Realme 9 Pro Plus will use MediaTek Dimensity 920 chipset, launch soon

Realme said that the 9 Pro+ will be one of the first few phones to come with a MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor, which will enable 5G connectivity on the upcoming phone.

Realme 9 Pro+ will be among the first few phones to use the MediaTek Dimensity 920 processor, the company has announced. The Dimensity 920 is one of the high-end processors and also the successor to the Dimensity 900. It also brings 5G support for the Realme 9 Pro+, making it fall in line with what Madhav Sheth, Realme India’s boss, said a few days back. He said that both the Realme 9 Pro+ and 9 Pro will be 5G phones, but did not reveal anything else.

“The upcoming realme 9 Pro+ will support 5G networks and will be one of the first smartphones to adopt the MediaTek Dimentsity 920 5G Processor,” said Realme.

I have used the Dimensity 900, as well as the Dimensity 800 and the Dimensity 700 processors, on earlier Realme phones and found them fast and consistent enough for the price of the phones having them. So, my expectations of the Dimensity 920 are a little higher, especially because it will come as a higher-end processor in the company’s mid-range lineup. For you, it should mean better speeds than what phones like Realme X7 Pro can offer.

Realme still has not revealed a launch date for the 9 Pro series in India. This means that the launch may still be a few days away and the company may oust a few more details about the upcoming phones in the meantime. But leaks have already informed us that the design of the Realme 9 Pro+ and 9 Pro will be similar to that of the 9i.
