realme 5s Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
3.5/5
Verdict
So should you buy the Realme 5S? As you could have seen from my review, it offers very little incentive over the Redmi Note 8, which a very compelling phone in the sub-Rs 10,000 segment. What you would certainly get in the Realme 5S is a cleaner and ad-free software experience and a larger 5,000mAh battery. Is that really enough to warrant a purchase? Even the borrowed 48MP sensor on the 5S does not appear to have any kind of significant boost over the Realme 5 s 12MP sensor. As of right now, it
Pros
- Attractive pricing
- Massive 5,000mAh battery
- Capable performance
- Good software experience
Cons
- 48MP camera is more of a gimmick
- Macro mode is still bad
- Display isn't the greatest
