In mid-February 2022, the realme company announced the long-awaited smartphones of the “numbered” 9th series, and both new products with the Pro prefix. They are realme 9 Pro and realme 9 Pro+, which is the most advanced smartphone in the line at the moment. On the same day, the new 9 Pro+ appeared in my possession, and in this review I will tell you in detail what work realme has done, what exactly makes the Plus version of the smartphone interesting compared to the standard 9 Pro, and what makes it stand out from the competition.

Positioning and cost of realme 9 Pro+
At the time of publication of the review, the current ninth “number” series of realme smartphones includes three smartphones: 9i, 9 Pro and 9 Pro+. We haven’t seen the original realme 9 yet, which is interesting, but we’ve already had time to get acquainted with the basic budget realme 9i and today we’re looking at the 9 Pro+. I note that earlier the manufacturer did not practice a similar strategy with advanced versions, sorry, advanced mid-range smartphones. However, other brands, including those under the wing of BBK Electronics, have resorted to this.
