It’s Official: Realme 5i Launching in the Philippines Very Soon

Realme 5i Coming Soon to the Philippines

As confirmed by Realme Philippines’ Facebook page, Realme 5i is going to be locally available very soon. To give you a quick refresh, it’s a Realme 5 with a cleaner design finish but with a smaller 8MP selfie camera. However, it’s still the same Snapdragon 665-powered phone with quad cameras. Realme 5 is already selling for at least P6,990, so it’s interesting how much the company will sell the other variant that’s priced at  VTD 3,690,000 or ~P8K price tag in Vietnam.
