Earlier this month, realme confirmed that it will be launching the realme 8i alongside the realme 8s in India. Ahead of this announcement, the realme 8s had already leaked in full glory. Now, we also get to learn more about the realme 8i.
Reliable leaker @Onleaks (Steve Hemmerstoffer) has partnered with Digit India to reveal the upcoming realme 8i. The tipster has not only exposed the design of the smartphone via renders but also its specs.
According to the renders, the forthcoming realme 8i will be identical to the other models in the lineup in terms of design. In other words, it will have a matrix camera array design. However, unlike the expensive 8 Pro, the 8i will have a glossy finish but will retain the plastic build.
Talking about specifications, the realme 8i will be the world’s first smartphone with a MediaTek Helio G96 chipset. It will sport a 6.59-inch FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate and a punch-hole at the top left corner.
The device will have a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 50MP primary sensor, a 2MP macro sensor, and a 2MP depth sensor. It will also have a 16MP shooter for selfies and video calls.
Interestingly, the leakster says that it will only have 4GB RAM and 128GB UFS 2.2 storage. But we believe there could be a higher RAM variant as well.
The remaining features of the handset include a USB Type-C port, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a 5,000mAh battery, unknown fast charging, 8.6mm thickness, and 194g weight.
Unfortunately, though we know almost everything about the realme 8i, the phone’s launch date is still a mystery.
