Realme 5 overview


The Realme 5 features an updated crystal pattern on the back and retains the polycarbonate build and lamintaed plastic back panel of its predecessor. The phone has is a little heavy at nearly 200g and features a big 6.5-inch HD+ display. The low resolution isn't a huge issue as colours and brightness are still quite good. The Realme 5 has a slot on the side for two Nano-SIM cards and a dedicated slot for a microSD card. 
It runs on ColorOS 6.0.1, which features a flatter and simpler looking interface, closer to stock Android 9 Pie. You get a bunch of cutomosation options too such as gestures and shortcuts. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 665 SoC and comes in three varaints. The top-end version which we reviewed has 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. App and gaming performance is good.
The Realme 5 has four cameras at the back, which is the first phone to have such an arrangement under Rs. 10,000. Besides the primary camera and depth sensor, Realme has also added a wide-angle and a macro lens, which are useful. The 13-megapixel selfie camera also has electronic stabilisation for videos. The smartphone comes with four rear cameras featuring normal, wide-angle, macro and portrait lenses. The configuration is 12-megapixel sensor (with PDAF, f/1.8 aperture, HDR, Nightscape, Chroma Boost), 8-megapixel sensor (f/2.25 aperture, 119-degree field of view), 2-megapixel sensor (f/2.4 aperture, 4cm focus distance), and 2-megapixel portrait sensor (f/2.4 aperture). On the front, Realme 5 has a 13-megapixel camera with AI Beautification, HDR, Panoramic View, and Timelapse support. Overall, the cameras perform well. 
The Realme 5 has a 5000mAh battery, which easily lasts for a day and half or even more on one charge. Unfortunately, fast charging isnt supported. Overall, the Realme 5's base variant (3GB of RAM, 32GB of storage) offers the best value at Rs. 9,999 but even the 128GB version at Rs. 11,999 is still good value, considering the overall package.
