Editorial report

Realme Q5i 6 GB / 128 GB / China technical sheet

The Realme Q5i suits buyers looking for a 5G phone with a sharp display, but its camera is the main trade-off. This version pairs 4 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB. Storage is expandable, but the phone has no Google Services.

Its 6.58-inch IPS LCD display has a 1080 × 2400 px resolution and 401 ppi pixel density, higher than that of most phones launched around the same time. The 90 Hz refresh rate, however, is lower than on most of them. Navigation includes GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, and Galileo, while Dual Nano-SIM supports two SIM cards. The phone also has dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.

The 13 MP rear camera is the clearest drawback: its 1/3.06-inch sensor is among the smallest of its time, and there is no optical image stabilization. It records video at 1080p and 30 fps; the front camera is 8 MP. The 5,000 mAh battery supports 33 W charging, both typical figures for phones launched around the same time. The Realme Q5i has an overall NeoScore of 4.8, also typical among phones of its time. It makes most sense for buyers who prioritize 5G and display sharpness over camera strengths.
