DESIGN

Included in the box alongside the realme 9 Pro+ box are a SuperDart charger, a clear silicon case, and an ejector pin, but no earphones! The test unit we received came in the Aurora Green color with a gloss finish for a premium feel. Not surprisingly, it is lighter and thinner than other models in the realme Numbers series, as the 9 Pro+ claims to be the thinnest realme phone yet.

Featuring the same Super AMOLED Display as previous models, the latest realme 9 Pro+ has an edge with its higher refresh rate of 90Hz. A neat feature allows you to configure your screen color mode to Vivid, Natural, or Pro mode, so you can choose the color temperature that suits your eyes.

The power button is placed on the right side of the phone. The volume rocker and sim card tray are at the left. As usual, the stereo speakers, headphone jack, and charger are at the bottom. In front is a single camera, while at the back is the triple camera. The optical fingerprint sensor is embedded in the display of the smartphone.

HARDWARE

The realme 9 Pro+ is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G Processor and runs on Android 12 and Realme UI 3.0 operating system. It has 8GB expandable RAM and 256GB storage. The battery is 4500mAh with a USB-C 60W SuperDart fast charger that charges your phone to 100% in under an hour.

realme stepped up its mobile photography game even more with the 50MP Sony IMX766 wide camera with OIS support in addition to its triple camera with an 8MP ultrawide camera, a 2MP macro camera, and video captures 4K at 30fps, 1080p at 30/60/120/480fps, and 720p at 960fps.

HONOR X8B

HONOR’s Xa-series smartphones impressed me last year. HONOR’s entry to mid-range lineup was reasonably priced and each model had its niche special feature. Among the standouts last year was HONOR X8a, an entry mid-ranger with a massive 100-megapixel camera that shot out the competition. This year, the HONOR X8b is a worthy successor to the X8a.
