Qualcomm SM6225 Snapdragon 680 4G (6 nm)Chipset 8GB RAM + 128GB ROMRAM & Storage Triple: 108 MP, f/1.8, 26mm (wide), 1/1.67", 0.64µm, Dual Pixel PDAF +Rear Camera Li-Po 5000 mAh, non-removable batteryBattery

A 108MP main camera anchors the rear setup here, paired with an 8MP ultrawide and a 2MP macro lens. It's a lot of resolution for this price bracket, though the ultrawide and macro sensors are fairly basic. Up front, a 16MP camera handles selfies and video calls.

The 6.4-inch Super AMOLED panel runs at 90Hz with peak brightness hitting 1000 nits, which makes outdoor visibility decent for the segment. Under the hood, the Snapdragon 680 handles everyday tasks fine paired with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage, though it's not built for heavy gaming. realme 9 price in Malaysia starts from RM660, which puts it squarely in the budget-to-midrange gap.

Battery life should hold up well thanks to the 5000mAh cell, and 33W charging gets you to half charge in around 31 minutes. There's no NFC here, so contactless payments are off the table, but you do get an under-display fingerprint sensor and a 3.5mm jack with 24-bit audio support.
