Realme 3i: Affordable smartphone with smudge free design, good performance

Chinese smartphone brand Realme's latest budget offering, the Realme 3i, seems to be a hybrid of the Realme 3 -- in terms of performance -- and Realme C2 -- in terms of design. The Realme 3i has a dual rear camera setup on the back, dewdrop notch display on the front, and an octa-core MediaTek Helio P60 system-on-chip powering the phone. On paper, the phone seems to be a feature-rich proposition. However, like any other phone, it has its strengths and weaknesses. Here’s the phone review:

Design
The Realme 3i boasts the Realme C2 inspired diamond cut shaped smudge free design. The phone’s thin profile and polycarbonate body with micro-pattern gradient design looks sturdy and feels comfortable to hold and operate. The phone has a capacitive fingerprint sensor on the back, which comes handy to unlock the phone using the index finger. On the front, the phone has a dewdrop shaped notch screen with minimal bezels on sides. The phone is neither big nor small and seems to be a perfect fit for single hand operations.
Display
The Realme 3i has a 6.2-inch dewdrop shaped display of HD+ resolution. The display looks vibrant and has decent viewing angles. However, the display panel is not bright, which hampers the screen sunlight legibility. Like the Realme 3, the 3i does not have Widewine L1 certification required to stream video content in high-resolution from over-the-top platforms such as Netflix and Amazon Prime Videos. Read More
