Realme launched the Realme 5i in January
and just two months later, the company has announced its successor - the Realme
6i. The Realme 6i is the world's first smartphone powered by MediaTek's Helio
G80 SoC. It runs Android 10-based Realme UI out of the box and comes in two
memory versions - 3GB/64GB and 4GB/128GB.
The 6i is built around a 6.5" HD+
display that has a notch up top housing the 16MP selfie camera - a big upgrade
over the 5i's 8MP front-facing shooter. The back of the Realme 6i, designed by
Naoto Fukasawa, houses a quad setup comprising a 48MP main (upgraded from 5i's
12MP), 8MP ultrawide, 2MP portrait and 2MP macro cameras. There's also a
fingerprint reader on the rear for biometric authentication.
The Realme 6i packs a 5,000 mAh battery
with reverse wired charging support - same as the 5i. But, it can draw power at
up to 18W through a USB-C port, unlike the 5i that charges through a microUSB
port at a maximum speed of 10W.
The Realme 6i comes in White Milk and
Green Tea colors. The base variant with 3GB RAM and 64GB storage is priced at
KS 249,900 (US$ 180/€ 160), while the 4GB RAM model with 128GB storage costs
KS 299,900 (US$ 215/€ 195).
The Realme 6i will be up for pre-order in
Myanmar from March 18 to March 26, with sales commencing from March 29.
