Buying advice for Algeria

Both Realme 16 and Realme Q5i are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Realme 16 packs a 7000 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

Realme 16 reaches a higher main-sensor resolution at 50 MP, which helps with crops and lower-light photos.
