Hey Pinchers! What’s going on?
Welcome to another tech post on this blog. Today I am going to tell you about Realme 6i which already had created a craze in public. So after a number of in depth tests on realme 6i the day has finally come to share my experience so far with this device. So I have done the gaming test and camera test. What I found? Shall I start?
Anyways so I will start off with the display. Well honestly it has been good so far, it is not the best one out there and you cannot compare it with the quality of an amoled of course but you know what for this price having a 90hz display feels good, you will get 60hz lcd from mst of other brands. So this feels refreshing and the colors are quite good on this one. So no major complaints with this one. And this side mounted fingerprint scanner is as fast as it can get for any device at this price. I found it to be even better than note 9 pro max. To be honest, it unlocks everytime and is quite accurate too.
So overall the build quality is also great. The device feels solid in hand and even with a big battery the device does not feel bulky though you should keep in mind that this back panel is plastic and the frame is also plastic. I like that this camera bump is not that huge either and to protect it the supplied case is good enough.
Coming to the camera, we have a 48 mega pixel primary sensor and 8 mega pixel ultrawide and rest of them are namesake 2mp camera’s and I will not cover in depth regarding them. You can watch the in depth camera test by yourself & judge. On the front we have a 16 mega pixel camera. You can see if you click some pictures, it produces some decent results for a budget device. The images shot in daylight look good and crisp and you can manage some really good quality shots with this one. Plus the back camera also has that portrait mode. Also the video quality is perfect. You can see the images look sharp and the colors are good too if not the most natural. It also has that portrait mode and you get some good quality shots in that mode too.
Now coming to the overall performance and gaming. So I did not find any hint of lag or something and as you know this device runs on Realme UI, built on top of android 10 which is not the cleanest and it has a lot of bloatware too. Most of which can be disabled including the ads. However there was no hint of lag in day today scenarios or even while playing pubg for long sessions and you can watch an in depth gaming test here but do note that this device supports pubg in smooth and ultra only. But you can use GFx tool and get around 60fps without much frame drops and the device did handle all the games including pubg really well which I did not expect from a Mediatek processor. So thumbs up for that. And here are the benchmarks scores too.
Coming to the battery life , this device has a 4300 mAh battery and it also supports 30 watt fast charging. Though you will have to buy a 30 watt charger from Realme to get that as the device only comes with a 20 watt charger. The battery lasts easily for a full day on a single charge even with some gaming and heavy usage. So no worries there and you can watch an in depth charging test too. So I will not reveal the time it takes to charge completely ( hint: it is close to 1h ) So in the battery department it is solid too.
Plus it also has a dedicated sd card slot. So you can use 2 sim and an sd card which is really a great thing to have and I had no issues with calls and network reception too. It is just fine with this device plus both slots have volte support. So you can use two 4g sims at a time.
Lastly the speakers & sound quality. In this one speakers are quite decent and get plenty loud though the output does not have much bass to it for day to day usage. They are decent.
To sum up you get a good display, fast charging at 30 watts, good performance and great battery life. So with a mid range price tag, you get a pretty decent package which makes it better than other competitive phones in market. So a good option to buy at this price. And that was it. Stay safe & keep pinching.
