Hi guys, I am Mayank. Today I am gonna review realme 5 smartphone which I got in 2019. So lets begin.
Realme 5 is a decent looking device with all the features one can demand these days. Look and feel is of a mid range device though it comes at a low mid range price tag, I liked everything except for power and volume button press feel, I dont know but it feels a little bit loose and doesnt give a good tactile feel, other than all this the device feel solid and of a god weight. The screen is of good size of 6.5 inches(16.51 cm) bezel-less display with water drop notch. It has nice colors with good amount of contrast and brightness. The viewing angles are also very clear but become hard to see in bright sunlight even in full brightness.
Comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 Octa core Processor and 3 GB RAM with 32 GB internal storage, expandable upto 256 GB, It has quite good amount of RAM and ROM to go with even if you are a hell of a smartphone gamer.
Comes with a micro usb charger instead of usb c charger is a bit of a disappointment for me as it is 2020 and usb c is a must nevertheless the charge time of the 5000 MaH battery in real world is of 2 hours and it lasts upto 1 day with normal usage and light gaming. Under heavy load this time decreases to 4-5 hours approx.
Talking about the camera, the back provides a quad camera setup with 12+ 8+ 2+ 2 MP configuration . The front offers 13 MP setup. So, all in all it means that you can click really good photos and selfie with this one.
The final verdict will be: Its a good device overall providing good value for your money. You can go for it but I would suggest to take a look of its elder sibling realme 6 and Xiaomis "non note" series(8th generation and above only). They are also VFM.
