Realme 5i has been introduced in the market at a lower price than the already available Realme 5s, Realme 5, and Realme 5 Pro. With the launch of this new device, it is being seen only as an alternative to Realme 5.


 On the phone, you get good features like Snapdragon 665 octa-core chipset, large 5000mAH battery, reverse charging support, quad-camera setup. So should you buy this phone? Let's look at the first impression of Realme 5i:

Realme 5i: Design and Build

When you look at the phone, it looks like Realme 3i because the texture of the back panel is largely the same but slightly different. Aqua Blue variant looks a little shiny and Aqua Green will also be liked by some users.

Design and Build

Adopting the modern trend, Realme 5i has entered the market with a design that young people like. The front has a thin bezel with a mini-drop notch. On the rear, like other phones of the series, the quad rear camera setup and fingerprint sensor have been given, which can be used easily.
The phone has a dedicated card slot as well as a micro USB port at the bottom, besides an audio jack is also available.
Overall, the phone looks quite good according to its design and we do not see any particular shortage of any kind.

Realme 5i: display

Like the previously launched Realme 5s, it also has an HD + resolution display. Looking at the price, it can also be said to be correct. But we use a lot of sharp screens, so the softness of text and image can be seen here, but the normal user will not see this difference.

The default calibration is quite good and under the display settings, you are also given a warm-cold slider. You can easily read on the display even in outdoor.

DRM L3 certification has been given on the phone, that is, you cannot stream HD content, but once again looking at the same price, you can also ignore it.

Realme 5i: performance and software

Realme always gives a lot of priority to performance and in the case of Realme 5i, it seems to be true. The Snapdragon 665 octa-core processor is given to you on the phone with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage option, which can be called a much better combination than this part of the price range.
For now, the device has not been fully tested but we expect it to perform well compared to other Snapdragon 665 chipset phones.

 The phone runs on Android 9 based Color OS 6, with which Color OS 7 update will also be given soon. For now, it is not clear whether this new Realme UI will be like stock Android or something different, but the discussion has already started regarding the addition to the user interface.
The 5000mAh battery is also provided in the 5i which also proves to be a big feature. The large battery is able to give you a long backup easily. The charging of 10W seems a little low with such a large capacity battery, but looking at the price, you can consider it perfect.

Realme 5i: Camera

We do not expect much from the camera segment in all the phones with affordable prices as average output is sometimes seen in phones priced higher than this. On the back of Realme 5i, you have been given the same camera setup as Realme 5, in which the 12MP primary camera has 8MP wide-angle and 2MP macro and depth sensors.

 On the front, the phone has an 8MP selfie camera, which is less than Realme 5, so nothing can be said about its performance bar.

Realme 5i: First Impression

If we say that the device is used for the first time, then Realme 5i has features like good design, good chipset, good RAM, and storage options which help to prove it a good device according to the money.
A large battery is also provided in the phone, which users like in this price segment also like. For now, we cannot clearly say that Realme 5i will be a perfect device. After doing some more tests on the device, we will update the article with our final verdict, stay tuned with us !!!
