Realme Philippines just launched a new camera-centric mid-range phone, the Realme 8i.
The Realme 8i was introduced abroad back in September. It carries an ultra-sharp 50-megapixel main camera, which is similar to what a lot of competing devices have. It’s joined by a macro lens and a depth sensor.
Under the hood, it’s powered by a gaming-centric MediaTek Helio G96 processor, which you can pair with either 4GB/64GB or 6GB/128GB of RAM and storage. Of course, it has virtual RAM expansion that gives an extra memory boost by borrowing from the storage.
It also boasts a fast 120Hz display, and a generous 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging. The fingerprint sensor is on the side, which also works as the power button, for a cleaner look at the back.
The Realme 8i has a starting price of Php9,990 for the 4GB/64GB model and Php11,990 for the 6GB/128GB. They will have a Php1,000 early-bird discount once they become available in Lazada at 12 AM of November 17. It will also be available in physical stores and dealers nationwide.
