The more affordable Realme 5 packs a 6.5” display of
HD+ resolution (720 x 1600 pixels), which translates to a 20:9 tall ratio. The device is powered by a
Snapdragon 665 - it is historically the second phone with the 11 nm chipset,
but is first in India, since the Xiaomi Mi A3 is yet to hit the market.
Memory-wise, there are three combinations - 3/32GB, 4/64GB, 4/128GB.
The Realme 5 has a microSD slot that has its
dedicated spot in the SIM tray and not a hybrid layout - that way you can have
both up to 256GB of extra storage and the dual VoLTE experience. The new series is the first for
Realme with four shooters on the back, but the vanilla variant is keeping it
simple - 12MP main shooter with f/1.8 aperture, accompanied by an ultrawide
angle module with 119-degree FoV and 8MP sensor. The last two cameras are a 2MP
macro snapper with 4 cm focus distance and a depth sensor.
The front camera, hidden in the waterdrop notch,
produces 13MP stills. Realme 5 comes equipped with a 5,000 mAh battery, which probably
contributes a huge chunk of its 210g weight. However, it comes with microUSB
port and no fast charging, so you’re stuck topping it at 10W.
Available in Crystal Blue or Crystal Purple colors,
the Realme 5 starts from INR9,999 and will be available on August 27.
