Realme 5 Pro

“It improves on its predecessor in a few key areas, notably its camera, and the more powerful CPU means smoother performance in apps and games. Oppo's custom version of Android isn't the best, though, and while an update to Android 10 is expected to land in February, it's not expected to dial back on the bloatware. You also miss out on NFC, important for anyone wanting to use their phone for contactless payments, and ultrawide camera aside, the other lenses feel a bit gimmicky.”

“The Realme 5 Pro is no great leap forward compared to its predecessor. Nonetheless, it's a very impressive budget device, with an attractive design, strong battery capacity and a speedy processor. It will likely be very difficult to find such value for money elsewhere.”

“The Realme 5 Pro almost feels unfair. You get a quad-camera setup that delivers fantastic quality images and it’s powered by a processor that’s even better than some phones that have a higher price tag. If you’re itching to get your hands on a phone that takes great photos and handles multitasking and gaming with ease, but you’re only working with a budget that’s less than US$ 300, then the Realme 5 Pro is the easy choice.”

“The Realme 5 Pro is a powerful package considering the price for which it retails in the market. In fact, the Realme 5 Pro is now the cheapest Snapdragon 712 phone in the country and should be a very alluring option for consumers who prioritize gaming. The versatile camera with the 48MP Sony sensor in the lead and extremely fast charging are other features to look forward to.”
