Review
Pros
Realme 8i have Mediatek Helio G96 gaming processor, which is good in its price segment, it has 5GB dynamic RAM support, althrough virtual RAM are not as much better as normal RAM. 120Hz IPS LCD display with brightness control upto minimum 1nits. This is very good things which help to use Realme 8i at night or in very deam light. Camera is basic, as all other smartphone have in this price segment. Performance has been improved with this new processor and gaming experience is also improved.
Cons
Realme 8i doesn't support 30W charging, it would be better if it had 30W support. It looks little bit over priced for 6GB, 128GB varient as per its specifications.
Conclusion
Realme 8i is very good smartphone although, it don't support 5G and 30W charging. You can buy 4GB, 64GB varient but, for 6GB, 128GB, I will suggest you to explore other options like Poco M3 Pro, Realme 7, Realme Narzo 30 5G or other smartphones which has same spec's as Realme 8i 6GB varient, but also support 5G or other features.
