In the beginning of September the Realme X7 and Realme X7 Pro debuted in China, and two days later the company also brought the Realme 7 and Realme 7 Pro in India. Now, a new device called Realme 7i is expected to join the midrange lineup.
The phone will be introduced in Indonesia with Snapdragon 662 chipset, and those that want to know more about its hardware can tun in to the livestream, scheduled to begin at 6:00 AM UTC or 13:00 WIB.
The Realme 7i has the overall looks of a Realme 7 smartphone - four cameras in an L-formation on the back, a punch hole on the front, big screen with slim bezels. However, this device was seen with a fingerprint scanner on the back and we know it will have a Snapdragon 662 chipset. Other leaks say 8GB RAM, 128 gigs of storage, and a 6.5 LCD with 90Hz refresh rate.
What we dont know, and will finally learn at the event, is the price of this phone. Given the Realme 5i and Realme 6i, both were sold in Indonesia for the equivalent of $140, we expect the Realme 7i to pursue a similar price point.
Nigerians and busy body. This pilot by name Chika died in an helicopter crash in Lagos. Not just that he died, but emptied the fuel tank while on air so that the helicopter would not catch fire and harm more people when crash landed. No one is celebrating him but thousands of Nigerians have flooded their timelines and Whatsapp status with the picture of Chadwick who died in a far away land.
Every dead person supposed to be celebrated for sure but WE MUST FIRST CELEBRATE OURS because charity begins at home.
Let's eschew Hypocrisy and 'I want to belong' syndrome because it will do us no good. How many times have the Whites celebrated with us both in good and in bad?
The people(IPOB members) that were killed in Enugu last week, how many persons talked about it not to talk of talking about the thousands of Nigerians that are been butchered everyday in Nigeria.
We are always noisy and as well too busy doing nothing.
