Realme had announced the Realme 5i in India and Vietnam back in January as the watered-down version of the popular Realme 5 model. Today, the global variant of the Realme 5i goes on sale via Aliexpress. This particular variant will be shipping out globally to regions such as UAE and Europe for a starting price of $129.99 for its 4GB RAM and 64GB storage variant. The seller is also offering a premium bundle with the realme buds earphone for $144.99.
It looks like the $129.99 price is only applicable for the promotional period (Feb 25-26). One of the images (added above) reveals that the original $162.99 has been marked down to $129.99 for the time being. So the price may go back to $162.99 after the promotion expires.
As for the specs, the Realme 5i comes with a 6.5-inch HD+ display with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset inside and a large 5000mAh battery inside. The phone features a quad-camera setup at the back that houses a 12MP primary shooter, an 8MP wide-angle shooter, a 2MP depth sensor, and another 2MP macro sensor. There’s an 8MP single front camera on the front. As for software, the phone runs on Android Pie based Color OS 6.
