Read More: What is Graphic design (Bengali)
The Realme 9 Pro Plus is the new phone from the company. One look at its specifications and it is easy to see that with it Realme is trying to offer to consumers top-end specs and a good feature set, somewhat similar to what flagship phones offer, at a much more affordable price.
With a price of Rs 24,999, the Realme 9 Pro Plus offers several cool features. A camera that has optical image stabilisation? Check. 5G support? Check. Stereo speakers? Check. A unique — but one that won’t be liked by everyone — design? Check. Fast charging? Check. So is this the phone to buy for Rs 25,000? Let’s take a closer look.

Realme 9 Pro Plus review: Colour-shifting design
Realme is a risk-taker. I say that in the context of phone designs, because while some Realme phones can easily please everyone, some phones look odd, as in love-it-or-hate-it odd.
The Realme 9 Pro Plus belongs to the second category, more so if you talk about one particular variant of the phone, the Sunrise Blue. The name suggests a blue shade on the phone, which is true only until you take your phone out in the sun and let the sunlight strike its back. Then, magic happens. The blue colour changes to red with purple accents. It is amazing to see how the phone changes its colours in a jiffy. The glitter etched onto the back design gives it a sparkly look, too.

But while this entire colour-shifting is a spectacle, the red colour may not be everyone’s liking. Personally, I go for subdued colours, so this trick of the Realme 9 Pro Plus doesn’t work on me. For people like me, Realme has two more colours; Midnight Black and Aurora Green. The finish in these colours doesn’t change.
I liked how comfortable the Realme 9 Pro Plus is to hold, and the design makes it easy for my fingers to reach the top of the screen when I have to bring down the notification panel. The rounded corners do make sure the phone does not press into my hands, its weight — 182 grams — is on the lighter side.
Realme 9 Pro Plus review: Good display for binge-watchers
OLED screens have become a norm on phones over Rs 20,000 and the Realms 9 Pro Plus is no exception. Its 6.4-inch display is big enough to enjoy watching movies and playing games on, and the FullHD resolution makes the content look crisper. I watched the trailer of Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness on it and it looked sumptuous with all its colours, while episodes of Titans in FullHD on Netflix kept me hooked for hours.
Gamers are particularly going to like the 90Hz refresh rate, which not only enhances the gaming experience but also makes animation and scrolling look smoother. There is an adaptive refresh rate feature if you want the phone to decide the refresh rate of the display, but if you want the best experience, you can set 90Hz as the default refresh rate — at the expense of higher battery consumption.
Complimenting the display are the stereo speakers, tuned by Dolby Atmos and Hi-Res Audio, which made me ditch the earphones sometimes. That is how loud they are. But do not expect depth and bass in the sound.
Realme 9 Pro Plus review: Fast but average battery life
MediaTek’s Dimensity 920 processor powers the Realme 9 Pro Plus. It is a slightly better version of the Dimensity 900 processor that I have tried before. It is a mid-range chipset, so stuff like multitasking, switching between apps, and video editing work smoothly and without visible lags. I could read emails, reply to them on a floating window, and resume watching Titans on Netflix without a hiccup. That is a good performance, but to push the envelope, I played games.
Battlegrounds Mobile India ran very well. So did Call of Duty Mobile. Not to brag, but I won the title of MVP thrice in a row for TDM matches. But I must tell you that you cannot play these games in the full graphics possible, and that might be a bummer for people who want to buy this phone strictly for gaming. I would suggest you go for a higher-specced phone if you want to enjoy the highest graphics. Gaming was also the task when I managed to properly find out how good the haptic feedback of the 9 Pro Plus is. It is definitely better than what I have tried out before on Realme phones, but still not subtle like that on the iPhone.
Playing games, however, takes a big toll on battery life. In my 40-minute session, I lost nearly half the phone's power. I spent my day browsing the internet, clicking some photos, recording a video, watching Instagram Reels endlessly, and finishing two episodes of Titans on Netflix. The battery was merely enough to last the night in the end. The 60W charger is a blessing for people who are always hooked to their phones (not me). It is slightly slower than the 65W charging technology, but you get full juice in around 45 minutes.
Realme has shipped the 9 Pro Plus with Android 12-based Realme UI 3.0 out-of-the-box for the first time. I appreciate that we are finally seeing the latest versions of Android at hand, but maybe it was a hurried implementation. Navigating through the interface felt inconsistent at times. Once the Google Discover feed got stuck so badly, I had to restart the phone. Maybe it was a one-off thing, but other things such as the delay in the toggling of dark mode, made me question the stability of the software. However, since this is the software we are talking about, an update can fix all those things. But you may still have to live with the fact that the phone has bloatware.
Realme 9 Pro Plus review: Measures heart rate
Samsung did it first. Its Galaxy S5 was the first phone to bring a heart-rate sensor. It used advanced technology for that, and people began to rely on it so much. However, with the increased use of smartwatches and fitness bands, Samsung felt heart rate sensors on phones had become obsolete. The last phone with such a sensor was the Galaxy S10.
Now the 9 Pro Plus sports a heart-rate sensor. It uses the optical sensor under the display — the one that identifies fingerprints— for measuring heart rate. It is a neat trick based on the change in the shade of red in your finger when light is shone through it. I found the results mostly accurate because the entire mechanism is very much identical to how heart rate sensors on fitness bands work. It is good for the first attempt, but Realme wants to work on this feature more and that is why the feature is a part of Realme Labs.
Many people today have a fitness band or a smartwatch. Many also have a regular SPO2 monitor at home because the pandemic made that almost an essential tool. So, I am not sure if people will use Realms 9 Pro to measure their heart rate. But if you do need it, know that it is there.
Realme 9 Pro Plus review: Flagship cameras
Ditching the 108-megapixel camera on the Realme 8 Pro, this time Realme has placed the bet on the Sony IMX766 sensor, which we have seen previously on the OnePlus 9 Pro and Oppo Reno 7 Pro.
The 50-megapixel main camera in the Realm 9 Pro clicks excellent photos. I liked how leaves, houses, and objects in the photos I clicked showed great details. The colours are natural, as well. The dynamic range seemed boosted but it gave photos a more appealing look. Photos clicked outdoors show a good balance between light and dark portions. Indoor photos are also good, but I think using the night mode to click photos inside makes them look better.
Talking about the night mode, Realme 9 Pro Plus does not disappoint. Photos that I clicked using the night mode had good brightness in them, and there was very little noise in them. This camera is also quick to focus, and I felt the focus was mostly on point. The camera app has an improved street mode. It essentially gives you predefined settings for clicking long-exposure photos.
There are four options available; Neon Trail, Light Trail Portrait, Rush Hour, and Light Painting. But to be able to take their full advantage, you will have to find the best scenario — mostly the one full of lights in the background. This mode also gives gesture-based zooming and focusing. Tap and hold the shutter button and move it right or left to adjust the focus and up and down to adjust the zoom level.
The ultra-wide-angle is also good enough for clicking landscapes and group photos, but the details in photos are a little hazy. The macro sensor is average and lacks sharpness, but you will get a good amount of zoom into subjects with this mode. The 16-megapixel camera on the front clicks details photos, thanks to the Sony IMX709 sensor, but the colours seem a bit artificial. I had to turn off the beauty mode to get near-natural colours for my skin in selfies.
Realme 9 Pro Plus is also the brand’s first phone in India to come with optical image stabilisation. OIS is a premium feature that you will find on high-end devices, so Realme has really gone further in undercutting them. I recorded many videos with OIS turned on and was impressed by how the videos turned out. But there is no support for 4K 60fps videos, and that is a letdown. I feel this could be one of the reasons why some people would buy this phone.
Realme 9 Pro Plus review: Should you buy it?
I think the Realme 9 Pro Plus is an out-and-out phone meant for photography enthusiasts. Although I do not mean to say this phone will not suit other needs, such as gaming, this phone has everything the shutterbug in you needs from a high-end phone without paying that price. The 50-megapixel camera can click amazing photos, while extra frills such as street mode give you features to experiment with. The optical image stabilisation is what creators will love, while the fast processor will make sure editing is a smooth sail.
Those who are not into photography much but want a phone that is fairly good in all aspects will also like the 9 Pro Plus. Its crisp and rich display and stereo speakers will make binge-watchers happy, while games run well enough on the phone if you do not mind graphics settings a notch below the best. In my opinion, gamers can look for a better option, such as the Xiaomi 11i Hypercharge, but for everyone else, the Realme 9 Pro does bring a lot to the table. And the fact that it brings all that for Rs 24,999 makes it an appealing choice.
