Realme V5 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Realme V5 - successful start of a new line?

The Chinese company Realmi is rapidly expanding the range of products offered, while the corporation still has much more logic in dividing the model lines than, for example, their main opponents, Xiaomi. So, the hero of today's review should be the foundation of the latest series of smartphones that offer impressive performance for a reasonable price.

The appearance of the novelty is relevant and testifies to the responsible work of the designers of the developer. The design of the four cameras in a new-fashioned rectangle shape, a side fingerprint scanner, small bezels of a 6.5-inch screen with a 16-megapixel front camera in the left corner combine to create a design that will appeal to most of the audience. To reduce the cost, the OGS panel was chosen as the display, but it can hardly be called mediocre. Good contrast and brightness, a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels and an increased refresh rate of 90 hertz make communication with the phablet pleasant and comfortable.

Technical characteristics are also not upset. The processor of the device is a powerful Mediatek Dimensity 720 in conjunction with 6GB / 8GB of RAM and the Mali G57MC3 graphics accelerator. The chip supports 5G networks and today is able to cope with any resource-intensive game with maximum graphics settings. At the same time, the internal storage of 128GB is expanded with MicroSD cards , which should also be classified as an advantage.

The main 48-, 8- and 2-megapixel (pair) photo modules led by the Samsung GM2 sensor are slightly out of the parameters given earlier. The photographic capabilities are far from flagship, you can get high-quality images in the evening, but sometimes you need to make several takes. The battery capacity has reached 5000mAh , there is a quick charge at 30W. The battery with a margin is enough for a day and a half of very active use of the gadget. A separate headphone jack, a solid proprietary RealmeUI shell enhance the attractiveness of the device and increase its chances of gaining bestseller status. Only fans of contactless NFC payments will have to look at other phones.
