Despite being a young brand, realme has managed to continuously set the bar of price to performance with its portfolio of smartphones.
It’s as if they know the closest to perfect formula of capturing the interest of their target audience, with every single release, and that’s despite the existence of hard competition.
Sporting a new SoC from MediaTek, the realme 6i is their newest offering for those who want a can-do-it-all phone without crossing the PhP10,000 price tag.
