Realme 9 Pro SE 5G Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Realme 9 Pro SE 5G - the desire to be the first

The Chinese company Realmi has introduced several bestsellers to the market at once in the ninth generation of the main line of budget smartphones. The audience especially liked the older model, which provides unusual photo opportunities for the price category. The hero of today's review is trying to improve this achievement of its predecessor, although this is only partially achieved.

The appearance of the novelty will be familiar to fans of the brand. The beloved block of three cameras and the colors of the glass cases, the small frames (except for the bottom) of the display with a fingerprint scanner built into it, and the amazing ergonomics of the compact monoblock evoke extremely positive emotions. I don't even want to criticize the plastic edging, which most of the phone's rivals have. The 6.43-inch AMOLED screen is characterized by FullHD + resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate, which is already superior to many analogues. And given its excellent brightness, low PWM effect and even an oleophobic coating (both on glass and on a complete protective film), then there are no questions about image quality.

Specifications do not set performance records, but they never faced such a task. The Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 CPU is a good solution for the value segment, able with 8GB of RAM and Adreno 619 graphics chip to guarantee a smooth Android 12 experience and keep the customer entertained. The processor is enough for demanding Android games, it is possible to avoid friezes and slowdowns even in multiplatform projects like Fornite and Genshin Impact, albeit with noticeably reduced graphics presets. The chipset does not upset with throttling, and the power consumption is negligible. The 5000mAh battery is enough for a couple of days of working with the device, and such a distinctive feature of the battery as fast charging at 65W has been preserved. There are no problems with the size of the internal storage, which reaches 128/256GB with a microSD card slot .

The main cameras are headed by a 108-megapixel Samsung HM6 sensor, which has not been used anywhere before. Although there is no optical stabilization, the photos in 99% of cases come out detailed, without noise. Sophisticated software and a special night shooting mode allow you to get wonderful evening shots, although to avoid blurring you will have to more confidently hold the device in your hands. NFC contactless payments, stereo sound , support for 5G frequencies and a reasonable price tag by today's standards will stimulate hundreds of thousands of people to purchase the considered device.
