Realme 5i - the next member of the Realme 5 series family gearing up for debut
1. Design
In terms of design, the fourth member, Realme 5i, doesn't differ much from its predecessors - Realme 5, 5 Pro, or 5s. The front features the familiar Infinity-V 6.52-inch borderless screen with a notch housing the front camera. However, users may notice that the 'chin' of the device seems slightly thicker than the other edges.

On the flip side, the rear is designed quite simply with the Realme logo, a quad-camera system, flash, and fingerprint sensor button. In this version, users have two color options - leaf green and sea blue. The diamond-cut effect, present in previous generations, has been omitted.
Users will have 2 color options
Physical buttons like volume controls and power button remain in their positions. A small but highly appreciated detail is the fingerprint sensor button's placement, not too high, making it easier for users to operate, especially those with smaller hands.
2. Configuration
Empowering this phone is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 AIE chip, an advanced 8-core processor. With 4GB of RAM, it meets the demands of daily basic usage. The default 64GB internal storage, expandable up to 256GB via a Micro SD card slot, ensures comfortable storage for all your content, information, and important images.
Impressive configuration for the price
The default operating system for this Realme product is Android 9.0, with the exclusive ColorOS 6 interface.
The battery inside this device boasts a whopping 5000mAh capacity, ensuring it meets the demands of your full day of usage. Despite the massive battery, the overall device maintains a slim and balanced profile with dimensions of 164.4 x 75.6 x 9.3 (mm).

3. Camera System
Despite being in the budget segment, the camera system of this device is carefully invested in. Specifically, the quad-camera setup includes a 12 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultra-wide-angle camera, a 2 MP macro camera, and a 2 MP depth sensor for portrait shots. While the main sensor may not have the highest resolution compared to other smartphones today, overall image quality remains excellent, with balanced details, colors, and brightness that are pleasing to the eye.
The rear camera system performs admirably
The selfie camera has seen a reduction in resolution from 13MP to 8MP compared to its 'predecessors.' However, the integration of intelligent AI beauty technology allows users to effortlessly capture high-quality selfies without the need for third-party software intervention.
