Realme 6i in new Blue Soda color variant released, will be discounted on Shopee 6.6 Sale

Just before the Lazada Bounce Back Sale 6.6 kicked off last night, realme Philippines made a surprise announcement that basically no one saw coming. The brand just released a brand new color variant for its latest realme 6i budget gaming smartphone offering. The said device, in addition to the previously released White Milk and Green Tea versions, is now also available in Blue Soda. 

This Blue Soda model of the realme 6i also follows the same design inspiration of the first two models which are beloved beverages, this time from sweet and fizzy soda. Like the other two, this one was also personally designed by industrial design master Naoto Fukasawa, the same genius behind the realme X series Master Edition design. 

"The color blue has always had a transcendent appeal because of the serenity, coolness and sophistication it represents. We know that many of our fans continue to rave about the coloways of the realme 6i, thus we are happy that we are adding the realme 6i Blue Soda to the current variants available in the Philippines," shares the VP for Marketing of realme Philippines Austine Huang. 

Apart from its new Blue Soda paint job, all the features and specs of this realme 6i model are the same as found on the previous two. On the inside, it is still powered by the latest MediaTek Helio G80 processor. Camera offerings remain the same at 64MP quad rear camera set-up with 16MP selfie snapper. In terms of RAM and internal storage configuration, this will also be available in two variants - 3GB+64GB and 4GB+128GB. There is still the massive 5000mAh battery with 158W fast charge tech. 

Pricing and availability

The good news? The pricing is still the same. The 3GB+64GB for Php7,990 and the 4GB+128GB for Php9,990. This will also become available at realme's Lazada and Shopee online stores as well as at realme concept stores and retail partners nationwide.
