  • Massive, 5000mAhbattery
  • Cons
  • Display looks pixelated due to HD+ resolution

Verdict
The Realme 5i misses out on a few basics features such as the USB Type-C port and a Full HD resolution display. If there wasn't any other smartphone that offered a better set of features for the same price, I'd have definitely recommended the Realme 5i. That, fortunately, isn't the case. For the same price as the Realme 5i, you could get the Redmi Note 7 Pro, which offers all the features that the former lacks.
