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.

The Armor X9 also comes with a range of pre-installed apps, including FM radio and sound recorder, which can be useful for certain individuals. One notable feature of the Armor X9 is its vibration feedback, which can be activated when typing on the phone's keyboard. However, this feature may consume battery life quickly.
