Realme CEO Madhav Sheth has also confirmed the launch of the devices. In an interview with 91mobiles, he has revealed that the phones will be priced above Rs. 15,000.
- With the introduction of the 9i, it seems that the floodgates have opened for the rest of the 9-series handsets to make their way into India. The 9 Pro and 9 Pro+, along with two other 9-series smartphones, are expected to be announced by February.
- The 9-series will further increase the company's presence in the budget segment.

The Realme 9 Pro will flaunt a triple rear camera arrangement comprising a 64MP main sensor, an 8MP ultra-wide shooter, and a 2MP tertiary lens. Up front, it will sport a 16MP snapper. Details about the camera of 9 Pro+ are scarce but it is likely to feature a triple camera module with a 50MP primary shooter and two other unspecified sensors.
Realme 9 Pro will be powered by a Snapdragon 695 SoC, paired with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage while details about the 9 Pro+'s chipset are unknown as of now. The former will house a 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast-charging support while the latter may pack a 5,000mAh battery with 65W fast-charging. The handsets may boot Android 12-based Realme UI.
