Realme recently introduced the Realme 9 series in India, and the Realme 9i is one of them. The Realme 9i comes with a new triple rear camera system comprising of a 50MP primary camera, a 2-megapixel depth sensor paired with an f/2.4 aperture and a third 2-megapixel macro camera.

Impressive Portrait/Bokeh shots
