After multiple teasers, Realme has finally launched the 9i in Nepal. It’s the first phone to launch under the Realme 9 series in the country, while we also expect to see 9 Pro and 9 Pro+ in the near future. For now, let’s take a quick peek at the specs, features, official price, and availability of Realme 9i in Nepal.
Realme 9i Overview:
Design and Display
Realme has gone with a new Prism design for its latest mid-range phones. Over 3,000 machined lines together form the phone’s prism texture. In addition, Realme has used an 8-layer optical coating process for visual effects.
Over on the front, there is a 6.6″ FHD+ LCD screen with support for a five-level 90Hz refresh rate. It’s a downgrade from Realme 8i‘s 120Hz refresh rate, by the way. The phone retains the 180Hz touch sampling rate and boasts a brightness of up to 480 nits.
Performance and Memory
This time around, Realme has switched to Qualcomm for performance. Under the hood, you’ll find Snapdragon 680 chipset, which is based on a 6nm process. This should mark a significant improvement in thermal efficiency over last year’s 12nm-based Helio G96.
As for memory, Realme 9i comes with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. The latter can be expanded up to 1TB using a MicroSD card.

Camera
Realme has re-designed the camera bump at the back of the phone, which takes cues from camera islands on the recent GT-series phones. In terms of the camera hardware though, nothing much has changed from last year.
Here, you are getting a 50MP primary camera accompanied by a 2MP macro and a 2MP portrait lens. Over on the front, there is a 16MP selfie camera with an f/2.1 aperture.
