FIRST IMPRESSION NOTES:

• What I first noticed is the design of the phone which is made by Naoto Fukasawa. It comes in 2 colors: White Milk & Green Tea. The "ridged" look gives an optical illusion of looking like a luggage and bigger in size.
• Unlock functions work faster with improved camera and processing functions.
• It looks the same with its predecessors like the Realme 5 at first glance, but changes can be seen with the performance.
• The biggest change you can see physically is the type-C port at the bottom which can be confusing if your are used to other Realme models.
• The new Android 10 Realme UI has added features that gives users more functions to personalize the phone.

The realme 6i is available in 3GB RAM + 64GB storage and 4GB RAM + 128GB storage variants for PHP7,990 and PHP9,990, respectively. On May 15 and 20, customers will be enjoying a price cut of PHP500 on both variants during Lazada’s Flash Sale, which starts at 12:00mn on both dates. 

In conclusion, The Realme 6i comes a great upgrade for a price range less than P10K. The design is captivating as well as the user interface. Greater performance also comes with bigger power and we are happy that it does keep a competitive price to entice more customers. Also during these times where functional phones are much needed than fashionable ones, gives more opportunity for acquire them for practical use.
