Common features of the realme 9 Pro+ 5G and realme 9 Pro 5G
Industry-leading Light Shift Design
Both smartphones under the realme 9 Pro 5G series sport the industry-leading Light Shift Design feature on the rear panel. realme gathered photographs of the sunrise from realme fans around the world in nine different time zones and extracted the most classic changing color in the sky, from a quiet blue to a blazing red, which now reflects on smartphones. Under normal sunlight or ultraviolet light, the back cover will completely change from blue to red in about 3 seconds; under no sunlight, it will return to its original color in 2-5 minutes. realme created a dual-layer photochromic process and then creatively added an organic composite layer to the photochromic layer and glass, which not only guarantees the viscosity but also increases the color rendering rate by 40% – among the highest in the industry. *The Light Shift Design only applies to the Sunrise Blue variant of the smartphones.
Professional Street Photography Mode 2.0
The realme 9 Pro 5G series features the industry’s first street photography mode. It has the smart long exposure mode, Peak & Zoom and 90’s Pop Filter. The fun, upbeat photography mode was developed based on the characteristics of “fast” and “real”, to capture images quickly whilst reducing the algorithmic interference. Using this mode users can capture long exposure shots with four filters – Neon Trail, Light Trail Portrait, Rush Hour, Light Painting. realme, in collaboration with its fan community, has also introduced a 90’s Pop Filter to add to its users’ experience.
realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12
The realme 9 Pro+ 5G and realme 9 Pro 5G will be the first realme smartphones to come with realme UI 3.0 based on Android 12 out of the box.
Dynamic RAM Expansion
realme developed DRE technology to address the limitations imposed by the phone’s lack of memory, which turns ROM into virtual RAM to extend RAM. With the realme 9 Pro 5G series, you can add up to 5GB Dynamic RAM to the original RAM on the smartphone to get additional space.
