As the Realme 6 has gotten expensive due to the recent GST tax hike, the company has decided to launch the Realme 6i in India to once again offer the same 90Hz experience at a more affordable price point. Realme 6i is basically a rebranded version of Realme 6S that made its debut in Europe in May earlier this year. It is similar to the Realme 6, with only a minor camera downgrade.
The design of the Realme 6i is exactly the same as its elder sibling. The difference here being the single-color back panel instead of the dual-tone ones aboard the Realme 6. It features a 6.5-inch Full-HD+ IPS LCD display with a 90Hz refresh rate and 120Hz touch response rate. The screen boasts a 20:9 aspect ratio and 1080 x 2400 resolution. You will also find a punch-hole cutout, housing a 16MP selfie camera, at the top left.
The usual connectivity options, including dual-VoLTE, WiFi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.0, and 3.5mm headphone jack, are present in tow. You get a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, which doubles as the power button, as well.
The 4GB+64GB base variant of Realme 6i has been priced at Rs. 12,999 while the higher-end 6GB+64GB variant will retail at Rs. 14,999 in India. The smartphone will be available in two colorways — Eclipse Black and Lunar White. It will go on sale starting from 31st July, exclusively on Flipkart and Realme’s online store.
