The Realme 9 (4G) will use a brand new 108MP sensor – Samsung’s ISOCELL HM6

The Realme 9 (4G) will be the company’s second phone with a 108 MP sensor, following the Realme 8 Pro. However, the 8 Pro used the older ISOCELL HM2, while the 9 is getting a brand new HM6 sensor.

The company will market the camera as “ProLight”. As it explains, the ISOCELL HM6 uses a new NonaPixel Plus layout (3×3 binning), which combined with other improvements will increase the sensor’s light gathering ability by 123% compared to the HM2.

Based on its internal testing, Realme claims that the new camera takes brighter pictures and produces better color reproduction in low lighting.

The Realme 9 will also use the “ultra-zoom” feature that is built into the HM6 sensor for lossless zoom using the main camera. Samsung is yet to officially unveil the new sensor – the Realme 9 will be the first to use it and the phone itself is still pending announcement. Expect to hear more details about the HM6 and the new NonaPixel Plus arrangement soon.
