Realme 5i with Snapdragon 665, Quad-Cameras & 5,000mAh Battery Launched at Rs. 8,999

Realme is kicking-off 2020 with the launch of its newest budget-centric offer – the Realme 5i smartphone in India. Information technology expands the existing Realme 5-series from last year, which includes the Realme five, Realme 5s, and Realme v Pro. It was first launched in Vietnam earlier this week and is the spiritual successor to Realme 3i from last twelvemonth. It comes equipped with a Snapdragon chipset, quad-cameras, a large bombardment pack, and more.

Realme 5i: Specs and Features

Let me preface this by proverb that Realme 5i is essentially the same as Realme v with minimal changes on the hardware front. You still get a plastic build but the company is offering a new sunrise gradient design (with a mirror-polished finish), along with 2 new colors on the Realme 5i. Information technology boasts a quad-camera setup and physical fingerprint sensor on the rear.

On the forepart as well, Realme 5i features the same 6.5-inch Hard disk drive+ IPS LCD brandish as the Realme v. It boasts a twenty:nine aspect ratio, 1600 ten 720pixels resolution, and 89% screen-to-body ratio. There's a waterdrop notch up-top, which Realme likes to refer to as mini-drop notch. It now houses an 8MP (f/2.0) selfie camera as opposed to the 13MP sensor on the Realme 5.

It's the Snapdragon 665 chipset that continues to run the show under the hood on the Realme 5i. The visitor now has 3 smartphones – the Realme 5i, Realme 5, and Realme 5s – all powered by the same Snapdragon 665 chipset in the budget segment. The chipset here is paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage, which is expandable upwards to 256GB via the defended microSD card slot onboard.

Realme 5i runs Android 9 Pie-based ColorOS half-dozen.1 and that's disappointing, to say the to the lowest degree, in 2020. I expected Realme 5i to exist the first smartphone to launch with Realme UI in tow but it looks like the 5G-enabled Realme X50 (or the Youth Edition) will be the offset – when they get in in India.

Nothing's changed on the camera front end here. Yeah, Realme is offering y'all the exact same quad-camera setup every bit the Realme v from concluding year. It includes a 12MP (f/1.eight) primary sensor, coupled with an 8MP ultra-broad lens with a 119-degrees FOV, a 2MP macro lens with a fixed 4cm focal length, and a 2MP depth sensor.

Realme 5i comes equipped with a five,000mAh bombardment to provide juice to the device. Information technology'south good to see that the company hasn't compromised on the battery front and offered huge battery packs in all of its Realme 5 variants. Yous get a standard 10W (5V/2A) charger in the box instead of a VOOC fast-charging adapter.

Toll and Availability

Realme 5i has been priced starting at Rs. 8,999 for the single 4GB+64GB variant. It will exist available in two attractive color variants namely Aqua Blue and Forest Green. It volition go on auction starting from 15th Jan on Realme's online shop and Flipkart.

Wrapping information technology up, I see no point in Realme launching the Realme 5i in India, especially when the company already has two similarly-specced smartphones out in the market. It has just made minor downgrades to last year's Realme 5 to brand it slightly more than affordable to the masses.  As we have repeatedly pointed out (fifty-fifty in our contempo YouTube video, which you should definitely check out), Realme is now unnecessarily crowding the budget segment – using a tactic that the company learned from its arch-nemesis – Xiaomi but it has become mindful of its launches, of recent.
