Reviews for the Realme 7i

77.2% Realme 7i Smartphone Review - Cell phone for little money with real triple cam | Notebookcheck
The realme 7i is currently the cheapest phone that the Chinese manufacturer sells in its 7 family. You get a triple camera, where all lenses can really be used, and a huge battery. Is that enough for a recommendation?
Realme 7i Review – A Budget-Friendly Smartphone with Astonishing Features
Source: Phone World English Archive.org version
I will give 4.5/5 in the affordable smartphones category. Realme 7i s a beautiful handset with all premium features at a very affordable price value. It has a massive battery, fingerprint scanner along with quad-camera lenses. All the features and specs are brilliant and it is one of the best budget phones under 40k.

70% Realme 7i review: Good but Realme 6i a better deal
Source: India Today English Archive.org version
Realme has created some really good phones in the past, which I do not hesitate recommending to my friends and family but with Realme 7i, the company seems to have gone into overdrive. I cannot find the right word to say this, but what comes to my mind is irrelevant. Realme 7i does nothing extraordinary over Realme 6i, except for having some glorified specifications on paper. Of course, that difference is justified with the Rs 1,000 price gap, but I think you will get a better deal by spending that Rs 1,000. Chuck that. Realme was selling the Realme 6 for the same price as the Realme 6i in recent sales and this offer might return. So, if you are, anyway, going to spend that Rs 1,000, why not spend it on the more capable Realme 6? But if you are short of Rs 1,000, Realme 7i is a decent phone for its price that you can buy for Rs 11,999.

Realme 7i Unboxing, Review: 90hz for the Budget-Conscious
Source: Unbox English Archive.org version
As the most affordable variant under the Realme 7 series, the Realme 7i is set to disrupt the budget segment with a number of compelling features headlined by its copious amount of RAM and a 90hz display. The lack of 4K video recording and debatable performance of the Snapdragon 662 might turn off some people, but the Realme 7i is the ideal phone for those who want that smooth 90hz refresh rate while having a great battery life.

Realme 7i Full Review – What was Improved?
Source: Manila Shaker English Archive.org version
In general, it has 90Hz, it has 5000mAh large battery, this device wasn’t made for heavy gaming but for multitasking and browsing with ease. It is not dedicated to gaming anymore, but it can play medium on PUBG, in short, it can do casual gaming. It has better multitasking though thanks to more ram offerings, faster UFS 2.1 storage, and although 4K resolution video is a bit on the downside on its camera, 1080p quality is still for social media.

realme 7i Review
Source: Yugatech English Archive.org version
The realme 7i is coming out strong with a PHP 11,990 price tag, considering that it has 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. We’ve been using this device for about two weeks now, and so far, we like it. From having a smooth 90hz refresh rate, a 5,000mAh battery that can last the whole day without charging, plus an 18W fast charging capabilities, and a decent set of cameras with 64MP sensors, the realme 7i indeed is one of a reliable device.

Comment

ARM Mali-G52 MP2: Integrated mid range graphics card with 2 clusters. ARM states that the G52 series is 30% faster and 15% more efficient compared to the G51 series on the same process node.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


Helio G85: ARM based octa-core SoC with 2x big ARM Cortex-A75 cores at up to 2 GHz and 6x small and power efficient ARM Cortex-A55 cores at up to 1.8 GHz. Integrates a Cat-7 (DL) / Cat-13 (UL) LTE Modem (4G), ARM Mali-G72 MP3 GPU and a ARM Mali G52 MC2 with up to 950 MHz.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


6.50":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.


73.95%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
