    First sensible phone this year: a single useful camera, two SIM slots and a separate SD card for huge transferable storage, a headphone jack, a fast modern efficient processor and 5G for those who can use it though turning it off makes no difference except to increase battery life ! Fantastic phone!

But it is worth noting that the BBK software is more stable and polished, so I think most users will be satisfied

              The worst models in the Realme range is the non-pro models because they only get 1 OS update. This 9 5G will only get up to Android 12, so forget about it getting Android 13. Don't believe me? Just look at the Realme 7 5G that started with Android 10. It's not in the roadmap to get Android 12.

                    BMHater12, 20 Jun 2022Even the global Realme 9 5G has Android 12 out of the box, ... moreBecause it's easy to fool BIS India , so they push any cheap components to Indian market ... Realme lcd displays in India will make you cry , literally

                      BMHater12, 20 Jun 2022Even the global Realme 9 5G has Android 12 out of the box, ... moreI suppose that they want to use it as an excuse to give one less OS upgrade for their users if they promise 2 OS updates, since going from 11 to 12 will already be counted as one out of two.

                        Akashi Seijuro, 20 Jun 2022Seriously, Android 11 out of the box in a 2022 smartphone? ... moreEven the global Realme 9 5G has Android 12 out of the box, why in the everloving hell did Realme re-release a different phone instead of the global variant?

                          Seriously, Android 11 out of the box in a 2022 smartphone?
                          Dude, even my Redmi K30 5G from 2019 already has Android 12, up from the first Android 10 that it originally came out with, and this thing already costs less than $200 now I believe. Wth is Realme doing?

                            No NFC, useless macro/depth combo, no LDAC, old A76 cores, probably very old GG version like 2nd or 3rd gen.

                            At least has usb c.
