Buying advice for Algeria

Both Realme 5i and Realme X are sold in Algeria, but they fit different priorities.

Realme 5i packs a 5000 mAh battery, which translates to longer screen-on time when you are away from a charger.

Realme X reaches a higher main-sensor resolution at 48 MP, which helps with crops and lower-light photos.
