Just when you thought that realme wouldn’t launch any more phones, the company goes and does just that! Say hello to the newest member of the realme 8 Series: the realme 8i!
Standout Features of the realme 8i
This smartphone carries a design that’s probably a combination of the realme 6 and the realme 8. Unlike the realme 8 and realme 8 Pro, it doesn’t come with that big Dare to Leap text on the back. It comes in two colors: Space Black, and Stellar Purple. It carries three exciting features: the new MediaTek Helio G96 processor, a 50MP AI Triple Camera system, and a 120Hz refresh rate display!
