Realme 7i goes official in Europe; Here's everything you need to know
Read in other languages:
The Realme 7i is now available in Europe for only 159 Euros. The USP of the entry-level smartphone is clearly the battery, which at 6,000 mAh, claims up to 45 days of standby. This puts it in line against the Motorola Moto G9 Power, which is a bit more expensive.
With the 7i, the Chinese manufacturer Realme undercuts the already known announced Realme 7 5G in terms of price. Although you have to do without 5G on the 7i, you can save another 70 Euros.
Key specs: Helio G85 SoC, 4 GB RAM
The Realme 7i is powered by the Helio G85 chip from MediaTek, and also gets 4 GB of RAM. Realme calls the 12-nm eight-core system-on-a-chip a "gaming processor". However, only tests will really be able to show how this will hold up in everyday use. While it will have a tough time keeping up with Qualcomm's high-end chips, the performance is acceptable for the near-150 EUR price tag the phone commands.
The phone gets 64 GB of internal storage that can be further expanded using micro SD cards. The phone also gets a triple SIm slot that can take in two SIM cards and a memory card simultaneously. As clarified earlier, the Realme 7i does not offer 5G support.
6.5-inch LCD panel, quad cameras
The Realme 7i, which weighs around 208 grams, gets a 6.5-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1,600x720 pixels (HD+). The pixel density is thus 270 ppi. The IPS display also offers a standard refresh rate of 60 Hz.
The selfie camera is housed within a teardrop notch and uses an 8-megapixel sensor. This camera can record FHD videos at up to 30 frames per second.
On the back, Realme gave the 7i three cameras that are housed in a small hump. The main wide-angle camera offers 48 megapixels behind an f/1.8 aperture. The ultra-wide-angle camera offers 8 megapixels and an f/2.3 aperture. For macro photography, there's also a 2-megapixel camera with an f/2.4 aperture. Video recording here is good enough for 1080p at up to 60 frames per second.
Realme 7i: Long battery life guaranteed
As outlined earlier, the massive 6000mAh battery on the Realme 7i offers a staggering 45 days of standby time. It is also capable of 117 hours of music playback, 43 hours of calling, and up to 25 hours of video consumption on a single charge. The phone gets an 18W charger in the box. The Realme 7i offers wired reverse charging as well and can e used to charge other devices.
