Realme 5 - User Reviews

  • Redmi Note 7 is better but it has a lot complaints. Redmi Note 8 is much better than Realme 5, but both of these two phones are bad for gaming. I would recommend Redmi Note 8 if you don't play games. If you do, Realme 3 will be better but it doesn't record good videos.

  • I bought 4gb / 64 blue. love it no problem at all. no touch issue at all.

  • Realme 5 128gb

  • Realme 5 or Redmi Note 7 or Redmi 8??? I need help

  • Nah... Realme 2 Pro has really good cameras. There is a huge difference in their apertures.

  • SAR Values For This Model Is H :1.180 B : 0.631

  • Does this phone have noise cancellation mic??

  • Picture taken by the Realme 5 factory camera does not indicate gps location even if the gps is enabled during picture taken. GCam does not has such issue.

  • Is realme 5 brightness less clear compared to realme 2 pro? Low brightness of realme 2 pro is better than realme 5 - is it true?

  • This is a very good, I want to really like it and to say that this is the best phone I've use so far since I never had flagship phones (except for iPhone 3Gs and the first Galaxy S) but this phone is having an occasional touch issues like you need to press the screen the second time to response, this is getting annoying specially when you're playing games. Overall this phone is supposed to be a beast specially on gaming and its monster battery life just except for this touch issues that I'm hoping to be fix in the next update.

  • I love this model unit..long lasting battery and very friendly use. for me it worth for the price of 7,990.00. I will recommend this to my friends.

  • Best phonenin this price very good battery timing good processor speed too good camera but only OS needs to release new updates best phone in this price

  • Blue

  • which colour is good to get?

  • 3 days after full charge still getting 18% battery left...just the usual sms, few calls, all time fb/messenger, mp3's, & YouTube..this 64G variant's priced @ PhP7,990 worth the price because I am into battery perf. & screen size specs

  • Which colour amongst the two available is better and attractive? Also, should I really go for this phone?

  • I bought this device on 27 October and now it has been almost 5 days gone i am using this device as my daily driver but there are some problems in it which think can be fix with an OTA update. 1. Touch response is not good. 2. Its battery not last long even 2 full days while i am a mediocre user of mobile no gaming etc. 3. Recent apps doesn't clear all the time you have to clear some apps like FB,WA or Insta by manual. These are my findings in this phone hope so it will be okay in future updates. Although this 3 problems this mobile phone is a beast.

  • I bought the realme 5 because of the battery performance and it can connect to 5GHz wifi! I don't care too much about the camera but I did experience some touch issues. Its not ghost touch that some people have reported but I find myself having to tap on a letter on the keyboard or certain part of the screen two times to interact with my finger. Still usable but I hope an update comes out that can fix it. (Hoping its not a hardware issue). I switched from Samsung Galaxy J6+ and gaming was an issue for me. On the realme 5 no issue at all. I can play NBA2K20 on settings that the J6+ can never play on without lagging. I know charging takes long but if you can use the phone the whole day and worry about charging it over night, thats good enough for me. Overall I can say I am pleased with the realme 5 although it has some things it needs to be fixed or worked on by realme. If you are coming from a High Quality phone down to realme 5, truth is you will be disappointed in some things. I came from a phone that costed me 10K and down to a 7K phone I can say I am pleased. Everyone is different so some may disagree with what I am posting but hey whatever makes you happy.

  • You should buy Realme 3. This phone has bad performance. Its camera can't be called good by any means, but it's OK because it supports Gcam. 1. Ultra Wide angle camera only works if you enable it. And it only works for pics, not videos. 2. Macro camera also only works if you enable it and works alone. It has no real use and hardly takes better pictures than a phone that doesn't even has it. 3. Depth sensor is only for portraits. It helps edge detection while blurring the background in pics.

  • Relme 5 display touch is not so good

  • But I am facing it's touch problem

  • Go with 4gb 64gb variant

  • Why you need to do that... You have ample amount of storage...

  • Fantastic smart phone & it's battery backup is also best

  • How to move app in sd card in realme 5

  • Can i buy that phone that have a 3gb ram and 64 gb internal storage??

  • Yeah You can buy it.... I'm using this phone and it is pretty good....

  • Im happy with realme 5 the battery with save mode can last more than 10 hours .. from 8am till midnight still has 20% balance

  • I Think I Should Buy It....Shouldn't I? Especially When They Are Giving 4 Cameras In This Budget.

  • ...the phone allows 30-60 FPS without gfx tool IN SETTINGS. Why don't you play on Ultra HD, hm? Just because you selected 60FPS in gfx tool doesn't mean you're actually getting 60FPS. Even if you lower graphics and set FPS to 60 with GFX Tool, it still wouldn't be able to pull 35FPS in TDM. Do you get it now? You can try a working FPS counter to check. This phone is not for games. At all. Its performance is worse than any SD 660, Helio P60, P70 or Kirin 710 phone. Maybe after a year, some games will be optimised for it properly but it doesn't look good since SD665 has been already around for about half year now.

  • If you know about gfx tool than why u keep talking about being stuck at 30fps. Cause I play at 60fps on my phone with all settings unlocked with gfx tool. U know nothing!!

  • oh dude 165mm tall & micro usb no thx

  • Why do you think we don't know about gfx tool? No one is complaining about unlocking HD Graphics. We're talking about poor performance. If you play on Balanced graphics, it struggles to get 30 FPS in Classic Mode. Playing TDM requires 40+ FPS. No one plays on HD when your FPS are this bad.

  • Redmo note 8 Vs realme 5

  • Does Realme 5 support 5 Ghz wifi signal?

  • For those who keeps whinning about poor pubg graphics on sd665 phones, install any pubg graphics tool from play store. Run it...unlock hd and above options...set FPS at max possible. Then run the game. There in the game setting u LL fine all the graphic options unlocked. Thats how to manually optimized a game when Game Dev fails to optimise it, thereby hiding the real potential of sd665.

  • It is not that sd665 just can't handle 30fps in pubg. The fact is pubg is not yet optimized for 665. however it can be manually optimized through any pubg gfx tool. Download a gfx tool and unlock hd+ option and set FPS at max and see for yourself how it runs. Call of duty (battle royale mode) has even higher graphic settings and runs pretty smoother on 665 than in 660. So obviously 665 is much better than 660 for gaming. Just because it can't run an un-optimized game properly doesn't mean it is inferior.

  • Use AIDA64 which is great... I have tested almost all apps and AIDA64 is the only one which will show you the right informations...

  • In the CPU-Z app, the nanometer showed 14nm.

  • Go for realme 2 pro.Realme 5 is not good display, touch problem and camera is not good as realme 2 pro.

  • Realme 3 is better than realme 5 for photography.

  • Snapdragon Adreno 530*

  • Snapdragon 530 or higher*

  • Yes, especially if you install Gcam on Realme 3. With Gcam Realme 3 captures sharper pictures & better details than 16MP camera phones, like Huawei Y9 Prime 2019. My friend and I compared. Only department Realme 3 lacks in is Eis, but there are apps for that.

  • Fortnite is only supported on Snapdragon 710 onwards and similarly powerful chipsets from Kirin, Mediatek and Exynos.

  • Realme 3 is better choice for photography .video camera is only better Realme 5. Macro photography is not good on Realme 5. Auto focus is not good to realme 5.

  • Realme 3 is better camera for steel photography but video camera is not good. Realme 3 is better for selfi. Night photography is well in realme 3. Overall Realme 3 is better choice for photography. I have used both model.

  • I agree with you. Touch problem occurs when typing.Some time need double touch on a letter.

  • Why does this phone does not support Fortnite? Is this phones processor or what?

  • Definetely Realme 5 but if you care about design and looks go for m30 which only 110k below antutu score Realme 5 score almost 140k.. So in terms of performance R5..

  • Your right... Its not the chipset its the game itself

  • Realme 3. Any phone with Helio P60, P70, Kirin 710, SD 660 is better for gaming than Realme 5 or any SD 665 phone. But if possible, go for SD 675+ (except SD 820, 821), Kirin 960+ or Helio P90+ phones for significantly better gaming experience.

  • Only in Eis and battery. Realme 3 has better performance, built quality and indoor camera quality.

  • SD 665 has been around over half a year and still pretty much no major app has been optimised for it. Maybe in 2 years? And it's not just the absence of HD. It can't pull 30FPS on even Balanced Graphics of PUBG.

  • This better than RN8 a huge jump from Realme 3

  • Im a xiaomi fan but this phone is better than rN8 48mp is just number. Nightscape is better than nightmode plus the eis which redmi note dont have its also smoother in interface and i have to admit the 13mp front camera of redmi note 8 is just the same of rn7 its sucks in indoor . micro usb its just fine for its the price its cheaper thn note 8

  • Plastic body @198gm? They hv got to be joking... It's just too heavy! Their design team had better buck up.... the same goes for xiaomi where their phones are getting heavier for no good reason

  • Galaxy M30 Better. Amoled Display, Full HD, Type C, Fast Charging, slim, Better build quality, better OS, Better Brand, Better grip, light weight.

  • All those whining about PUBG not running in HD on Realme 5 (Snapdragon 665) that's because PUBG hasn't been optimized for this processor yet. It's not the issue of phone but game. Wait for the new game updates and you will see the option to play in HD.

  • MIUI 10 in Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 already fully optimize. By using the same price (or almost the same), Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 give you a FHD+ display, with Gorilla glass 5 on the front and back of the phone. The main camera of Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 is 48MP. And the phone is given a 18W USB Type C charger in the box (some countries are given a 10W USB Type C charger). Realme 5 give you a HD+ display, with Gorilla glass 3+ on the front of the phone. The main camera of Realme 5 is just 12MP only. And the phone is given a 10W micro USB charger in the box to charge the 5,000mAh battery. The phone does not support 18W or 20W charging. Still using a micro USB charger in 2019/2020? I don't think it is an update from Realme 3.

  • usb type c is fast charging but in different aspect such as gaming performance and quality for using a camera.

  • Based on antutu benchmark which tested by some of the tech reviews,they have almost equal scores with their gaming performance because they have both the same chipset such as snapdragon 665. The performance while multi tasking maybe realme 5 has gain much more velocity since 720p screen display is lighter than 1080p screen display of Redmi note 8.

  • hmm... maybe its not all in aspect coz the redmi note 8 is not fully optimize for a new software and not so polish maybe the pro has an improvement.Realme 5 from Realme 3 much made a huge upgrade, improvement and it's worth to buy which has a value for money with better specification for the price point.

  • Realme 5 or samsung m30 ?

  • Since both phones have a same processor, Qualcomm Snapdragon 665, I believe Xiaomi Redmi's MIUI can have smoother experience when playing the game compare to Realme 5 Colour OS.

  • can anybody help me to get rid of this banner pop up notification during hotspot running

  • Which phone is better realme 5 or Redmi note 8 that can run asphalt and pubg with high quality.

  • tell me real me 3 or real me 5? for pubg

  • Been using the phone for a week. Cannot use keyboard when connecting to bluetooth, not so smooth when typing, not suitable for online games. Definitely will change phone when I have extra cash. 👎👎

  • SD 665 is just unoptimized for the time being, if anyone willing to trust that update will fix this performance issue, this phone (or any SD 665 phone) will work just fine. In the meantime, just stick on Smooth graphics.

  • lol have fun lagging on Balanced graphics of PUBG. SD 665 is weaker than SD 636

  • Realme 5 is much better for gaming..

  • Why Redmi Note 8 is "MUCH BETTER"??? tell me you points that you said that Redmi Note 8 is better...

  • Nope it doesn't support fast charging

  • Redmi note 8 much better

  • Is it supporting fast changing or not

  • Yes, it has very fast face unlock

  • yes.

  • Is it have face unlock?

  • Good Performance

  • If you love playing games then realme 5 is way better then Redmi Note 8 because both phone have same processor but realme 5 has HD+ Display which gives better gaming experience

  • Redmi Note 8

  • Real me 5

  • Realme 5 or Redmi note 8 I don't know what phone is the best budget phone for gamers

  • Fast

  • Nokia 7 Plus just became cheaper and it's so much better you won't believe it. It has FHD display while Realme 5 has HD display. So its display quality is much superior. It has SD 660 and plays PUBG on HD with Shadows and Anti-aliasing enabled smoothly. Realme 5 has SD 665 which lags on Balanced Graphics of PUBG. Don't buy any SD 665 phone if you play games, please. Its camera is already excellent AND you can install stable Pixel 4 Gcam on it! It also has Eis (video stabilisation). In simple words, its camera rivals iPhone 8 Plus and is MUCH better than iPhone 7 Plus. Realme 5 camera doesn't even come close to it. It has many features that Realme 5 lacks, like NFC for using your phone to pay instead of credit card, Telephoto camera etc. It has just about all features of iPhone 7 Plus, which costs 4 times more. It's built quality is like a tank. Its water resistance and crack resistance of screen is much higher than (probably) any other phone you can buy in this price. Realme 5 has low water resistance compared to other Realme phones. Battery is good enough to last 1.5 day on heavy usage. As long as you get the chance to charge it once a day, you'll never run out of battery. Alternatively, you can buy: 1. Asus Zenfone Max Pro M2 which has better performance, has Eis and one of the best battery. 2. Realme 3 which also has better performance and really good battery. 3. Asus Zenfone Max Pro M1 which has best one of the best battery, better performance - but lower performance than ones above (can still handle PUBG on HD) and lacks Eis All of these 3 phones have decent cameras if you install Gcam, but not as good as Nokia 7 Plus.

  • Realme 5 is better and even cheaper

  • Why the phone plays pubg on medium graphics only and there is no high option while in realme 3 it plays it on high ?? ! And the realme 5 has newer and good processer than the realme 5 can someone please explain this!!!

  • Go for Realme 5..

  • Realme 5 or oppo A5 2020 reply fast.

  • There is 3gb and 32gb

  • Sar value high of all Chinese phones.

  • OIS is even missing in some flagship phones (way more expensive)

  • Realme 5 is better.

  • Yow... Its 3gb ram and 64gb internal... There is no 32gb internal

  • Type - C charging port absent!

  • OIS missing

  • Hi what is the SAR values for Realme 5? Can anyone recommend better phone with similar price?

  • Which one good Realme 5 or Zenfone Max Pro M1?

  • No, it's focused at video makers. It has Eis and big battery. It lags in PUBG TDMs on Balanced Graphics. But in Gsmarena review, they said its camera is really bad indoors. So until there is a good Gcam available for it, I highly suggest not to buy it.

  • Worst ever phone to play pubg dont buy n waste ur money better get mi 9t or honor 9x

  • SD 660, Helio P60, Helio P70, Kirin 710 are all much better for gaming and available in same price. Even some SD 636 phones like Asue Zenfone Max Pro M1 can play PUBG on HD smoothly, while Realme 5 can't pull 30 FPS on Balanced Graphics. You can check on YT.

  • I was unable to enable my sms notification as it was already disabled when i bought this realme 5. Any one knows the solution, please let me know.

  • What's better then?

  • You need to search about SD 665. It's the worst chipset for gaming you can buy in this price.

  • Yes

  • This is wifi 5g support?

  • Yes, it can handle mobile legends very smoothly.....

  • is this phone can handle mobile legend with FHR mode? i will buy it for only that game.. and how many ranked match this phone will last? thanks

  • The Mi A2 is using SD660.

  • Yes, you can use dual sim normaly....

  • Can i use dual SIM as normally in this mobile

  • Yes, at low settings. But the real question is if it's officially supported

  • Have you not seen the battery endurance of the Realme 5? Check the gsmarena battery test table. The Realme 5 managed 144hrs of endurance. That's top 4 on the list.

  • Sir, fornite is the only game you know that there a lots of mobile games like Honkai Impact 3rd

  • Which camera is best Between RM3 and RM5 if you don't consider the quad setup of RM5.... Anyone hv idea pls reply... I think RM 5 is taking somehow more artificial colors!

  • What is the sar value of rm5

  • MI A3 is easily better than Realme 5 but both of these phones have Snapdragon 665 which sucks. Snapdragon 660 with Android One would have been amazing.

  • oh man its 164.4mm tall its like a tower also oppo a9(2020) have same size with some change in camera don't go for these mi a3 with 153.5mm size its better choice...11mm lesser don't trick you this 5000mah, be sure this 11mm taller will consume 1000mah battery so easy even mi a3 with 4035 & 153.5mm tall, will keep screen on more than oppo a9(2020) & realme 5 with the price of 4/64 or 4/128 of realme 5, u can go for mi a3(cc9e) but u will have amoled screen...under display fingeprint...usb type c...infrared port...CGG5 protection...18W fast charge...32selfie...a3 also have android one

  • I can tell one thing for sure. Sony XA1 Ultra has much better selfie camera than Realme 3 & 5. The selfie camera specs are fine as they are, but it also offers OIS which makes a huge difference in low light camera performance. However, it has Helio P20. That's a very-very weak chipset. You can forget about playing any game on it, other than likes of Temple Run.

  • I don't know about Sony, but both Realme 3 and 5 have very poor stock camera for lowlight. One thing I can tell you for sure is that you will hate their cameras without Gcam. They're fine in daylight, but in low light, there is inexcusable amount of noise and *very* low details. If you want a comparison, Gsmarena camera review was much more positive about Realme 3 compared to Realme 5. With Gcam, Realme 3 camera works very good in low light. It has LVL 3 Gcam compatibility. The noise is impressively very low and pictures are packed with details. You'll definitely like the pics. There is even 60 FPS video recording for both selfie and rear camera. Other modes are Slow-motion, Nightsight, Lens Blur, Portrait, Panorama and Photo Sphere. The downside is: - Currently, Realme 3 doesn't have a Gcam that supports its full video resolution. It's up to developers. - Secondly, Gcam doesn't work without HDR+ enabled, which takes 2-3 seconds to capture pictures. - There is another Gcam with ZSL HDR option. It captures pics immediately but this Gcam only supports 8MP pictures. The good thing about Stock Camera of Realme 3 is that its video recording is not as bad as pictures. It also offers an Expert Mode, which if you learn to use, will beat Nightsight of most higher priced phones. SD 665 is a new chipset so there aren't many compatible Gcam for it. But Snapdragon in general does have better support from developers than other chipsets due to camera 2API availability and higher number of users.

  • Micro usb in late 2019....

  • Why you want to go for Sony XA1 Xtra?It is about to 2.5year old now.In my opinion Realme 5 is sligtly better then both....

  • If I have to choose between RM3, RM5 & SONY XA1 Ultra which 1 is best in terms of camera specially in low light.. pls reply.

  • Killer phone for xiaomi....

  • Great allrounder. performance is decant, camera is awasome and most important there is no Ads and coloros is very smooth...

  • Best phone in budget.

  • But pubg and asphalt 9 plays very smooth in medium graphics....

  • Best phone

  • The antutu score of realme 5 is 139516 (According to GSMArena)....

  • The antutu score of realme 5 is about 13500+ which is great for gaming And multitasking in budget range....

  • It's lower than SD 660, Kirin 710, Helio P70 and P60. Realme 5 can't play PUBG on HD. There is no option and if you use GFX Tool for HD, it lags. Asphalt 9 lags a lot on high graphics as well.

  • What is the antutu score of Realme 5 4gb ram/64gb rom varient?Please reply anyone as soon as possible....

  • Both are semiler.

  • Sd 665

  • Realme 5

  • Both are bad. Because you'll have to play PUBG on low graphics on both. RN7 has a heating problem so if you must compare them Realme 5 is better. Although, RN7 is overall better (camera). For gaming, Realme 3 is a better option. Or if you don't mind smaller battery, then Realme 2 Pro offers better camera than all of them, same performance as Realme 3 and the display is FHD.

  • Lags in Asphalt 9. Can't play PUBG on HD either. There is no option to play on HD.

  • What is Sar value of this phone?

  • Gamers, don't buy this phone! It's a downgrade from Realme 3. The only upgrade is video stabilisation (Eis) and a poor ultra wide camera. Realme 3 vs Realme 5: 1. Performance: Realme 3 is better. (i) Realme 3 handles PUBG smoothly on HDR Graphics (GFX Tool). Realme 5 can only run it on low graphics. (ii) The Benchmark scores of Helio P60, P70 & SD 660 are higher than SD 665. (iii) Games have to be optimised for chipsets. Currently, SD 665 can't play any heavy game on high graphics. Its performance is same or worst than SD 636 for now. 2. Battery: Realme 5 is better (small margin). (i) Realme 5 battery lasts only 30 minutes longer than Realme 3 in PUBG. (ii) Both phone needs to be charged after 2 days, so we can ignore the difference. Zenfone Max Pro M1 & M2 offer 2-3 day battery timing if you want that. 3. Quality: Realme 3 is better. (i) In drop tests, Realme 3 didn't suffer any damage from 10 feet drop. It's the strongest phone from Realme so far. (ii) Realme 3 screen is more scratch resistant than Realme 5 in scratch tests. (iii) Realme 5 quality is still good, but fitting of its parts is very lose. - Its screen displaced from its frame in durability test. - Made cracking sounds in bend test. - In a different durability test, its camera lens got displaced from its frame. 4. Selfie camera: Realme 3 is better (small difference). (i) They have *same* selfie camera, but due to bad optimisation, Realme 5 selfie camera doesn't work good in low light (inside house). (ii) In daylight, they're the same. 5. Back camera: Realme 5 wins (i) Realme 3 offers slightly better picture quality. - Realme 3 offers sharper images due to +1MP, while Realme 5 offers tiny bit more details due to +0.012 aperture size. (ii) Realme 5 offers Eis (video stabilisation) which Realme 3 lacks. It doesn't work good but something is better than nothing. (iii) Realme 5 has ultra wide angle camera which is very wide. However, - It doesn't work for videos, only pictures. - The picture quality of ultra wide camera is very poor. I would only use it for landscape shots of sceneries. Not group pictures. (iv) Realme 5 might offer higher FPS slow motion than Realme 3, because SD 665 supports up to 120 FPS video recording. (v) Realme 5 has macro lens, but it doesn't have any real life usage. And it's very difficult to get pictures focus. They mostly turn out shaky.

  • No!!! That's wrong! Snapdragon 665 is way worse than 660! In fact, this phone can only play PUBG on low graphics!!

  • Yes Snapdragon 665(Adreno 610) is powerfull then Snapdragon 660(Adreno 512) because SD 665 is made by 11nm process and SD 660 is made by 14nm process...

  • The 12mp sensor is sony imx 586....

  • 12 mp senser means....is it imx 586 or other???

  • Yes it is compatible.

  • Is this phone compatible to use in other countries??

  • Wow... it is nice phone.its camera is awasome.I bought 4gb ram/64gb rom modal.

  • Realme 5 is better then Redmi note 7/7s because they have not any spamy adds and they have not heavy MIUI which is effects phone's performance, it feels laggy. and COLOR OS is near to stock android,which feels smooth then MIUI.So COLOR OS is better for phone's performance and gaming.

  • Realme 5 is better.

  • It's battery backup depanding on your usage if you are a heavy user then 1day backup and about 20% left and if you are general use then 2day backup...

  • It is bulky and thick because it has 5000mah battery.

  • Yes Realme 5 inside Adreno 610(SD665) is more powerfull then Adreno 512(SD660)...

  • It's written in the specs

  • If you're getting both on same price, then redmi note 8 is better. It charges faster. Has infrared port. Has better main camera with better slow motion mode. Has better display. In comparison, Realme 5 has better battery and performance thanks to bigger battery size and lower resolution. Also, Redmi Note 7 performance was extremely bad. It played PUBG on low graphics, battery would last 4ish hours, would heat up and had built quality issues. Redmi Note 7 is the only Snapdragon 660 phone that plays PUBG on low graphics. If redmi note 8 has same problem as Note 7, then I highly suggest you don't buy it.

  • Nope.... Lots of realme stooges active seems , promoting its

  • Thickness: 9.3mm, it is bulky and weight about 200gram.Why Realme???

  • How is battery backup of this mobile???

  • Is Adreno610(SD 665) is more powerfull then Adreno512(SD 660)?

  • 165mm be like a tree with Realme5

  • Redmi note 7s only thing that is better on realme 5 pro is that wide angle camera

  • Still no full hd in 10,000 inr..price will fall to 8500 sooner

  • Silver is superier.

  • Silver is superier.

  • Don't know the exact clock speed but the previous generation had a clock speed of 600mhz so i think the adreno 610 will have a clock speed of 800mhz

  • Whats is superior silver or gold ??

  • Hey, Hello I M Mak. Can u please tell me in this phone the adreno 610 ? What is Clock speed of its GPU ?? Please,,.........

  • Which is better for gaming and photography and long term use - (1)Realme 5 (2)Redmi note 7s please suggest anyone......

  • This is no pun, this is tablet! O3O

  • Realme 5 can play pubg in smooth graphics and high framerate because realme 5 has no hd graphics and no ultra framerate on smooth graphics

  • Really too big. Smartphone companies should begin making pocket friendly smartphones under 150 mm. We should buy a smart tv instead of this phone.

  • Really, oh come on VOC fast charger is so damn fast, 4025 ma on real me 3 pro just lest for one hour, for fast chger and camera it is better than Samsung a50 and redmi note 7 pro, but the GPU it self weak than A50 and redmi note 7 pro

  • Why is that a problem? More than half of the world uses micro USB phones. They charge just as fast as Type C in most cases and even faster in some cases.

  • What chipset does it have? What are its camera aperture and um? Infinix doesn't make powerful phones as far as I know. The camera are average at best.

  • two cons too big 165mm(its too close to tablet size).i cant put it in my pocket & after a while must put glassess on my eyes....under 153mm ok... its medicore why its too big like a tree usb type c

  • This phone take 3hrs to charge don't waste ur money instead go for Galaxy A20, Galaxy M20 or Moto G7 Power

  • Micro-USB in late 2019, really?

  • realme 5 micro usb charging is bad not fast charging

  • Wtf . What a waste screen size? Betuer to be 6 ". Rest all acceptable.

  • Infinix Hot 7 is batter than realme5 Infinix Hot 7 come with 4GB RAM 64 GB ROM 13+2 MP Front and Back Camera, 2.3 Ghz Processor, 4000 Mah battery at Rs.7999/- only

  • Of course, Mi A3 is better. But it's in price range of Realme 3 Pro which destroys it easily.

  • Keep dreaming.

  • 200 gm. Heavyweight with just 269 ppi...very ordinary . Fair price 8,000 inr

  • Realme is better than Redmi

  • Amoled and 48 mp cam in mi a3. Two extra features are stock android and instead emmc storage in realme 5, mi a3 has ufs 2.1 storage

  • Cam is best in realme 5. And good Battery.

  • And mi a3

  • Redmi note 7 is better

  • Wow,such A Nice Phone....I'm Impressed.Hope This Will Come To BD Soon...The Sooner,the Better.

  • this newly released smartphone might just be the best (BUDGET) smartphone of all time... And jerryrigeverything might just do a durability test on it...

  • wow this phone actually really good for batteries and gaming, I'll take this instead hahaha

  • Just charge overnight, no big deal, really what matters is that the battery is huge, it won't die on you like an iPhone 6s.

  • At this price point is 720p fair play, maybe get something with a smaller screen for better PPI.

  • 6.5 inches screen at 720p...terrible.

  • USB 2.0!!! What a joke 😜

  • It is "Real" competator for Redmi note series......Realme 5 Best phone ever in its price range.

  • Wow....Wow...

  • Wow....Realme 5 has 6.5 inch screen, 20:9 ratio and 5,000 mAh battery, it'bigger than Realme 5 Pro, but camera Realme 5 Pro indeed is better than Realme 5.

  • 6.5 inch 720 x 1600 screen 20:9 aspect ratio? That's too bigger than Realme 5 Pro

  • Realme 4 was skipped because Number 4 is considered unlucky number in China like Oneplus 5

  • Thats weird for Realme 5 it has 6.5 inch screen for 720p resolution and sd665. While Pro version is smaller screen with 1080p and SD712.

  • 165mm heigh size & 5000 battery doesn't keeping screen on more than 4000 battery phone

  • Indian currency? That's new! (I hope I don't look stupid when they change the currency to Euro)

  • I'm sorry, I was mistaken. Realme 3 Pro and Nokia 8.1 cost more. However, they're better than Realme 5 Pro. This phone is best in this price in the history of smartphones and I highly recommend it. I know almost everything about phones, from every single thing that's in your camera to every chipset user in phones and have deep understanding of Android software/Kernel. I can even make a 1Ghz single core processor phone with 512MB RAM capable of playing Asphalt Nitro and N.O.V.A Legacy without lag. Believe me, you will not find a better phone than this in $140 (till you reach price of Nokia 8.1 and Realme 3 Pro).

  • You don't know anything about phones, do you? This phone is 300% more powerful than all of those phones, has better camera and battery as well. Secondly, there isn't a single Galaxy A series or Motorola phone worth buying. Galaxy M series are only good for battery and nothing else. But yes, there are better options. In this price, Nokia 8.1 and Realme 3 Pro have much better performance and cameras. Nokia 8.1 has excellent battery endurance, which will most likely beat its 5000 mAh battery because Color OS is heavy like MIUI.

  • Maine first comment dala nice looking mobile

  • 5000mah battery, wow!

  • micro usb...

  • Better options available Galaxy A20, Moto G7 Power, Galaxy M20 with USB type C

  • 5000 mAh battery is great. So is BlueTooth 5 & 6.5" display, but why are they making a already tall device taller -give it some width please (~80mm) How about Notification LED & USB C!
