Realme is basically a complete newcomer to the smartphone market, but it already has several very popular smartphones in its portfolio. Their products break sales records not only in China but also in India, where the brand is extremely popular.
The manufacturer is gradually bringing its affordable smartphones to us Europeans as well. The same goes for a cheap model Realme 5i with very interesting equipment.
Top low price
Chinese seller Banggood prepared a flash sale for the global version with a really good price! You can buy it in two colors: "Aqua Blue" and "Forest Green".
We recommend transport, of course EU Priority Linewhich is the only one in this case. Although it is a surcharge of € 4,68, you will not pay customs duties or VAT.
Great body and still audio jack
Its dimensions are 164.4 x 75 x 9.3 mm and weight 194 gram. It is made in pleasant color variants. At the bottom is a 3,5 mm audio jack, which some of you will certainly appreciate.
Its thin frames will captivate you, which was also achieved thanks to the so-called drop notch cutout for front camera.
Full HD display and Snapdragon 665
The display has a diagonal 6,5" and the display occupies up to 89% of the front. As is customary in the middle class, we will not find an OLED or AMOLED display here either. Includes Full HD IPS display.
The chipset will take care of the performance Snapdragon 665 with graphics chip Adreno 610.
Own superstructure
Includes superstructure ColorOS 6.1, which is built on Android 9.0 Pie, but has a planned upgrade to Android 10 Q. The superstructure also offers a dark mode, for example.
4 GB RAM also expands with micro SD
Realme 5i is available at 32 GB to 64 GB memory version. There is a possibility of expansion by 256 GB, thanks to the slot for micro SD map.
As for RAM, it offers 3 GB to 4 GB version. This is a type of LPDDR4X RAM.
Large battery and fast charging
Inside is a battery with a capacity of up to 5000 mAh. Due to limitations with the micro USB connector, only 10 W fast charging was achieved.
The connector just mentioned can be a problem for some, but the presence of a 3,5 mm audio jack can be the opposite decision factor.
12 MPx quadruple camera
Realmi 5i is characterized by its four cameras with LED flash. The list of sensors is as follows:
- 12 MPx main sensor, size 1 / 2.9 ″, aperture f / 1.8, pixel size 1.25 µm
