Realme has officially launched the Realme 5i in the Philippines. It’s a budget-friendly smartphone with quad cameras, Snapdragon 665 chipset, and 5,000mAh battery.
This is essentially the same as the Realme 5 but with a different design that lessens smudges and fingerprints. It also has more built-in storage at 64GB but uses an 8MP selfie camera instead of 13MP.
The Realme 5i smartphone has a 6.5-inch HD+ display with a small notch for its selfie camera and a quad-camera setup at the back. It’s composed of a 12MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide camera, 2MP macro camera, and 2MP portrait camera.
It runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset with a 2GHz octa-core CPU, 3GB of RAM, and ColorOS version 6.1 software. There’s 64GB of expandable storage, a fingerprint scanner, and 4G LTE connectivity.
The device is powered by a massive 5,000mAh battery with an estimated battery life of 30 days on standby, more than 19 hours of watching YouTube videos, or 9 hours and 20 minutes of playing PUBG Mobile.
