Merely a couple weeks after the launch of the Realme 6 and 6 Pro in India, the Chinese giant has unveiled the Realme 6i in Myanmar today. It’s the latest, more affordable addition to the Realme 6 series but doesn’t cut back on the feature set. Realme 6i is the world’s first phone powered by the new MediaTek Helio G80 chipset.
Starting off with the design, the company has built upon its existing Realme X Onion and Garlic Master Edition variants (created by Japanese designer Naoto Fukasawa) to offer a more premium look and finish to this budget phone. But it still boasts a plastic build, along with a vertical camera setup and physical fingerprint sensor on the rear.
Realme 6i comes equipped with a 5,000mAh battery, which is huge and should last the whole day quite easily. But, the highlight here is definitely the 18W fast-charging support and USB Type-C port onboard. Its predecessor has the older microUSB port, so it’s good to see Realme picking up the pace.
Realme 6i has been priced at KS. 249,900 (around Rs. 13,000) for the 3GB+64GB base variant and KS. 299,900 (around Rs. 15,700) for the 4GB+128GB base variant. It will be up for pre-order starting tomorrow, March 18, and the company is bundling Realme tees and a mini Bluetooth speaker with all pre-orders.
