Realme recently launched its first true flagship smartphone, called the Realme X (Review), in India. Alongside it, a new budget offering called the Realme 3i was also announced. This new phone is a variant of the Realme 3 (Review), which launched a few months ago. According to the company, it is designed to fill the price gap between the Realme C2 (Review) and the Realme 3. The sub-Rs. 10,000 phone segment is already pretty saturated with a lot of overlap in prices, sometimes between rivals and at times between models from the same manufacturer. However, in Realme's case, there's currently a small gap between the highest priced variant of the Realme C2 and the base variant of the Realme 3, which is where the Realme 3i comes in.

Realme 3i Summary

The Realme 3i is a budget offering, which slots between the Realme C2 and Realme 3 in the company's portfolio. The phone looks very simialr to the Realme 3, except for the diamond pattern on the back, instead of a glossy finish. The phone is light and built well and weighs just 175g. It's powered by a MediaTek Helio P60 SoC and comes with either 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage or with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. The phone also runs on ColorOS 6, which is based on Android 9 Pie.

General performance is good. Apps run smoothy and the phone doesn't heat up too much. The 13-megapixel rear camera has decently quick autofocus but images are strictly avergae in most cases. Landscapes lack good detail and close-up shots are missing a sense of depth. Chroma Boost is helpful in boosting colours, while Nightscape helps brighten up low-light scenes but there's a lot chroma noise. Battery life is good as the 3i will easily last for a day and half but charging the phone is a slow process.
