Interestingly Garena’s Free Fire game was banned by the government of India in February (although Free Fire Max is still available).

Realme 9 Pro+ Free Fire edition design revealed

The Realme 9 Pro+ Free Fire sketch shows the design of the upcoming special edition phone. According to Steve, the changes are mainly cosmetic, with the Free Fire branding on the rear panel and accents on the sides. The device will likely come with a Free Fire theme as well.

The rectangular module is placed at the top-left corner, where triple camera lenses and an LED flash are expected to be housed. There’s ‘Booyah’ text engraved beside the camera module. We can see a few different camera module sketches beside the central design, which are possibly prototype designs. We don’t get to see the front of the phone but it’s not hard to guess there will be a corner hole-punch camera.

The Realme 9 Pro+ Free Fire Edition will come with the same set of specifications as seen in the standard model.
