Midrange processors for midrange phones

It’s usually enough to take a look at the processor model to realize what kind of mobile device you have in front of you. That’s also the case for the Realme 9 Pro and 9i 5G – both are midrange phones with decent processors, so there’s no use expecting the same performance you would get from the latest iPhone or Samsung, for instance.

Realme 9 Pro features the Snapdragon 695 chipset, which is a mid-range mobile platform that was introduced in 2020 and is designed for use in smartphones and other mobile devices. It is equipped with 5G connectivity, which allows for faster data speeds and more efficient performance when connected to a 5G network.

In terms of performance, the Snapdragon 695 is generally considered to be a capable chipset that is well-suited for mid-range devices. It is based on the Qualcomm Kryo 460 CPU and the Adreno 618 GPU, which provide good overall performance and support for high-quality graphics. The Snapdragon 695 also includes the Qualcomm Spectra 355L image signal processor (ISP), which enables support for advanced camera features such as multi-frame noise reduction and support for up to three cameras.

MediaTek Dimensity 810 supports 4K video recording

MediaTek Dimensity 810 is the chipset that is mounted on the Realme 9i 5G, and it’s based on the ARM Cortex-A76 CPU and the ARM Mali-G57 GPU. There’s good overall performance and support for high-quality graphics. The Dimensity 810 also includes support for advanced camera features, such as 4K video recording and support for up to four cameras.

In terms of performance, the Dimensity 810 is generally considered to be a capable chipset that is well-suited for mid-range devices. It offers good overall performance and support for advanced features such as 5G connectivity and high-resolution displays. However, it is not as powerful as some of MediaTek’s higher-end chipsets, such as the Dimensity 1000 or the Dimensity 1200, which may be better suited for more demanding tasks.

Realme has gained popularity in recent years for offering smartphones at competitive prices. Like any other smartphone brand, Realme phones have both strengths and weaknesses, and whether or not they are “good enough” for a particular person will depend on their individual needs and preferences.

In general, Realme phones are known for offering good value for money, with a wide range of models that cater to different price points.

Realme 9 Pro costs around $237, while its sibling can be yours for an amount revolving around the equivalent of $179.
