The Realme 9i has a 6.6-inch full-HD+ display with a 90Hz peak refresh rate. The panel is however a step down considering the Realme 8i screen has a 120Hz refresh rate. The panel showcases adequate brightness with colours that are just fine for the job.

The Realme 9i is an extremely power-efficient phone, and a full charge lasted us approximately two days. The phone was charged to 51 percent in 30 minutes and 91 percent in an hour using the included 33W charger. You won't need to charge the Realme 9i too often if you're a light user.

The Realme 9i has a starting price of Rs. 13,999 in India, which may appeal to people on a budget. The phone's camera is subpar, which makes recommending the higher-priced option to people seeking for an all-rounder even more difficult.
