The Realme V23i is a new 5G phone with all the old specs and features we’ve already seen in tons of budget-friendly 5G smartphones.
With the Realme V23i, you’re getting the ever-reliable but already aging MediaTek Dimensity 700 octa-core processor, which only comes with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage.

We kind of already know what the rest of the specs are. There’s a 6.56-inch display with only an HD+ display but with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate. There’s also the standard 5,000mAh battery, albeit the charging speed was not mentioned.
On the back, we only have a 13-megapixel main camera instead of the usual 50-megapixels. It is joined by a 2-megapixel depth sensor and an 8-megapixel shooter on the front for selfies.

The Realme V23i with the sole 4GB/128GB configuration has a price of CNY1,999 (around Php15,900).
