Realme 9 Pro+ Free Fire Edition live images have been revealed by the company, ahead of its launch. Along with images of the handset, the company has also revealed the official launch date of the Realme 9 Pro+ Free Fire Edition in Thailand. The smartphone is expected to sport the same specifications as the Realme 9 Pro+ that was launched in February, and was recently spotted in a leaked design image earlier this week, tipping the design of the smartphone.

The company shared images of the upcoming Realme 9 Pro+ Free Fire Edition handset in a series of posts shared on the Realme Thailand Facebook page. The images show the smartphone's design from different angles. The company has also revealed that the smartphone will be launched in Thailand on April 12. Realme is yet to announce whether the handset will be launched in other markets, including India. It is worth noting that Garena Free Fire was banned in India in February, while Garena Free Fire Max remains accessible in the country.

The images shared by Realme show a redesigned rear panel for the Realme 9 Pro+ Free Fire Edition. The Realme 9 Pro+ featured the company's logo at the bottom left of the phone, which has been moved to the centre. On the bottom are the words Free Fire, while the company has also included the word “Booyah!” around the camera module. A booyah is an expression used to refer to a victory in Garena Free Fire, a popular battle royale game for smartphones. The official images of the smartphone corroborate the leaked design image of the smartphone spotted earlier this week.
