Realme 5i
The Realme 5i was recently launched in India as the replacement to the Realme 5 (covered in a different review). The device seems to offer a few differences that are not too important. Let us see whether this is worth buying.
Design
The Realme 5i comes with the same polycarbonate back as the Realme 5, but instead of the same diamond back design, it comes with a glossy print in two new colours. The device also sports a new feature which is reverse charging similar to the S10+ and Mate 20 Pro, which allows your device to act as a power bank.
Display
The Realme 5i comes with a 6.5 inch display with a resollution of HD+. This is a problem plaguing the Realme number series devices for quite a long time. The display, by itself is not bad, but a FHD+ would have sufficed.
Performance
The Realme 5i comes with the same Snapdragon 665 processor found on the Realme 5. It is similar to most evinces in it's budget with good performance in day-to-day tasks as well as in matters of gaming.
Cameras
The Realme 5i comes with the same quad camera setup with the same primary 12 megapixel sensor, paired with an 8 megapixel ultra-wide sensor and two 2 megapixel macro and depth sensor. The selfie camera is also the same.
Verdict
The Realme 5i comes with a new design and the new reverse charging feature, The device in every other aspect is identical to the Realme 5 which has now been removed from India. THe device now competes with it's older brother the Realme 5s with most of the same specs except the Reverse Charging but with a 48 megapixel sensor. Considering the price of the lone 4GB variant as 9k, if you were to spend your money, I would suggest you to buy the excellent Redmi Note 8 (Also covere separately on Thetechmate.in)
