Inexpensive, pretty, and fast: The realme 9i is quite convincing, but has a weakness in low-light photography.

Con un diseño muy atractivo, algo característico de toda la serie 9, el Realme 9i tiene una buena pantalla y gran batería que lo hacen ser un buen teléfono. Lástima que las cámaras no cumplan con las expectativas y sea el único de la serie que no cuenta con la nueva versión Realme UI 3.0.
