The high-quality imaging performance lets young Filipinos start taking pro-life shots and develop good content even while staying indoor.

The phone also supports 1080p video recording at 30fps with good details, accurate colors and high contrast even in a low-light setting.
An artwork in itself
Styled to match the trendy aesthetic of the youth, the realme 6i has a classic premium vibe and features two trendy colors inspired by nature: White Milk and Green Tea. The back of the realme 6i has been polished hundreds of times and underwent a unique spray coating process to achieve a matte visual and delicate finish.
The smartphone is designed by industrial design master Naoto Fukasawa, the same genius behind the design of the realme X series Master Edition. Fukasawa, who is also in charge of product development and design at Japanese retail company MUJI, is famous for relatively simple yet striking designs.
