There are two color options (Ocean Blue, Forrest Inexperienced) available to choose from.

Not only that, the Realme 5i can withstand minor everyday accidents by providing three layers of splash resistance from the inside out. The glue splash-resistant design adopted by realme puts all components under special protection.

The holes and crannies on a phone are very important in a splash resistant design. The splash-proof treatment for the headphone jack and USB port is integral. There is a rubber sleeve used to cover all holes which can prevent liquid seepage. In addition, vulnerable openings such as the SIM card slot, battery cover, component connectors and other openings are sealed with a splash-resistant foam ring so that no liquid can seep into them.
