Realme and cameras! Over the last few years, we had grown tired of seeing some of Realme’s great phones losing out to the competition as soon as we brought up photography. No amount of optimisation could overcome the sub-par image sensors Realme used on its midrange and flagships – case in point is the Realme GT Master Edition that struggled even in well-lit situations too. It seems Realme grew tired of the same and finally came up with a phone that uses a bespoke Sony sensor to show what it can do when it goes all serious. Meet the Realme 9 Pro+.

Fancy to the Y!
Not only does that rear look ravishing, it feels nice to hold as well, since it uses glass instead of glossy plastic or vegan leather. I also like the 3D-camera hump
