Top 5 highlights of the realme 7i

Isn't she lovely?

1. Unique, eye-catching design - In a world dominated by either shiny or flat colored devices, the realme 7i sports a more modest yet very attractive design. It has a blue/white gradient that is easy on the eyes. The body is made out of a glasstic material while the frame is made out of polycarbonate. It has a rectangular camera bump at the back akin to premium flagships of 2020.

2. 90Hz IPS screen - It has a 6.5-inch 2.5D curved IPS (LTPS) screen with 1600 x 720 HD+ resolution, 90Hz screen, 269 ppi pixel density, and punch-hole cutout. Yes, it is a 720p screen but we have all seen before that this resolution is still very usable.

The main thing to take away here is the 90Hz screen. A fast refresh rate will be a great addition for gamers as well as for providing a buttery smooth UI navigation. The punch-hole cutout is also a great touch.

The only downside I can see here is its use of a 720p resolution.

64MP quad-cameras

3. 64MP quad-cameras - The realme 7i has a quad-camera setup with 64MP f/1.8 w/ PDAF + 8MP f/2.2 119-degree ultra-wide-angle + 2MP f/2.4 4cm macro + 2MP f/2.4 mono + LED flash. This setup is great with a big main sensor and a myriad of backup sensors for different uses and scenarios. There's a 16MP f/2.1 Sony IMX471 selfie sensor as well.

4. 5,000mAh battery - The 5,000mAh battery will last a long time due to the 720p screen and energy-efficient specs. Yes, 90Hz can be power-hungry but still, 5,000mAh is a huge battery even in 2020. If you need a quick charge, there's the 18W fast charger as well.

5. Decent specs - For performance, 8GB LPDDR4X RAM, and 128GB UFS 2.1 expandable storage. It also has dual-band WiFi, 700MHz 4G LTE, and Bluetooth 5.0.

This can perform comfortably for both gaming and daily multitasking even if it is only using the Snapdragon 662 chipset. The connectivity options are all reliable solutions for fast and stable connections as well.
