Realme 10 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Realme 10 - beautiful stagnation

A significant number of fans of mobile electronics are accustomed to the fact that each subsequent generation of smartphone lines is better than the previous one in literally all respects. However, such a trend, unfortunately, is not always seen in the products of the Chinese company Realme. So, the hero of today's review of the moment is even simpler than his successful predecessors.

The appearance of the novelty has undergone changes in a positive direction. The design of the dual camera is stylish in a flagship way, the colors of monoblocks have become noticeably more original. The thickness of the frames has not changed, and the case itself is made of inexpensive glossy plastic. The material quickly collects not only fingerprints, but also scratches. For some, a side fingerprint sensor will be a plus instead of a sub-screen counterpart, which is distinguished by higher accuracy. The 6.4-inch AMOLED display is brighter than IPS panels and is not inferior to them in picture clarity at FullHD + resolution. Also, the AMOLED screen is able to boast a 90-Hz refresh rate, a complete protective film.

Don't worry about the technical specifications either. The MediaTek Helio G99 processor has not lost its relevance even for economical gamers. Its combination with 4GB / 8GB of RAM and the Mali G57 MC2 video accelerator is suitable even for many demanding games. Even today's popular Undecember and Genshin Impact will be among them, although the graphics settings will have to be cut to the minimum parameters. Even in the basic configuration, the buyer will get an impressive 128GB of ROM, expandable with MicroSD cards. Claims are unlikely to appear in terms of autonomy, because the battery capacity was 5000 mAh. This value is enough for a couple of days of active interaction with the compact assistant. Fast charging at 33W ensures that you need to spend just over an hour at the outlet.

There are so many good words not to say about photo opportunities. 50- and 2-megapixel photomodules, led by the budget Samsung JN1 sensor, do not impress even with daytime shots. The detail of the pictures is average, sometimes there are noises, errors in color reproduction, although the overall impression of the photo is not bad. The deterioration of the lighting leads to the appearance of many blurry objects. The 16-megapixel front camera is surprisingly ready to capture hundreds of eye-pleasing selfies. Owners of wired headphones will be happy with the presence of a 3.5mm jack, but at the same time, the only speaker is characterized by low volume and lack of bass. As for other competitive advantages of the phablet, their list will include NFC contactless payments and fresh Android 12. As a result, the gadget cannot be considered unsuccessful or uncompetitive, but one would like to see more impressive products from such a talented and eminent developer.
