Realme 8I a mobile that changed the range of screens by price
The Realme 8i is the new mobile from the Chinese manufacturer that shows what is conceivable when we have a fairly strict economic plan.
The 200 euro / $ mental frontier is one of the most significant on the market ; Not surprisingly, it is below that figure that brands such as Redmi, Motorola or Realme itself put a strong effort, with models with everything that we could require in a cutting-edge mobile.
Currently, we can add the Realme 8i to that list of devices. With a price of 199 euros / $, it is the least expensive model on the market, which is usually a notch below the GT range, for example, the recently shipped Realme GT Master Edition.
More than what is expected for a mobile like this and its price
Try not to let the cost fool you. In this scope we are starting to see mobiles with exceptionally amazing specialized elements, for example, the new Xiaomi Redmi 10, of which this Realme 8i is an immediate contender.
To attract customers in such a cutthroat market, Realme has gone all out on two main points of view for customers: the screen and the cameras, which are of a higher level than we might suspect, continually taking the cost into account…
This Realme 8i is one of the few mobiles in the area with a 120 Hz screen; That by itself makes it stand out from the rest of the contenders, since, until recently, we had probably only seen 90Hz displays.
High resuscitation rate displays are becoming increasingly commonplace, however the faster ones are still elite for high-end models.
Naturally, the screen is configured to change the recurrence accordingly depending on our needs, changing between 30, 48, 50, 60, 60, 90 and 120 Hz; in this way, it does not eat up as much battery as if it were constantly 'full', although in the settings we can make it generally be if that does not matter to us.
We would have liked the chance to see a bit more differentiation, especially in boring scenes, however the 650 nit splendor is adequate for most circumstances and recordings and games look respectable. The edges are thick, particularly at the base, however it is not irritating once we get used to it.
As much as we remember its limits, it is a presentation that we can appreciate in the absence of a difficult situation.
Adjusted components
A more meaningful perspective for getting a decent customer experience is on the processor; a 120Hz screen is pointless if everything is "anxious".
Luckily, that's not the situation with the Realme 8i, due to the included Helio G96 processor. However, for typical use, it is adequate. As I said, no strange jumps are seen while we are in the exchange between various types of applications.
What is astounding is to see an acceptable execution in the requested applications with a range like this and at this price, for example, in games.
I had the opportunity to see a gameplay of a round of Genshin Impact which is a game that asks a lot, without a difficult situation, and with a good image quality, much more than I can say for other phones focused on a range of value lower.
The Realme 8i is a decent laptop to appreciate the warmth of sight, sound and games, as long as we use headphones.
We only have one inherent speaker, and it's pretty awful, to the point where I saw how the sound 'cracked' when they put the volume to the extreme. In any case, we have a 3.5 mm sound jack to interconnect the headphones, as is normal in this scope.
Great main chamber
The truth is that much was not expected from the cameras of the Realme 8i when we saw the four openings on the back of the gadget, perhaps due to the fact that we are burned from modest phones that put numerous sensors that we later cannot use in view of the poor quality they have.
So it's been a blast to see that each aperture serves a purpose (truth be told, the fourth is really brightness and not a sensor, despite what it may look like). The star is the main camera, with a 50 MP sensor from Samsung with an f / 1.8 aperture focal length.
It is not so much that it is an impressive camera, especially if we enlarge the image and look at the subtleties, but for ordinary use it more than delivers.
It is equipped to take great photos of a wide range of subjects and circumstances, although the night mode falls short as is normal in this range of values.
The next sensor is not really a camera, but a 2 MP depth sensor that is especially useful for taking renderings.
Finally, the third sensor is a large-scale camera, and it is almost as useless, of course.
In the event that you try and locate the appropriate lighting and distance, I do not reject that you can take large photos of small things like flowers or surfaces, however, considering that the sensor is 2 MP and does not have auto-adjustment, you will see that it is extremely difficult to exploit.
Much better is the 16 MP selfie camera which, without being astonishing, satisfies your capabilities flawlessly and obviously has delightful channels and improved displays.
Quality balancing
It is a modest versatile, and it shows just by holding it, with an all-plastic development that does not feel pleasant in the hand. Most notably awful, strangely, is the clamor it makes when I overlook it, which is not exceptionally charming.
The rear tries to reflect the styling of more expensive phones, with an exceptionally decent purple punch, however it is unsuccessful.
Also, this laptop gets dirty just by looking at it, and attracts fingerprints like few, both on the back and on the screen, which is covered by a defensive film from the production line.
We basically have some cutting edge niceties, for example the unique brand sensor built into the power button, although oddly enough the volume buttons are on the opposite side, quite a bit lower than I expected to locate them.
In any case, there is very little to say about this plan, and that is presumably intentional.
Overall great on cost
The Realme 8i is an incredible laptop for the 199 euros / $ it costs. Throughout this article, I have re-emphasized the value of a ton, as it is the foundation of this model: offering the highlights at a much lower cost.
The 120 Hz screen, the large processor exposure, and the 50 MP camera are truly amazing angles paying for just that.
All in all, the Realme 8i is an incredible gamble, and it's not hard to foresee that it will end up being another resounding success.
