Realme 9A - even cheaper, even easier

The Chinese company Realmi resembles not only the name of its main opponent (spoiler: Redmi), but also its actions. Thus, the corporation decided to expand the main line of its smartphones with a budget device with the familiar "A" index. Was the creation of such a device so important and will the device become popular? Let's figure it out.

The appearance of the novelty contains both outdated and quite modern elements. The peephole of the 5-megapixel camera in the upper left corner of the screen looks relevant, which cannot be said about both the width of the display bezels and the fingerprint scanner located at the back. On the positive side, we also note a beautiful block of two photo modules in the style of more expensive representatives of the series, as well as a tactilely pleasant plastic case. But it is worthwhile to understand that such material is quickly scratched, so wearing a complete cover is mandatory. The 6.5-inch IPS-screen still has a small layer of air between the glass and the sensor, which is why the visibility of the picture in direct sunlight is poor, and the overall level of brightness is modest. HD + resolution is also not a plus, but this fact is characteristic of numerous competitors of the phablet.

The Mediatek Helio G35 processor is a low-performance solution that most Android users have grown tired of. 2GB of RAM and a PowerVR GE 8320 video adapter do not add to the attractiveness of the chipset, which in such a bundle has difficulties even with the reproduction of the Android 11 interface. forget. 32GB of ROM is also not the ultimate dream, but the insurance against lack of memory will be a microSD card slot .

13 and 2-megapixel photosensors provide the necessary photo opportunities for daytime shooting, but even here you should not expect a complete absence of noise or accurate color reproduction. But the autonomy will not let you down, because the gadget uses a capacious 5000mAh battery, which demonstrates more than 10 hours of active screen time from a single charge. This is where the advantages of the phone end. There are no contactless payments or stereo sound, to find them you need to go to the middle price segment. As a result, we got an ordinary inexpensive Android smartphone, which would be better left in the C-series.
