A year after its launch, Realme‘s low-cost Realme 8i model continues to make waves, and not exactly for the better. Users who are encouraged to try it continue to experience their problems and bugs, both from the first day and as time has passed or after an update.
Realme 8i is a mobile phone with a 6.6-inch screen with a 120 Hz refresh rate, a Helio G96 processor, up to 6GB RAM and up to 128GB of storage. Its main camera is 50 MP and the selfie camera is 16 MP. It has a 5000 mAh battery and 18W fast charge.
Its price is around 200 euros according to its features, so that what on paper is a good mobile due to its characteristics at a low price, in reality it is not so much.
Unsolvable bugs from day one
Many users complain about different problems with their new Realme 8i, such as that it does not identify the fingerprint well or it takes a long time, that they have experienced screen problems , it frequently crashes and shows a black screen when trying to unlock it, it often gets stuck, it is not smooth at all for your memory and apps get stuck, problems with camera and your photos , poor Bluetooth connectivity, WiFi disconnections, etc.
In addition, more than one has complained about the battery, which to be 5000 mAh does not last a day , and that runs out very quickly even listening to music. They may have fixed some of these issues, those who have not chosen to return it directly, although some of them are still there.
There are not a few who continue with their complaints a year later , as is the case of a user who has recently commented on his bad experience with this mobile:
I have Realme 8i. My mobile has too many problems from the first day. Recently the front camera of my phone is not working. I have tried all the steps to fix the problem but it didn’t work. Can my phone be replaced?
More problems since the update to Realme UI 3.0
Realme 8i users are not at all happy with how a mobile is working for them that, although cheap, should offer a good user experience. This is not the case, in fact, not only does it continue to cause problems a year later without these having been solved, but even more can be seen after the update to Realme UI 3.0. What seemed to be good news for users of this mobile has been tarnished considering the experience of many users.
The complaints of the users have not been long in coming , in fact, one declares the following:
There is an update on Realme 8i called Realme UI 3.0 with Android 12, but there are many bugs and issues, such as touch issues, sudden frame drops, high lag, battery drain, voluminous sounds after 1 hour game lag, etc. .
He asks that they solve everything as soon as possible since he has not updated his mobile taking into account all these errors, which are not few.
Realme continues without remedying them
The Realme India team on social networks claimed to have no knowledge or information about the problem , and encourage users who have installed the stable version of the operating system who are aware of one to contact them to verify and help them.
Although this update was presented a few months ago for the model, it continues to present problems that do not seem to be solved. We are not aware of any communication from the brand confirming the existence of these errors and their possible solution, although we hope that they will fix all the bugs of this low-cost model so that its users can finally enjoy an optimal mobile experience instead to be tempted to throw it away.
