Just a couple of weeks after the launch of the Realme 6 and 6 Pro in India, the Chinese giant unveiled the Realme 6i in Myanmar today.

There are also benefits to using this brand, such as realme tricks.
Realme 6i is the first phone in the world powered by the new MediaTek Helio G80 chipset, so you will have to pay attention to its Benchmark and Antutus, compared to others in its range.

Starting with the design, the company has built on its existing Realme X Onion and Garlic Master Edition variants (created by Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa) to bring a more premium look and finish to this budget phone.
But it still features a plastic build, along with a vertical camera setup and a physical fingerprint sensor on the back.

The onboard display features a 20:9 aspect ratio, 89.8% screen-to-body ratio, and 1600 x 720p resolution. But obviously there's no 90Hz refresh rate support, which is fine at its price point.

There's also a 16MP f/2.0 selfie lens housed in the waterdrop notch, at the front.
Battery
