Verdict

The Realme 5 starts at Rs 9,999 and for the price, offers an unbeatable package. From its power-packed performance, to its good-looking design and long-lasting battery life, the smartphone checks all the right boxes. In terms of the competition, the handset faces a stiff battle from the Redmi Note 7S, which offers a higher resolutiondisplayfor the same price.However, Realme s offering more than makes up for its lower-res display by scoring higher in other areas. Suffice it to say, the Realme 5 is a home run from the brand, and it ll find plenty of takers.

    Pros

  • Good-looking design
  • Impressive performance
  • Long-lasting battery life

    Cons

  • Display could've been sharper
  • Selfie camera needs work
  • Ultra-Macro lens could've been better
