realme 5i Expert Review Summary

Expert Rating:

4.0/5

Kshitij Pujari
by  Kshitij Pujari , 23 Jan 2020

Verdict

With nearly unchanged internals from the Realme 5, and but more RAM and storage for the base variant, the Realme 5i is undoubtedly a compelling phone in the budget segment. The only worthwhile competition to the device is the Redmi Note 8 (review) which is priced higher by a mere Rs 1,000.

    Pros

  • Great design
  • Good performance
  • Battery life is amazing

    Cons

  • Macro mode is a hit or miss
  • The display needs to be better
