realme Narzo 50i

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.
