Drawing
One of the most noticeable improvements of the Realme 10 4G over its predecessor is its design. It’s more polished and original, with flat edges like the latest iPhones and a more minimalist look. The camera module is very elegant because it fits directly into the back cover without the presence of a dedicated camera island. Subsequently, the back side is made with a special gradient color that changes depending on the reflection of light.
The Realme 9 4G remains an elegant and beautiful phone. It has a punch-hole display, roughly the same screen-to-body ratio as the new model, and good color options too. However, both devices feature plastic bodies and are not made of high-quality materials, unlike high-end phones.
