realme, the PH’s no. 1 smartphone brand for 2021 (based on Canalys and IDC sell-in reports for Q1-Q4 2021), invites Filipinos to #CaptureTheLight like a Pro with its latest Number Series lineup that offers flagship-level features in the midrange segment.
Launched tonight via a special livestream, the realme 9 Pro+ and the realme 9 Pro are packed with features that are perfect for the needs of photographers and content creators. The realme 9 Pro+ is equipped with ProLight Imaging Technology that is comprised of a 50MP Sony IMX766 flagship sensor, Dual Stabilization System with OIS + EIS, and AI Noise Reduction Engine 3.0, designed to capture the best images even in low light. The realme 9 Pro, on the other hand, packs a 64MP Triple Camera Setup that has been fine-tuned to capture high-resolution snaps in various lighting conditions.
“We at realme believe that features such as Low Light Photography shouldn’t be exclusive to flagship smartphones. We always aim to make industry-leading technology more accessible to our market, and with the realme 9 Pro Series, we did just that by bringing an innovative combination of hardware and software into the mid-range segment. With the realme 9 Pro Series, our users can capture every moment like a Pro, no matter where they are or what kind of content they need,” said Austine Huang, realme Philippines vice president for Marketing.
Designed for photographers and content creators
With the industry-leading Sony IMX 766 camera sensor, the realme 9 Pro+ allows for more light intake to capture quality photos even in the darkest scenarios. Together with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), and AI Noise Reduction Engine 3.0, the device addresses key factors that make or break shot taken in low light: camera sensor size, lighting conditions, and movement.
The realme 9 Pro+ is equipped with a triple camera setup consisting of the main 50MP lens, an 8MP 119-degree ultra-wide-angle lens, and a 2MP 4cm macro lens, each serving a specific purpose. The realme 9 Pro has a similar setup for its rear cameras, but with a 64MP main shooter.
Both devices come with Street Photography 2.0 which has a new Smart Long Exposure feature with various modes to help take long-exposure shots with ease. Other features include a new 90’s Pop Filter, as well as Peak and Zoom capabilities.
