Smartphone Realme 9 Pro Plus - a novelty for stylish people
At the beginning of 2022, Realme entered the market with an interesting offer. The new Realme 9 Pro + promises to be the hit of the year. And the chip here is not at all in the technical characteristics. The smartphone model has a unique body that can change its color. True, under the influence of ultraviolet (sunlight). But this know-how will definitely arouse interest among buyers.

Review of the smartphone Realme 9 Pro Plus
Nice moment - equipment. There is a charger with a power of 65 W (10 V at 6.5 A). Which is very pleasing. Take the same Xiaomi, where the smartphone supports 65 W or more charging, and a 33 W unit is included.
The case of the Realme 9 Pro Plus smartphone seems to be slightly puffy. But this is a visual effect due to the applied “chameleon” layer. The phone lies well in the hand, does not slip. Given the ability to change color, it is unlikely that someone will hide such a gadget in a case. So, it is very important that it is not too slippery.
I was pleased with the location of the volume and power buttons - they are on different sidewalls. Accidental shutdown when changing the volume, or sound control, when turned on, is excluded. The screen is awesome. Juicy, good brightness. There is an oleophobic coating. Yes, the screen collects fingerprints, but they are easy to remove.
The camera unit is decent and the photos make the Realme 9 Pro Plus smartphone worthy. But this block sticks out strongly on the back of the smartphone. Plus, it's off-center, on the side. That is, if the phone is lying on the table, then when you press the screen, it will swing to the sides. Uncomfortable. There is another drawback - the lack of an LED event indicator. All calls and messages will be missed if the Realme 9 Pro Plus smartphone is not at hand.
The optical fingerprint sensor can work in heart rate monitor mode. This is great. But optics do not give the same accuracy in operation as a capacitive screen. That is, recognition will be lengthy and not always correct.
The performance of the Realme 9 Pro+ smartphone is excellent. Compared to Xiaomi 11Lite, against which he plays in the market, the novelty of Realme does it in all tests. And by a huge margin. Doesn't get hot during work or play. Efficiently consumes battery power. For its price, despite minor flaws, it is quite suitable. I wonder how long the chameleon coating will last. After all, ultraviolet radiation is destructive radiation. It is a pity that the manufacturer did not indicate the time between failures in hours.
