The realme 9i has a large 5000mAh battery with a super power-saving mode that allows for continuous consumption and use for lengthy periods of time.
The realme 9i also has a 50MP AI Triple Camera, which includes a 50MP Ultra HD Main Camera, a 2MP B&W Portrait Lens for professional portrait mode, and a 2MP macro lens, as well as popular photographic features such as Panoramic view, Expert, Time-lapse, AI Beauty Filter, Super Text, and Slow Motion.
