realme 3i: Pros & Cons

Pros
The Realme 3i has a unique design with a matte finish paint job. The processor can chug along for most day-to-day tasks and offers excellent battery life. There is a dedicated microSD card slot, too, for those who don't want to lose an option to expand storage space while using two SIM cards. A planned upgrade to Android 10 is coming in 2020.
Cons
The screen could have had better resolution. It still uses the old microUSB port and it lacks fast charging.
Verdict
The Realme 3i offers a unique look with matte finish paint. While its screen resolution appears low, it also serves as an advantage in terms of battery life as the Helio P70 doesn't have to push as many pixels to drive the HD screen. Its cameras are nothing to write home about and the phone still uses the old microUSB port for charging. At least it comes with dedicated microUSB and dual SIM card slots and it will receive the Android 10 upgrade in 2020. Realme 3i is not a bad phone but it doesn't get our whole-hearted recommendation either.

realme 3i Details

Design
Realme is known for delivering exciting designs at a budget price and the 3i is not going to be an exception. The phone comes with a diamond pattern inspired back. Like most modern phones, it comes in gradient colors. On top of that, the device's glossy finish reflects the light in a unique way. All these factors make the Realme 3i look more expensive than it actually is.
Display
The Realme 3i features a 6.2-inch HD+ screen. With the resolution of 720 x 1520, the phone offers a pixel density of 270 ppi. That's not very sharp, but should be fine for a budget device. What's more important however is that the Realme 3i's display is an IPS (In-Plane Switching) type, which offers better color reproduction and wide viewing angle compared to regular LCD screens. The display has a waterdrop notch to accommodate a front-facing camera. For protection against scratches, the display comes with a layer of Corning Gorilla Glass.
Performance
At the heart of the Realme 3i is Mediatek's Helio P60 chipset. This 12 nm chip comprises of four Cortex-A73 cores clocked at 2 GHz and four Cortex-A5 CPU cores also peaking at 2 GHz. For gaming, it relies on the Mali-G72 MP3 GPU. The phone comes in 3 GB and 4 GB RAM versions. Based on the variant, you will get to choose between 32 GB and 64 GB internal storage. Plus, you can expand the storage further via the microSD card slot. Moving onto the software bit, the handset will run Android 9.0 Pie out-of-the-box with Realme's ColorOS on top.
Cameras
The phone features a dual camera set up at the back. It has a 13 MP primary RGB sensor with a 2 MP depth sensor to keep it a company. This will enable users to try a hand at shallow depth of field more commonly known as background blur. The camera will comes with features such as HDR and AI scene recognition. It comes with an LED flash but lacks any kind of stabilization technology. The front-facing 13 MP camera will offer beauty mode.
Battery And Connectivity
The Realme 3i will pack in a 4230 mAh battery. It comes with Realme's fast charging technology. Paired with Mediatek's power-efficient processor, the battery should easily last for over a day on a single charge. The Realme 3i is a dual SIM handset with support for 4G VoLTE. Other connectivity features include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and A-GPS. The phone comes with a 3.5 mm audio jack and a micro USB port.
