Outdated Product
An interesting offer in the shelf of mid-range smartphones with stakes on an increased "hertz" screen, a balanced "iron" character and an accelerated procedure for charging a 5000 mAh battery. The device was equipped with a large 6.5-inch diagonal screen with a resolution of 2412x1080 pixels and a refresh rate of 90 Hz. The hardware platform of the smartphone is based on the eight-core Snapdragon 680 chipset (without support for newfangled 5G networks). A popular model configuration in terms of onboard memory is 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of ROM. If there is not enough space in the internal drive, the user has the right to resort to the services of a separate slot for a microSD card (installed independently of two SIM cards). The 33-watt fast charging function of the built-in battery helps to...minimize the smartphone's time at the outlet. On other points of the programme, Realme 9i 128GB / 4GB captivates with the presence of an NFC module, a side fingerprint scanner and a decent triple camera (50 + 2 + 2 MP).

Model overview based on user reviews  
The Realme 9i 128 GB / 4 GB smartphone offers a few notable features, including RAM expansion which enhances multitasking capabilities, and a design that some users find acceptable. However, there are significant drawbacks to consider. The poor battery performance is a major concern, as it drains quickly and may require multiple charges throughout the day. Additionally, the phone struggles with limited LTE-A functionality, requiring manual setup to connect to networks. The camera quality is subpar, offering only 1080p at 30 FPS, and the Snapdragon 680 processor is considered weak and outdated. Furthermore, the body is made of plastic, which feels cheap compared to glass-bodied alternatives, although some users still appreciate the phone's appearance. Overall, while the Realme 9i has some appealing features, its performance and build quality may not meet the expectations of all users.

The phone with 3 cameras is mediocre, the battery life is non-existent, it discharges very quickly, sometimes I have to charge it 2-3 times a day.

Well, the Snapdragon 680 processor is trash, especially in 2022, it's horrible don't take it, even the 8i at least has the MediaTek G96.
The appearance is okay.
The processor is so-so, the 5000 mAh battery could be stronger too.

Got it today, 6 hours of use. Bought based on the battery life test from this site, which was claimed to last longer than phones with 8-10k mAh batteries, but it drains quite quickly, like any regular phone. I'm using an e-reader with a voice synthesizer (reads aloud), at 30% brightness, with headphones at 70% volume - about 10% battery per hour. So, yeah, my old phone with a 4k mAh battery, which had been replaced multiple times, lasted 5-6 hours under those conditions. Compared to the old one, it's fine, but I expected more. By the way, it doesn't pick up 4.5G, although it's supposed to support LTE-A technology - maybe it needs to be set manually, I haven't figured it out yet.
I don't drink
Not standalone
LTE-A does not work (at least automatically)
Not only was I annoyed by this bottom charger connection, but they also crammed headphones there... How can you place the phone on your stomach when lying down, or on a stand if there are a bunch of wires at the bottom??? Why not make all these wired ports at the top??? What's the problem - I don't understand!
