The Realme Narzo 50i is a budget-friendly smartphone that offers decent performance and features at an affordable price point. Design-wise, it has a polycarbonate back with a textured pattern design that's not too smudge-prone but can attract dirt on oily hands. The camera module is sleek, and the phone lacks a fingerprint scanner. The display is a 6.5-inch IPS LCD screen with a 720p resolution, which is good for indoor use but not ideal for outdoor visibility. It also has a single rear camera, an 8MP shooter that can produce sharp images but struggles in low-light conditions. The front camera is a 5MP sensor that takes decent selfies with vibrant colors. Performance-wise, the phone runs on a UniSOC SC9838 processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB storage, making multitasking and heavy gaming challenging. It also has a large 5000mAh battery that can last up to two days on moderate use, but charging it takes around 2-3 hours. The phone comes with Android 11 skinned with Realme UI Go Edition, which is simpler and easier to navigate than the standard Realme UI. Connectivity options include dual-SIM, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, and screencast. Priced at around PHP 6,290, the Narzo 50i offers a good balance of performance, features, and price. However, it faces stiff competition from other budget smartphones that offer better performance and cameras for similar prices.

The phone's screen is also impressive, featuring a high-resolution display (1440x720 pixels) protected by hardened glass. The Armor X8i runs on Android 10 OS and features an octa-core processor with 3GB RAM, ensuring seamless app switching and smooth performance. With 32GB of internal storage, users can enjoy a wide range of apps without worrying about space constraints. Additionally, the phone supports up to 256GB of expandable storage. The Ulefone Armor X8i also boasts impressive battery life, powered by a 50-80mR battery that promises long hours of work, leisure, and outings without interruptions. The device's design is equally impressive, with an anti-slip texture on both sides of the frame, making it easy to hold and maneuver. Other notable features include face recognition and fingerprint unlocking for secure payment and access control, as well as support for four mainstream satellite navigation systems (GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo) for accurate positioning and navigation.
