    Dudenoway, 29 Sep 2021First. There was no helio g90 on the list. Second only real... moreGPU wise counts. Also, it has more optimized process. It would be an utter failure if it can't defeat the Helio G90 line.

    Sadly seems that you bought an Helio G96 chip and lives on hard denial.

      Are there any sites you can ship this phone from India to elsewhere globally?

Second only realme 6 wiht helio g90T managed to get a slightly ier score in gpu for some reason prob cuz gpu is weaker. Otherwise it outporfmed even the dimensity 800 800u in multi core test geekbench.

            zodiacfml, 29 Sep 2021current pricing from Amazon india makes this more expensive... moreI'm pretty sure on amazon India its extremely expensive. On flip kart it's less expensive by quite alot

And they aren't fake cameras they work like macro but it has bad quality but a telemcaro 5mp with af is actually usefull. Depth sensor is used in portrait to help in subject separation. Although they are useless I do agree a higher res would be nicer but what do you exlect

                Looks like the 50MP Samsung ISOCELL JN1 Sensor lived up to the hype and delivered! We can only imagine what this thing can do when it's paired with a powerful phone and a strong chip

                  Mobile design is very good
                  But don't like cameras chipset is not 5G phone
                  Back design I like it 18 w charging no fast charge

                  I need minimum 30 watt charging
                  800 u chipset diamondCity
                  Same design no problem

                    "Macro: 2 MP, f/2.4; Depth: 2 MP, f/2.4."

                    I would not buy the phone for this alone. Lack of the ultrawide camera I can understand (it's a budget phone after all), but adding two fake sensors just to have "more cameras" is pathetic, laughable and disgraceful. Phone is an absolute garbage in my eyes for having these sensors.

                      current pricing from Amazon india makes this more expensive the Poco X3 Pro. if we follow the MSRP, this is only tiny bit cheaper but Poco has vastly faster more efficient SoC with a larger camera sensor. I don't know what to say to Realme and this review.🙄

                        AltairG, 29 Sep 2021GSMARENA, why you state on beginning that G96 in this phone... moreThat's not how GPU power works

                        The dimensity 800 has more cores than the 800U and the 800U outperforms in graphics power

                        Also I see where GSM is coming from because this g96 has new Valhalla architecture...

                            Anonymous, 28 Sep 2021realme 6 has splash resistance why not this one? otherwise ... moreJust my guess, but likely the correct reason: Cost cutting to maximise profit. But the 8i is still much better than the anaemic 7i.

                              Why do all Chinese phones give weird ISO numbers?

                                GSMARENA, why you state on beginning that G96 in this phone would be an upgrade and more improved than G90T/G95 ,heck even from GPU naming its so obvious it weaker than both of those, Mali G76 with 4 core beat easy Mali G57 with 2 core only. Are you being advertise here , GSMARENA?? This is disapointing

                                  G96 with only 2 cores on gpu?
                                  If mediatek would have been placing 4 gpu cores inside.
                                  it would have been really great budget gaming chipset.

                                    Another day, another Realme phone.
