Realme 8i

The Realme 8i is another competent addition to a somewhat crowded budget smartphone series. Here's our full review.

Strong display for the money ; Competent main camera ; Two day battery potential

No 5G ; Only 18W charging ; No ultrawide camera

The Realme 8i is another competent addition to a somewhat crowded budget smartphone series. Its large, fluid display and large battery are stand-out components, though a lack of 5G and slow charging means you should carefully consider your priorities.

Realme 8i Review: What can you expect from a budget phone at the tail end of 2021?

The Realme 8i is perhaps not the first phone you'd think of when looking for a decent mobile camera, or to play games, but you might be surprised to learn that it can do both pretty well.

Large, 120Hz refresh, display with bright and vivid colours ; Respectable performance from primary camera ; Smooth operation and long battery life

Besides main camera, other cameras are near useless ; No 5G, limiting future-proofing ; Not initially available from UK website (but can be imported easily)

Realme 8i review

The Realme 8i is the most affordable smartphone within the entire Series 8 so far, but it is also shaping as the most intriguing offer among its peers....

Eye-catching design.

No splash resistance.

But hey, for as little as INR 13,999 or $190, the Realme 8i offers great design, screen and camera, and won't disappoint you with performance, connectivity and even speaker quality. If it ticks the right boxes on your checklist, the Realme 8i is a...

Realme 8i Review: All-Rounder on a Budget?

Realme 8i starts at Rs. 13,999 in India.

120Hz display ; Powerful processor ; Good battery life

Average camera performance ; Preinstalled bloatware ; Spammy notifications

The Realme 8i has been launched in the super-competitive sub-Rs. 15,000 segment in India, and has to fend off a lot of competition. What's more, that isn't limited to other manufacturers, since Realme itself sells multiple smartphones in this price...
