With 3GB RAM and 32GB internal storage that is expandable upto 256GB with the use of a MicroSD card, Realme 5 is set to offer you a fast and enjoyable gaming experience while giving you enough space to install as many apps as you would love to have on your smartphone.
The 12MP main camera that comes with the device is what you should check out if you are a picture lover like everyone else on the social media platforms. Especially the 13MP camera at the front which is there to deliver stunning selfies.
Realme 5 also comes with amazing security features like Face Unlock and a Rear Fingerprint Sensor that unlocks very very fast. The added security features are there to ensure no one gains access to your phone anyhow.
The only major challenge Realme 5 users may face is the time it takes to get the phone fully charged. This is because of the fact that the smartphone does not support the fast charging technology that is common with latest android devices.
Apart from the above “disadvantage”, we know that the Realme 5 will be a good buy overall, considering the mid-range features and price. Below are some of the reasons we said that.
Design and Display

[the_ad id=”1694″]
Realme 5 comes with a 6.53-inch tall display with a 2340 x 1080 pixels screen resolution and a sharp density of 395 PPI. The device comes with a bezel-less and notch-less design accompanied by a Gorilla Glass 5 protection.
The charcoal black colour gives the device a very good look, other colours may be available but this is what you can get right here in Nigeria for the meantime.
Camera and Battery
Realme 5 flaunts a quad rear camera setup that contains a 12MP main shooter which has been paired with an 8MP wide-angle lens, a 2MP ultra macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. The cameras are capable of delivering astonishing photographs that you can upload on your social media handles. In fact, the phone is well-equipped camera-wise to compete with the likes of Redmi note 8, or Vivo V15.
At the front is a 12MP selfie camera housed on the waterdrop notch.
The smartphone also flaunts a 5000mAh Lithium-ion battery (non-removable) that is enough for a day’s usage. You will not have to charge it every now and then, even if you are a heavy user.
Hardware and Software

Realme 5 comes with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset and 3GB RAM accompanied by 32GB ROM. According to some sources, its variant will be coming with a 6GB RAM and 128GB of internal storage and may be powered by Qualcomm Snapdragon 730G chipset.
