For under RM1000, there is a sea of great value smartphones to choose from, but that doesn’t mean that every of these phones deliver a great experience and practical features, and fortunately this doesn’t apply to the realme 9, the latest sub RM1000 mid-range phone from realme has a lot to offer that its competition doesn’t, and here are reasons why you should consider one.
The best and strongest mid-range phone display
Sporting a 6.4-inch Full HD+ Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling rate, the realme 9 has the best display of its class that produces vivid colors and great contrast, while offering a buttery smooth experience when you scroll webpages and social media, it also has a 2.5D glass that’s protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5 which is more resistant to drops and scratches.
The realme 9 is also one of the few sub RM1000 phones that has Widevine L1 certification, which means you can stream Netflix and Amazon Prime Video in Full HD without any issues.
