The Q5i is the latest affordable 5G smartphone from Realme. It has almost similar specifications with OPPO’s A57 5G announced a week back, offering a Dymensity CPU along with two camera sensors on the rear. On the front, you are getting a 6.58-inches screen, with 1080 x 2400 pixels. The panel is IPS, and it support 90Hz refresh rate.

On the the inside, the Realme Q5i 5G is powered by MediaTek Dimensity 810 octa-core CPU, clocked at 2.4GHz, along with Mali-G57 GPU. The phone has either 4 or 6 GB RAM, paired with 128 Gigs of internal storage.
On the camera wing, the Q5i has two lenses on the rear. These includes a 13-megapixel primary lens with f/2.2 aperture, and a secondary 2-megapixel depth with f/2.4, along with a single LED flash, while the notch on the front houses a single 8-megapixel selfie lens.

Interestingly, the phone is based on Google’s latest Android 12 OS with Realme UI 3.0. There is a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a 5000mAh battery with 33W charger, and a slot that can carry dual Nano SIMs with both 4G and 5G network.
