Realme 3i: Overview and Specs

The Realme 3i, like stated previously is basically a nerfed down version of the Realme 3 and Realme 3 Pro. It still maintains the beautiful full display look but comprises a bit on the internals and the build materials to cut down the price significantly. While both the Realme 3 and Realme 3 Pro are available at a price tag of 11,000 and 16,000 (for the highest-end variant) respectively, the Realme 3i enters the even lower budget end of the market with an asking price of just 8,000 INR. So, for under 10K, what are all the things you get out of the Realme 3i? The build itself is made out of hardened plastic with a matte finish and a great looking diamond pattern to its back. The buttons are very tactile too. The phone also comes with two nano-SIM slots and an additional MicroSD slot for future expansion. Let’s dive a bit deeper into the internals now, shall we?

Firstly, coming to its specifications, the Realme 3i packs in the MediaTek Helio P60 processor which while isn’t very powerful, is still highly efficient and can perform day to day tasks like media management, app switching, and casual gaming very easily. The display gets a downgrade too, being a 6.20 inch IPS panel with a resolution of 720 x 1520 pixels. While it isn’t AMOLED or fully 1080p, the display is still vibrant and is almost edge to edge with a waterdrop notch to spare in the top middle. The phone also packs in a dual-camera setup on the back with a 13 MP primary shooter and an additional 2 MP sensor for depth sensing. The front camera comes with a generous megapixel count of 13. Lastly, the phone runs atop Android Pie and is backed by 4 gigabytes of RAM and a massive 4230 mAh battery, lasting for hours on a single charge.

What is TWRP and what are its advantages?

TWRP is an abbreviation for TeamWin Recovery Project, and it has been around in the Android development world for ages. It replaced CWM or ClockWork Mod soon after its initial release and now is the number one preferred custom recovery by all enthusiasts everywhere, including me. TWRP has a great touch-enabled graphical interface, which many other custom recoveries simply don’t have to offer. It is also highly capable of modifying any system partitions at will. Easily our most favorite feature of TWRP is the powerful backup and restore feature which allows users to take a complete carbon copy backup of the entire phone, including media, internal storage, system and the data partitions as well. You can use this backup as a source if you ever want to restore anytime in the future with just the tap of a single button.

Having TWRP recovery on your device unlocks a lot of features, like being able to install custom ROMs, root your phone, flash other ZIP files and more. With TWRP in hand, you can even fix your broken system partitions and diagnose exactly what’s wrong with your phone if it has troubles booting up. You can also easily enable ADB to sideload with the press of a single button and pass fastboot commands using your computer. All in all, if you want to install any custom recovery on your smartphone after you have unlocked its bootloader, we highly recommend TWRP due to its outstanding developer support and a list of never-ending features.
