The version of the Realme Q5i smartphone with 6 GB of RAM features a SWOP option. Similar to Windows OS, where you can increase RAM capacity using ROM. Convenient for multitasking with dozens of applications – switching between programs is instant. This trick does not work in games, as the processor’s power is insufficient.
Despite being in the budget segment, the smartphone has Hi-Res Audio certification. While the speakers do not sound perfectly clear, they are better than all competitors priced up to $300. This is already a significant indicator for audiophiles. By the way, the wireless sound quality is also very good. You can listen to your favorite tracks without DAC devices.
