Realme 9 4G India launch marks the newest entry in the brand's popular Number series, bringing a Samsung 108MP HM6 sensor, a Snapdragon 680 processor, and a 5000mAh battery to the mid-range segment at a starting price of just Rs 17,999.
Realme 9 4G India Price, Variants and Availability
Realme has announced two storage variants for the Realme 9 4G India market. The 6GB RAM + 128GB storage variant is priced at Rs 17,999, while the 8GB RAM + 128GB storage variant carries an MRP of Rs 18,999. During the first sale, buyers can pick up both variants at a discounted Rs 15,999 and Rs 16,999 respectively. The sale opens on April 12 at 12 noon on Flipkart and Realme's official website. The phone comes in three colour options: Sunburst Gold, Stargaze White, and Matter Black.
Display and Design
The Realme 9 4G features a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 360Hz touch sampling rate. The panel resolves at 2400x1080 FHD+ and reaches a peak brightness of 1000 nits, with a screen-to-body ratio of 90.8 percent. Corning Gorilla Glass 5 shields the front. A punch-hole cutout houses the 16MP selfie camera, and an in-display fingerprint sensor sits beneath the screen for quick biometric unlocks.
On the back, Realme uses a Dynamic 3D Ripple Texture with a Plasma Atom coating built across six layers. The result is a back panel that shifts colour as light hits it at different angles, giving the phone a premium, eye-catching look despite its affordable price tag.
108MP Triple Camera System
The headline feature of the Realme 9 4G is its 108MP primary sensor — specifically the Samsung ISOCELL HM6 — which captures exceptionally detailed stills and supports a dedicated 108MP mode. Alongside it sit a super-wide lens for expansive shots and a macro camera for close-up photography. Video recording tops out at 1080p/30fps, with 720p/30fps and 720p/120fps slow-motion also on board.
For selfies, the 16MP front camera uses a Sony IMX471 sensor. The camera app bundles modes including Nightscape, Pro Mode, Portrait, Panorama, Time Lapse, Super Text, AI Scan, and Super Macro, making the Realme 9 4G a versatile shooter for everyday use.
Performance and Battery
Under the hood sits the Qualcomm Snapdragon 680 — an octa-core chip clocked at up to 2.4GHz paired with an Adreno 610 GPU. This combination handles daily tasks, social media, and casual gaming comfortably at this price point.
Power comes from a 5000mAh battery with 33W Dart Charge support. Realme claims a full charge in 75 minutes, and a 30-minute charge delivers around 50 percent battery. That means you will rarely be tethered to an outlet for long.
Software and Connectivity
The Realme 9 4G runs Realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12 out of the box. Connectivity options include dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, a USB Type-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a triple-card slot that supports two SIM cards and a dedicated microSD card simultaneously.
