It's 2022 and nearly every smartphone launched outside the budget segment has support for 5G, despite there still being no sign of 5G networks in India yet. Realme has been pushing plenty of 5G phones for over a year now, but oddly, it's latest offering, the Realme 9i, is a 4G-only model. It's an entry-level offering in the brand new Realme 9 series, and will soon be accompanied by the upcoming Realme 9 Pro and Realme 9 Pro+. While a 4G-only phone could still be relevant if it delivers in other areas, the Realme 9i seems to have a few omissions compared to its predecessor, the Realme 8i.
