Realme 7i: Design

Realme has expanded its affordable Realme 7 series in India with the launch of the Realme 7i. The device brings along gradient rear panel and is announced in three different shades. The rear panel has a rectangular module on the top-left that houses an L-shaped quad-camera setup. The device also has a physical fingerprint scanner at the back panel which is circular.  Moving to the front, the smartphone sports a tall 6.5-inch LCD display that has a 90 percent screen-to-body ratio. The display has an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels and 20:9 aspect ratio. The important thing to notice here is that the display delivers a standard HD+ resolution but still offers a higher 90Hz refresh rate. This will enhance the viewing experience on the budget smartphone.

Whereas, for the top model which has 4GB RAM+ 128GB storage configuration, you just need to shell out just Rs. 1,000 extra. This variant would cost you Rs. 12,999, which in our opinion makes more sense. The device can be bought in Fusion Green and Fusion Blue colour options.
