While the Realme 6i has been official for quite some time now, the COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly delayed its launch in the Philippines. Fortunately, Realme has teased that the 6i may be arriving in the Philippines on May 13.
The teaser posted on Realme’s official Facebook page shows the Green Tea variant of the Realme 6i. At this time, however, we don’t know yet the official price of the device. We only know that the brand is officially announcing the smartphone on May 13, 2020.
Initially making its debut in Myanmar, the Realme 6i sports a 6.5-inch LTPS IPS 1600 x 720 display with Corning Gorilla Glass 3. The display’s notch allows for a single 16MP f/2.0 front camera while the rear houses a 48MP f/1.8 main camera, an 8MP f/2.25 ultrawide, a 2MP f/2.4 macro, and a 2MP f/2.4 portrait lens.
The Realme 6i ships with a MediaTek Helio G80 with up to 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of internal storage. It runs on Android 10 with Realme Ui and comes with a 5,000mAh battery with 18W charging.
