Realme 5s is an affordable handset that can fit into any type of requirement. This new model has some exciting improvements when compared to its predecessor Realme 5. Perhaps the company’s most inspiring mission is to compete directly with one of the most popular and average ranges of cell phones.

However, it all depends on the type of user, as this mobile phone features very high specifications and is offered at an appropriate price. This has a mid-range chipset from Qualcomm and has been used on several budget handsets in the past.

The new 5s is running the latest operating system that is known as Android 9 Pie and it is based on ColorOS 6. The specs and the design of the phone are very attractive and will be a budget phone as well. Even though it is a slightly older chip, it is still considered to be among the best budget SoCs available for Android devices.

Using the phone under direct sunlight is not hurting, as because of the satisfactory brightness levels. The location of the buttons and the camera module is the same as other Realme phones. There is a quad-camera setup at the back which is aligned vertically.

The LED flash is placed next to the camera module. On the back is also the fingerprint sensor to unlock the device. Realme 5 also supports face-unlock as a security feature. It comes with a good set of the camera which can be ideal for photography lovers without burdening pocket capacity. There is a strong processor that can deal with gaming or another usage while the battery is also massive to produce power for more than a day.

There is a pixel density of 270 PPI which can provide a decent viewing experience. The smartphone features a 16MP and 2MP rear camera that can capture good pictures whereas a 13MP front lens can click remarkable images.

Our suggestion:

In the term of multi-tasking, mobile android phones require extraordinary RAM and processor specifications. The processor is appreciated, but the RAM is not enough for smooth multi-tasking. So, we recommend a 6 GB RAM instead of 4 GB.
