In the previous week, ThePixel.vn gave the first look at the upcoming Realme 9i smartphone. The images shown by the publication were based on the actual handset. Now, it has shared the name of the chipset that will be fueling the Realme 9i. In addition, reliable tipster Chun has some details on its display and main camera.
The Vietnamese publication reported that it is 100 precent confirmed that the Realme 9i will be equipped with the 6nm Snapdragon 680 SoC, which was announced in November. To those who are unaware, the chipset does not carry support for 5G connectivity.
The Realme 9i renders had revealed it will be equipped with a punch-hole display. Chun claimed that the smartphone will feature an LCD panel that carries support for a 90Hz refresh rate. It appears to be a bit of a downgrade since the Realme 8i’s 6.6-inch LCD FHD+ screen supports a 120Hz refresh rate.
The Realme 8i is the company’s first phone to feature a triple camera unit. The renders of the successor model have revealed that it will be sporting a triple camera unit. Chun added that the 9i will feature a 50-megapixel primary camera. At present, there is no information available on the auxiliary cameras and the other specs of the device.
Rumors have it that the Realme 9 will hold a global launch event in January 2022 to announce the Realme 9i. As far as India is concerned, the company is speculated to unveil two or three Realme 9 series of smartphones by the end of January and the remaining models are likely to go official in February. The lineup is likely to include four smartphones such as Realme 9, Realme 9i, Realme 9 Pro, and Realme 9 Pro+.
