Realme-5i-officially-launched

The Realme 5i has officially launched in Vietnam, with India following suit on January 9. The device is the newest addition to Realme’s fast-growing portfolio.

As the name suggests, the smartphone is a slightly downgraded version of the Realme 5. It still has four cameras in the rear and a massive 5,000 mAh battery. The main difference of the Realme 5i with the Realme 5 is the downsized selfie camera.

The Realme 5i still uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset and an Adreno 610 GPU. It runs Android 9 Pie-based Color OS 6.1. The phone is available in two variants — 3GB/32GB and 4GB/64GB both having triple-sim card tray, with one dedicated for microSD.

In addition, it also features an 8-megapixel ultrawide angle camera that covers 119-degrees field of view. The other two cameras are the 2-megapixel macro lens and the 2-megapixel depth sensor.

When it comes to the selfie camera, the Realme 5i has a downgraded 8-megapixel lens compared to that 13-megapixel shooter of its predecessor.
