The Realme 9 Pro is the latest mid-ranger from the brand, serving as a successor to the Realme 8s 5G. It boasts a larger screen, bigger battery, and new chipset, but falls short in its camera setup compared to its sibling, the Realme 9 Pro+. Design-wise, the phone has an identical design to its predecessor with a distinctive camera island, available in Midnight Black or Sunrise Blue variants. The glossy back catches fingerprints easily, but the flat sides make it feel sharp along the edges. The display is a 6.6-inch IPS LCD panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, which is a step up from the 90Hz OLED panel on the Pro+. However, gaming performance was disappointing, stuck at 60Hz despite efforts to increase it. Battery life is excellent, lasting 134 hours on our tests, thanks to its 5000mAh capacity and 33W charger. The phone's new Snapdragon 695 5G chipset handles day-to-day tasks well but stumbles with games. The camera setup, although improved from the Realme 8s 5G, still disappoints in terms of color accuracy and noise levels, particularly in low-light conditions. Selfies are also underwhelming. Overall, the Realme 9 Pro is a solid mid-ranger with a great display, fast charging, and up-to-date software. While it may not be the best value on the market, it's still a recommended choice for those seeking a 5G-capable device.
The Ulefone Armor 26 is an impressive device that delivers on all fronts. With its massive battery, ample RAM, and vast storage capacity, this phone is a powerhouse. The Mediatech Dimensity 820 5G processor provides seamless performance, making it perfect for heavy users. Additionally, the phone's 5G capabilities ensure it stays ahead of the curve in terms of network connectivity. The Ulefone Armor 26 also boasts an impressive camera system, featuring a quad-core module with a tele-lens, wide-angle lens, and dedicated night vision lens. The results are stunning, whether capturing photos or videos in daylight or low-light conditions. The phone's Gorilla Glass 5 display provides excellent protection against scratches and drops. One of the standout features of this device is its robust build quality. With IP69K certification, it can withstand harsh environments, including water, dust, dirt, and extreme temperatures. The US smart expansion Port adds to the phone's versatility, allowing users to expand its capabilities with various accessories. The screen itself is a highlight, offering a large and vibrant display with great density and refresh rate. When it comes to audio, the super-loud and clear speaker delivers an immersive experience, perfect for music or video playback. In conclusion, the Ulefone Armor 26 is a solid choice for anyone seeking a rugged yet feature-packed smartphone. Its impressive specs, robust build quality, and exceptional camera capabilities make it a top contender in its class. Whether you're an adventurer, professional, or simply someone who wants a reliable phone, this device has something to offer.
