of igrunami.For more sensitive and sharp control, so that the processor graphics give all the best, and do not rest on frame limits. In short, the difference is like playing with a good mouse versus a bad mouse at the computer.
And to everyone else? Yes, quite right too.If you remember, Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC, Mi 10T/Mi 10T Pro came out with similar displays and everything was OK. Everyone who is not “smeared” with new smartphone models every month, as reviewers or sales consultants, will not find any defects in picture quality.

If you give you a smartphone with a modern IPS, you will very likely confuse it with AMOLED
The main thing is that autonomy should be at the level, because according to statistics, IPS eat the battery much more cheerfully than AMOLED. But before that, we'll get to the text, wait.
Fast high-end processor, although castrated by marketers
In the good old days, reviewers might not eventurn on the brain when writing a paragraph about the processor and just wrap the thought: “Well, you understand, this is Qualcomm, but they don’t do shit!”. From 2016 to 2020, one could write like this, and they would not be mistaken.
A lot has changed since then - Qualcomm sometimesmanaged to do shit, for example, Snapdragon 888, the processor overheating uncontrollably in any smartphones. Like the Snapdragon 810 at one time, the old-timers remember.

For a twenty on Aliexpress, a smartphone with processors above average is quite good, I’m telling you
And something, on the contrary, has ceased to be shit. Like, for example, the new Unisoc processors, and MediaTek as a whole has become very good.
Where is the Realme 9 Pro's Snapdragon 695 5G in this rankings? And he is in a very, very good position:
- Technically -"stump" based on Snapdragon 865/870. These are all marketing Kryo 660 Gold andKryo 660 Silver is technically Cortex-A77 and A55 cores. In Snapdragon 865, Qualcomm marketers call them "Kryo 585", but the essence is the same. It’s just that the best smartphone processor as of 2021 (I’m not afraid of these big words), the 865th and its derivative 870, had three powerful A77 cores, one “super-core” on the same base, but overclocked + 4 A55 cores. Only 8 cores.

The sum of points for the processor + graphics + storage + RAM is also not bad
Snapdragon 695 also has eight of them, only A77there are not four, but two pieces, and the A55 - six pieces, such a “dedrofication” today is done by middle-class processors from flagship models. Well, as you understand, the Snapdragon 865 has A77 cores at 2.4 GHz or more, while the Snapdragon 695 not only has fewer of them, but also the frequency is cut to 2.2 GHz.
"Castrated" too, you say?Nah, these bits of flagship tech still run faster than the hot, slow CPUs of yesteryear like Snapdragon 845, Exynos 9810 and Kirin 980 (Samsung Galaxy S9, Sony Xperia XZ3 and Huawei P30 Pro are slower than this new budget Realme from our review, guess?).
And yet, unlike those old flagship processors, the Snapdragon 695:
- Eats little and almost does not heat up. Because 6 nm process technology.That is, it is spanked on more advanced machines than even the Snapdragon 865 and 870 (it has a 7 nm process technology)! Of course, Snapdragon 888, Exynos 2200 (Samsung S22) are generally released at 4 nm, but these are smartphones for 70-100 thousand rubles. But the Apple A14 processor from the iPhone 13 Pro Max is built on 5 nm. In general, the effect is the same as if you put a cool water cooling system into a budget computer - the heating limit is pushed back very, very far. And this whole system, due to modern A77 cores at low frequencies +, also eats little for the technical process.

12
Not an ultra-fast processor, but does not overheat at all
Another good point is that there is support for 5G up towhich we will not live to see in Russia, ha ha ha, good Wi-Fi (not gigabit, but 500+ Mbps squeezes out easily, high-quality sound via Bluetooth (aptX HD, LDAC) is also present.
Minuses?The graphics for games are pretty shitty - the weakest of almost everything. In real games (and not benchmarks), it often turns out to be slower than in MediaTek Helio G95 and even G90T (fucking shame, Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 Pro came out on the G90T three years ago!), Slower than the already aged Snapdragon 732G, 730 and 720G, slower all sorts of MediaTek Dimensity 700. And even slower than in Snapdragon 480, although it would seem that there is Snapdragon 695, and some kind of low-end budget 480, but on the old architecture (it has A76 cores), even if it should be slower with a different video accelerator? .. But no, Qualcomm's logic doesn't work that way.

In theory, the graphics seem to be good, but…
And this is the main oddity - whya smartphone that only handles Genshin Impact at 35-35 fps and Call of Duty Mobile at 60 fps, a 120Hz display? No, I admit there are games that are new enough to support 90-120Hz displays and low-demanding enough to hit that many frames per second, but… do you have any idea what those games are?
As a result, we get a smartphone with a display “speciallyfor games ”(otherwise they would have taken 90 Hz AMOLED, as in the younger Realme 9), which these games do not pull at either 90 fps or, even more so, at 120 fps. By the way, Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G has the same processor, only at a different price - not in favor of Xiaomi. And in general, there are so many complaints about the smartphones of the Redmi Note 11 series that this is not the biggest of them yet ...
eleven
…but why the hell does a smartphone that doesn’t always squeeze out 60 frames per second in games need a screen with 120 Hz?
But if you are not a gamer, but just wanted a fast smartphone that does not overheat and works for a long time, then you will like it. Just look how hardy the mobile turned out!
Super-efficient processor - it's clear thatcomponent of success. But the IPS display here also consumes so little that, as you can see from the measurements, Vivo V23, Xiaomi Poco M4 Pro, Realme 8 and many other smartphones that have the same 5000 mAh, but also AMOLED, are discharged faster!

Autonomy is awesome, one of the best endurance among smartphones with IPS displays, and indeed any smartphone with 5000 mAh
To be honest, I did not expect such a picture, although inAt one time, the Realme C21 and C25 proved that IPS smartphones can be hardy. Yes, and Xiaomi Poco X3 NFC with 120 Hz and 5100 mAh, if you remember, was also pretty good in terms of autonomy. In short, with current technologies (wangyu zonal backlighting or tricks with the number of Hz), IPS displays are not inferior in efficiency to AMOLED displays, and you can simply choose what you like best (natural color reproduction with higher natural brightness in IPS, or “wow , powerful colors!” and AMOLED less blinding under the sun).
If you've been following Realme, then you know thatThe Chinese (Xiaomi, by the way, too) made a feint with their ears, and the successor to Realme 8 Pro was not Realme 9 Pro, but Realme 9 Pro +. And Realme 9 Pro is the successor to Realme 8, roughly speaking.
Why am I leading this?In addition to the fact that the previous Realme 8 Pro charging speed record (replenished 4500 mAh in 30 minutes from 0% to 80%), the new Realme 9 Pro did not break (replenished 5000 mAh from 0% to 52% in the same 30 minutes), but still a very good result. Because the Samsung Galaxy A32, for example, charges a dull 23% during the same time.
On the other hand, Xiaomi will be cooler: Redmi Note 11 standard charges in half an hour up to 51%, and Redmi Note 11 Pro in half an hour - up to 78%.
Camera - "on thin"
Smartphones are cheaper than 20 thousand (even with a newsensational exchange rate of the ruble) there is some kind of shame - a few units of smartphones in this budget have normal cameras. The rest are crap. So much so that the owners of Redmi Note 9 Pro or Poco X3 NFC, who bought them for 15-18 thousand rubles a couple of years ago, can consider the owners of new mobile phones in this budget to be subhuman - cameras, due to the semiconductor crisis and the thirst of smartphone manufacturers to eat black caviar, degraded in budget smartphones.

Realme 9 Pro is no exception.
On the one hand, it's good that he didn't getthe 50 MP Samsung S5KJN1 camera common today, which has become a symbol of lousy photo and video quality in budget smartphones (Xiaomi Redmi 10, Redmi Note 11, Poco M4 Pro 5G, Oppo A55, TCL 20B, Realme 9i and other nominees for the award "somehow shitty, I thought it would be much better to take pictures, ”they won’t let me lie.





16
So that you understand what AI color rendering is in mobile phones. This photo was taken with AI disabled…
On the other hand, its 64-megapixel Omnivision OV64B (like Realme 8 or Xiaomi Redmi Note 10S) is not much better.
During the day, everything is in order on the street, but indoors inauto-mode photos are loose. At night, even if there are a lot of lights around, the quality also remains at the level of mobile phones for 10-12 thousand rubles, and it can only be improved in night mode. By the way, there are two night modes here: AI and Pro. In one, the smartphone itself calculates how many seconds you need to stand still when shooting, in the second you are allowed to touch the ISO and exposure knobs on your own. But without a tripod, what the hell can you do, so it’s better to take pictures in AI mode.








19
The night mode of the photo, of course, can, it can. Clearly, in nature clearly!
On the other hand, twisting the color rendition withWith the help of AI in daytime photos, Realme is often good - both beautiful and not acidic cartoons, as Huawei P20 Pro had at the time of release, and many other “Chinese”. Close to photographing something also turns out well - maybe the macro camera helps, or maybe it's not in it, but in the main camera.
With video, like almost all smartphones up to 20thousand, everything is clumsy - you can’t shoot 4K, in 1080p the clarity is so-so (and it’s not about the resolution, but the camera is just not very high quality), and at night everything trembles so much that even the face of the person in the frame can be disassembled on the go will not work.
The quality of shooting during the day is not so great if you watch it on a large monitor or TV…
And at night it's even worse
An ultra-wide-angle camera is present, it is of average scall. It is no different from competitors' cameras.

12
This is a photo taken with the main camera.
But the selfie camera is difficult to evaluate.On the one hand, during the day it is too brutal with the clarity of the picture - even if you have smooth skin in real life, in the photo it will look like the asphalt of Donbass. On the other hand, at night for this money, very decent self-portraits are obtained. For example, Huawei P30 Pro, praised among enthusiasts, has a worse selfie camera, and many smartphones at the price of Realme 9 Pro have worse front cameras.

12
It looks like the muzzle has been carpet bombarded with pimples recently and is now scarred. Although there is no such effect
As you can see from the examples of photos and videos, a smartphone can be “forced” to shoot well, but:
-
These pictures are already after the rejection, dofiga frameswere blurry, very rough - "noisy" or dull. If you are not a surveyor, it is unlikely that you will stand straight and make 4-5 attempts to photograph something.
-
There were no tricks.In night mode, so that the smartphone (like all “Chinese”) does not take an overexposed photo and does not turn night into evening, you have to slightly reduce the exposure (brightness) with a twist. In some photos, you need to enable the AI button in the camera settings to touch up the frame. In some it is not necessary. If you are a pioneer, an enthusiast and you are interested in all this, learn. If you want it to “just shoot with consistently high quality”, save up money for Realme 9 Pro + - that’s where the drop-dead high-quality camera for such requests is.
What is good for the Chinese, the Russian is a broken power button

This damn button turns on the smartphone, but cannot turn it off. And it's done on purpose
The standard Realme’s design of the system, based on Android 12, which is nice (we will not poke a finger at Xiaomi, where Android 11 is still up to date and only the shell is being updated).
There are many pleasant jokes in the system that differ from competitors:










1/11
General realm shell
-
You can connect two pairs of headphones or speakers at the same time!Some are wired, others are Bluetooth.
-
Can be forced to include 120 Hz in the display instead of the standard 60 Hz. Here, for example, Samsung says: “Either 60 Hz, or auto mode. And when there will be real 120 Hz, you, lackey, should not worry, I will decide for myself!
-
Recording conversations (calls). It seems like a familiar thing, but Google has been such a goat lately that you can try to find a working record. Here it is and works perfectly.
-
Adding RAM by "biting off" the built-in. That is, you have 8 GB of your own in your mobile, and alsoYou can throw 3-5 GB if necessary. Now it is not really needed - 8 GB is enough, but you know that on old mobile phones, hot WhatsApp, VK, Telegram will “fall out” of memory and show missed messages only when you click on the icon. This smartphone has a way around this crap.
Now let's get to the idiocy.You buy a Realme 9 Pro smartphone for yourself, turn it on, use it, and then you want to turn it off. Press the power button, hold - nothing happens. Press, hold longer - zero reaction. Digging through the settings - do not find a way to turn off the smartphone.
At the same time, the button works - with a short press, the screen turns on and goes out, as expected. But you can't turn it off.
It turns out that specifically in this model, to turn it off, you need to simultaneously press "Power" and "Volume +".
TO BUT TO ABOUT D ABOUT
X R E N BUT
???
But the fact remains - even Realme 9 Pro + turns off normally, but Realme 9 Pro turns off not only from Rilmi models, but in general from all Android smartphones.
Well, the manufacturer is right, of course. But it would be necessary for Bastrykin to check the Chinese programmers for drug trafficking, I think.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G

He is
Yes, yes, yes, “but on Aliexpress there is an awesomewhat a profitable model, and you, scum, withheld information about it in the review! ”, I understand everything. But first, I will show you a direct competitor of Realme 9 Pro among smartphones that are sold in Russian chain stores. This is Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G.
Why not the standard Redmi Note 11?Because it will merge in the quality of the camera and the speed of work, somehow it will not work out sportily. “But Redmi Note 11 Pro is more expensive!” Readers will be indignant. And I will draw their attention to the fact that:
- The autonomy of these two smartphones is the same
- Work speed is the same
- The brightness and quality of screens in manual adjustment mode are the same, but in auto AMOLED, Xiaomi is brighter
In general, a more or less equal comparison comes out, on and on Aliexpress Realme 9 Pro and Redmi Note 11 Pro are the same - it's just that Xiaomi's prices in Russia are higher than the measure.
Why Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G is better for such a surcharge?Well, it charges drastically faster and has a better camera. Realme 9 Pro + is no longer up to par, but compared to Realme 9 Pro, it is significantly better. And the AMOLED 120 Hz display, whatever one may say, will make many people very happy, until recently, such high-quality screens were only in Samsung for 70-80 thousand.
In short: Realme for those who are satisfied with the quality of the camera, and all this at no extra charge. Xiaomi - plus charging and plus photo / video quality with the same autonomy and speed. But more expensive.
Yesterday there were small ones, but three each, and today large ones, but five each.
OnePlus Nord CE 2 5G

Fans consider it "a sleazy slide from a unique manufacturer to Oppo's slaves", but the smartphone is in fact a good one
Samsung at a comparable price with Realme 9 Pro in the office.retail is now completely lousy (but if you meet a Galaxy A52 for the same 26 thousand, buy it - the cameras are masterpieces), and it’s somehow not easy to sculpt another Realme or Xiaomi into the list of competitors. Therefore, we took another smartphone from the BBK OnePlus concern.
If you look towards Realme 9 Pro and want something similar, but a little better and maybe not Realme anymore, for an overpayment of 3 thousand rubles on Aliexpress you get:
-
A processor that is 10% faster in apps and 35% faster in games
-
AMOLED instead of IPS
-
Faster charging
-
Much better video recording
Yes, the battery is smaller, but this is the case whenAMOLED is economical, the amount of autonomy is about the same, and OnePlus charges faster. Well, the photos, of course, will hardly differ in quality from the Realme 9 Pro, because the camera sensor is the same. But the extra cost is worth it.
It is unlikely that you will find it, but if anything - take it

Soon they will stop selling it, but this smartphone is better than most of those that are written in this article
Already rare (they are selling off the rest), but a very cool smartphone - Xiaomi 11 Lite 5G NE, which everyone unfairly forgets about.
I don't know if this is a marketing conspiracy orXiaomi and Redmi are created by different people, but this mobile phone for 18-20 thousand on Aliexpress is cooler on almost all fronts, not only the standard Redmi Note 11, but also Redmi Note 11 Pro 5G, and Realme 9 Pro too:
- Better quality camera
- The Snapdragon 778G processor is simply chic. It seems to be about the same in terms of measurements as the Dimensity 900 in OnePlus above on the list, but in fact it is both faster and more economical.
- The display is better, the Wi-Fi is better, the charging speed is the same.
- Slim and relatively compact.
The battery, however, is only 4250 mAh - from the currentThe voracity of processors deserves only the rating "tolerant". But the smartphone is very high quality, “with soul” and, surprisingly, costs the same as the crooked-oblique Redmi 11 Pro.
Why did they make him like that?

Hello to everyone who has not mastered the text and scrolled right here

With Realme 9 Pro +, everything is clear - this is a middle-class smartphone, in which the quality of shooting photos on the main camera was brought to the level of other flagship smartphones (Samsung Galaxy S21 FE, for example).
Realme 9 is also clear why it is needed - there are stupidly a lot of things (AMOLED and 108 megapixels in an inexpensive smartphone).
Why do you need Realme 9 Pro?
Before the review, I would say that for games - that's why dofiga hertz, some kind of "pumped up" incomprehensible Snapdragon of the new generation, everything seems to converge?
Nah, in fact, the smartphone pulls games ... yes, usually, in a budget way, without records that would require 120 Hz.

The mobile phone is very strange in terms of characteristics, but it has its purpose
But in the end it turned out that this is a smartphone according to the recipe “Schaub worked as long as possible, but did not slow down and we didn’t have anything for it.” It turned out something like Realme 6i, only in a new quality:
-
Display 120 Hzis important not because it can produce a lot of hertz,not particularly necessary here, but because he knows how to do a few of them when there is no need for it. As a result, the efficiency was equal to AMOLED and did not lose any qualities.
-
The processor is not a game nifiga. You can play, but not a game (I, too,I wear sneakers, but the athlete is perhaps on a liter ball). But on very modern cores (quite fast) and on a very modern technical process, therefore it eats little and does not heat up even under super-loads.
-
The battery is not cut offneither up to 4500 mAh, nor up to 4200 mAh, like some competitors.
As a result, all this works to go nuts for how long and at a decent speed.
What about the camera? She is here for change - not a luxury, but an element of photo-video recording in this case.
In Russian retail, the smartphone is quite expensive (althoughXiaomi is even more expensive), on Aliexpress it also breathes Xiaomi 11 Lite NE in the back, but the model is cool in terms of the combination of speed and autonomy. If you're one of those gloomy people who rarely take pictures, but want a consistently fast smartphone with good battery life, and not a budget junk, this is the most suitable option, as our measurements showed.
