The Best Value Quad-Camera
The 5i’s quad-camera setup is composed of a 119-Degree 8MP Ultra Wide Angle Lens, the 12MP Main Camera Lens, a 2MP Portrait Lens, and a 2MP Macro Lens. This setup is perfect for both amateurs and experts in photography. The smartphone also have Nightscape 2.0 which lets users take excellent night photos with a wider view. The 5i also supports 4k video with 240 fps, slow motion and stabilization.
For New Champions
realme Philippines supports the local gaming scene and aims to make esports more accessible to aspiring mobile gamers. With this in mind, the brand packed the realme 5i with an 11nm octa-core Snapdragon 665 AIE processor. This makes it the first smartphone in the PHP 6k price range to run on this processor.
Complementing the powerful processor, realme also equipped the 5i with a massive 5,000 mAh battery. With this amount of juice, users can enjoy long hours of gaming and entertainment. It is also fortified with fireproof protective separation and triple precautions to guarantee battery safety.
