Smartphone maker realme is yet to finish the rollout of the Android 11-based realme UI 2.0 update for eligible devices. The latest phones to receive this update are realme 5 Pro and realme XT. Both these handsets were released in 2019 with Android 9.0 Pie, and therefore, Android 11 is their second major software update.

According to the official announcement posts on realme Community, the realme UI 2.0 update based on Android 11 for the realme 5 Pro and the realme XT is being rolled out in batches. 

This means the update is only available for a select few users. Anyway, like any other OTA system update, it should gradually reach every user in the coming days.

Having said that, the latest software update for these smartphones arrives with the following firmware versions.

• realme 5 Pro – RMX1971EX_11.F.03
• realme XT – RMX1921EX_11.F.03

Going by realme’s update track record, realme UI 2.0 (Android 11) should be the last major system update for these two phones. But they will continue to receive security patches and maintenance updates for a while.

The realme 5 Pro was introduced along with the realme 5 as the first two quad-camera smartphones from the brand. On the other hand, the realme XT launched as the first 64MP smartphone from realme in India.

The realme number series still exists, however, the realme X series has been now replaced by the realme GT series. The realme 9 series, which has been delayed to 2022, will be the next lineup in the number series.

Since then, the firm has been rolling out beta as well as stable builds to eligible devices. The latest handsets to get beta builds are realme 5 Pro, realme narzo 30 Pro 5G, and realme 30A.

The post Realme 5 Pro and Realme X gets Realme UI update; brings Android 10 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Realme brought an amazing smartphone lineup in Europe in terms of quality price ratio. In the price tag ranging from €150 to €300, you can currently find three awesome Realme smartphones in the global market. We are talking about Realme 5 Pro, Realme XT, and Realme X2. The differences between the user experience provided by these three devices are not huge, but they exist and they may be important for a lot of people. Through this comparison, we will try to help you make the right choice for your needs by highlighting the differences between their specifications.

Oppo Realme 5 Pro vs Oppo Realme X2 vs Oppo Realme XT

Design

Realme XT and X2 offer exactly the same design and it is definitely a superior design if we compare it to the Realme 5 Pro. While the Realme 5 Pro has a plastic design, both Realme XT and X2 offer a glass back, while the frame is still made of plastic. On the other hand, note that Realme 5 Pro is splash resistant, while XT and X2 are not. But if we consider the look, XT and X2 are actually a better choice due to their materials.

Display

Besides the design, Realme XT and X2 share another thing in common: the display. Both are equipped with the same 6.4-inch AMOLED panel boasting a Full HD+ resolution and an in-display fingerprint reader. Realme 5 Pro has a smaller panel with the IPS technology and still a Full HD+ resolution. Given that the 5 Pro has an IPS panel, it does not sport an in-display fingerprint reader, but it has a rear-mounted biometric sensor. In each case, you get a waterdrop notch. Realme XT and X2 offer a better image quality thanks to their better AMOLED panel, so go either for the XT or the X2 if you need the best display.

Specs & Software

The best smartphone of this comparison in terms of performance is the Realme X2. It sports a higher-end Snapdragon 730G which offers better CPU performance and way superior graphics performance. So it is amazing for both power users and gamers. Further, it offers the best memory configuration with up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 256 GB of internal storage. Realme 5 Pro and Realme XT share the same chipset and the same memory configuration in their most expensive variant. And in each case, you get the same software: ColorOS 6 based on Android 9 Pie out of the box. All of these devices will be updated to Android 10 this year and they will get the new Realme UI with several improvements.

Camera

Realme XT and X2 offer exactly the same rear camera department including a 64 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide lens, a 2 MP macro camera and a 2 MP depth sensor. And this quad camera setup is better than the one found on the Realme 5 Pro. Note that Realme X2 and XT differ for the front camera: while the former has a 32 MP selfie snapper, the latter has just a 16 MP sensor. So overall, the X2 wins the camera comparison. Realme 5 Pro has the same cameras as the XT except for the main sensor of the rear camera setup, which is a 48 MP lens.

Battery

More or less the same battery capacity for all of these handsets, but Realme X2 lasts slightly more in most of the scenarios thanks to its more efficient Snapdragon 730G chipset built at 10 nm. Further, it has a faster charging technology.

Price

Realme 5 Pro starts from €199/$219 globally, Realme XT starts from €259/$285 and Realme X2 starts from €299/$329 (you can find them at lower prices thanks to online street prices). Realme X2 is the winner of the comparison due to its better chipset, front camera and charging technology. But if you do not need an incredibly powerful SoC, Realme XT is enough for you. Realme 5 Pro lacks an AMOLED display and it has a less impressive camera department, as well as a glass back. But its price is very affordable. Which one would you go for?

The new Galaxy A 2020 series by Samsung was officially announced a few days ago and it currently includes two devices: Samsung Galaxy A51 and A71. We already published a specs comparison regarding the Galaxy A71, so now it is time for its affordable sibling. Just like most of our comparisons, we chose the devices we believe to be the most competitive sold in the same price range. For this comparison, we decided to pick the Realme 5 Pro and the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite. Both are devices offering high performance at very interesting prices: will the Galaxy A51 be able to compete with them? Let’s discover it together.

Samsung Galaxy A51 vs Realme 5 Pro vs Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite

Design

In order to make their budget phones very affordable, both Samsung and Realme decided to make the Galaxy A51 and the Realme 5 Pro with a cheap plastic body. Despite coming with cheap materials, keep in mind that Realme 5 Pro is splash resistant. But the device offering the best design and build quality is the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite, also known as the Xiaomi Mi CC9 in China. Unlike most of the budget phones, it comes with both a glass back and an aluminum frame for a premium touch & feel. Further, its rear side shows suggestive light effects depending on the viewing angle.

Display

Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite is superior even if we talk about the display quality. It is the only HDR-compliant device from this trio, which means it provides a richer image quality. Further, it has a higher peak brightness with up to 600 nits. It is also an AMOLED panel. The silver medal goes to the Samsung Galaxy A51 equipped with a Super AMOLED display, while Realme 5 Pro loses the comparison as it comes with a classic IPS panel, but it is not disappointing thanks to its Full HD+ resolution.

Specs & Software

In a lot of regions, if you want the most affordable smartphone with the highest performance, you have to choose the Realme 5 Pro. The mid-ranger from Oppo’s sub-brand is available for less than €200 and it offers an amazing Snapdragon 712 chipset, which is an upgraded version of the Snapdragon 710 found on the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite. The Mi 9 Lite offers a fast UFS 2.1 internal storage, but Realme 5 Pro has more RAM: up to 8 GB in its most expensive version, while both Samsung Galaxy A51 and Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite stops at 6 GB. Despite it is less impressive in terms of performance, Samsung Galaxy A51 is the only with Android 10 out of the box since it is a more recent handset.

Camera

The differences in photo quality between Samsung Galaxy A51, Realme 5 Pro and Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite are not excessive. Due to its definitely better secondary sensors, I personally prefer the quad rear camera of the Samsung Galaxy A51. It is even great at shooting selfies, but Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite has a better selfie snapper.

Battery

With these three phones, you get more or less the same battery capacity and, given that we still did not test the battery life of the Samsung Galaxy A51, we can not provide you a definitive opinion. Between Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite and Realme 5 Pro, the former offers a slightly longer battery life in most of the scenarios.

Price

Samsung still did not announce the price of the Galaxy A51. You can get the Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite globally for less than €250/$279, while Realme 5 Pro has a €199/$222 global listing price (but street prices are lower). Xiaomi Mi 9 Lite is a more complete device than its rivals due to its better build quality and display, but it costs definitely more than Realme 5 Pro, even though the 5 Pro provides higher performance.

Each time a new potential best-buy gets released, we usually make a specs comparison with the other hottest devices from the concurrence in the same price range. Today is the turn of the Vivo S1 Pro: several days after the launch, we think it is having a lot of attention because of its very high value for money, so much that it deserves to be compared to other potential best-sellers of this year. We decided to compare it to the Redmi Note 8 and the Realme 5 Pro for pretty obvious reasons: if you do not want to speed more than €200, they are among the best options you can choose if you need high performance and well-balanced specs sheet.

Vivo S1 Pro vs Redmi Note 8 vs Realme 5 Pro

Design

Something you can not easily find on specs sheets is the info regarding the design. When it comes to affordable phones, a lot of manufacturers decide to opt for cheap materials in order to cut costs. That is the case of the Realme 5 Pro which is made out of plastic. However, it is splash resistant, unlike Vivo S1 Pro and Redmi Note 8. But with those devices, you get a premium glass design and even a very original look in the case of Vivo S1 Pro. On the other hand, you should consider that, besides being splash resistant, Realme 5 Pro is more compact than Redmi Note 8, even though it comes with the same display size (thanks to a higher screen-to-body ratio).

Display

On the display side, Vivo S1 Pro is at a higher level. Besides having a wider panel, it features the Super AMOLED technology delivering more vibrant colors and deeper blacks. Further, it integrates an in-display fingerprint scanner. The whole trio has Full HD+ displays, but Realme 5 Pro and Redmi Note 8 have IPS LCD panels. Redmi Note 8 has a more resistant front panel thanks to the amazing Gorilla Glass 5 protection (which also covers the glass rear side).

Specs & Software

Realme 5 Pro is the most performing smartphone out there you can find for less than €200. It is powered by the awesome Snapdragon 712 chipset, an upgrade of the Snapdragon 710 running at a max frequency of 2.3 GHz. It even has up to 8 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage you can furtherly expand with a micro SD. Both Redmi Note 8 and Vivo S1 Pro feature a lower-end Snapdragon 665 SoC and, while the Vivo S1 Pro has an 8/128 GB, Redmi Note 8 does not exist with 8 GB of RAM. Android 9 Pie is preinstalled and customized by Color OS, Funtouch OS and MIUI depending on the phone.

Camera

The rear camera department of these handsets is exactly the same for all of them. They boast a main 48 MP camera, an 8 MP ultrawide sensor, a 2 MP dedicated macro camera and a 2 MP depth sensor. However, at the moment, the MIUI camera algorithm seems to manage the image quality in a better way. On the other hand, Vivo S1 Pro has a better front camera: the only with a 32 MP resolution.

Battery

Vivo S1 Pro is equipped with a bigger 4500 mAh battery and it lasts more on a single charge than both Realme 5 Pro and Redmi Note 8 coming with 4035 and 4000 mAh batteries, respectively.

Price

Vivo S1 Pro’s price starts from about €287/$316, Redmi Note 8 from less than €130/$143, and Realme 5 Pro from less than €180/$200. Overall, Vivo S1 Pro wins the comparison due to a better selfie camera, bigger battery, AMOLED display and more. Realme 5 Pro is the one with the highest performance, while Redmi Note 8 has a higher value for money than both.

At today’s Realme X2 Pro and Realme 5s launch event in India, Realme announced that all its quad-camera toting smartphones now have support for ultrawide angle video recording which allows you to capture videos 4 times wider than standard recording.

The feature already rolled out via updates to the Realme 5, Realme 5 Pro, and Realme XT, while the Realme X2 Pro and Realme 5s have the feature enabled right out of the box.

All five phones have a dedicated 8MP ultrawide angle camera and can be used to take not only ultrawide angle photos but also record ultrawide angle videos too.

We hope other manufacturers will emulate Realme and enable the feature right out of the box rather than via an update for future devices with an ultrawide angle camera.

Oppo’s sub-brand just announced the Realme 5s in India. Now, the Realme 5 series includes three models: Realme 5, 5s and 5 Pro, in order of price and specifications. However, that order does not necessarily mean that the most expensive phone is the best for your needs. Given that all of these handsets are sold in the price range from €100 to €200, there are no huge differences between their specifications, in most cases. So, it may not be easy for dummies to understand which one is the most interesting. That is why we made this comparison between all of the devices from the Realme 5 series.

Oppo Realme 5 vs Oppo Realme 5s vs Oppo Realme 5 Pro

Design

Realme 5s is just a slight upgrade of the Realme 5 and it has exactly the same design, the same dimensions, and the same aesthetics. Realme 5 Pro has the same look as well, but it is more compact and lighter. Each of these three devices features a plastic design, so do not expect premium materials. But their displays are protected by Gorilla Glass 3+ and all of them are splash resistant, so the build quality is still pretty nice. Besides being more compact, the Realme 5 Pro even comes with a slightly higher screen-to-body ratio, that is why we recommend it if you care about the design.

Display

If having a good display is your priority, the most suitable smartphone for you is the Realme 5 Pro. Indeed, Realme 5 and 5s have just an HD+ panel, and it even comes with a very wide diagonal that results in a low pixel density. Its definition is sufficient but below-average. If you want a high level of detail and a better panel, choose the Realme 5 Pro since it comes with a Full HD+ resolution. It has a smaller display diagonal (6.3 inches), but it is a lot better due to its high pixel density. Each of them comes with a waterdrop notch and a rear-mounted fingerprint reader since here we are talking about IPS panel not supporting in-display biometric sensors.

Specs & Software

Realme 5 Pro also wins the performance battle since it is equipped with a more powerful processor. It is the Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 running at a max frequency of 2.3 GHz. There is only one Qualcomm’s midrange chipset better than the Snapdragon 712: it is the Snapdragon 730G found on the Realme X2. Both Realme 5 and Realme 5s are equipped with a Snapdragon 665 SoC. In each case you get a micro SD dedicated slot, a memory configuration with up to 4 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage, and Android 9 Pie out of the box customized by the Color OS user interface.

Camera

The weakest point of the Realme 5 if we compare it with Realme 5s and 5 Pro is the camera department. The 5s and the 5 Pro are way better camera phone and they feature the same quad rear camera including a main 48 MP shooter, an ultrawide sensor, a dedicated macro camera, and a depth sensor. Even the Realme 5 has a quad camera, but the main sensor is an inferior 12 MP unit. None of these smartphones is a top camera phone, but with Realme 5s and 5 Pro, you will get pretty decent shots. Note that, while Realme 5 Pro has the same rear cameras as the 5s, it packs a different (and better) 16 MP front camera.

Battery

Realme 5 and 5s are battery monsters and win this comparison due to their higher 5000 mAh capacity paired with a more efficient HD+ display. The battery life of these phones should be the same in every scenario. Realme 5 Pro has a smaller battery but it features a faster charging technology: VOOC 3.0 with a 20W power.

Price

Realme 5 has a €113/$125 price tag in India, Realme 5s will start from €125/$138 and Realme 5 Pro costs €176/$195. Realme 5 Pro wins the comparison with its more performing Snapdragon 712 chipset and a better display, but Realme 5 and 5s offer a longer battery life (in case of the 5s, you even get the same rear cameras).

On Nov. 20, Realme India will be launching its first flagship phone – the Realme X2 Pro in India. Yesterday, the ‘Realme 5s Coming Soon’ text had appeared on the landing page of the Realme X2 Pro on Indian retailer site Flipkart. On the Flipkart app, the Realme 5s is listed among the upcoming smartphones for India. The listing has revealed the rear design of the phone and some of its key features.

The below show screengrab shows the smartphone sporting a diamond-patterned design on its red-colored back. It could be equipped with a polycarbonate rear with a glossy finish. The back panel of the Realme 5s is fitted with a 48-megapixel quad camera system. A fingerprint scanner is also available on the rear.

The front design of the Realme 5s has not been revealed yet. However, it may sport the same waterdrop-style notch screen as the Realme 5 and Realme 5 Pro smartphones. The screenshot also confirms that the smartphone will be breaking cover alongside the Realme X2 Pro on Nov. 20.

Editor’s Pick: Realme X2 Pro flagship smartphone goes official in Europe; price starts at €399

The Realme 5 has a 12-megapixel quad camera system whereas the Realme 5 Pro has a 48-megapixel quad camera setup. This indicates that the Realme 5s could be slotted between the Realme 5 and 5 Pro handsets. The Realme 5 is powered by Snapdragon 665 whereas the Realme 5 Pro features the Snapdragon 712 SoC. Hence, there is a possibility that the Realme 5s could be equipped with Snapdragon 675 / 710 chipset.

It is advisable to wait for newer official information to appear to know more about the specs of the Realme 5s. The Realme 5s is also coming to Thailand in the near future. The NBTC certification of the phone had revealed that it has a model number of RMX1925.

Realme 5 and Realme 5 Pro Specifications and Price

Currently, the Realme 5 is available in India in models like 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage, 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage with respective price tags of Rs. 8,999 (~$125), Rs. 9,999 (~$139) and Rs. 10,999 (~$153). On the other side, the Realme 5 Pro variant such as 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage are respectively priced at Rs. 13,999 (~$195), Rs. 14,999 (~$209) and Rs. 16,999 (~$238).

The Realme 5 has a 6.5-inch HD+ display whereas the 6.3-inch full HD+ display is available on the Pro sibling. These phones are respectively equipped with 5,000mAh and 4,035mAh batteries. The Pro variant supports 20W VOOC 3.0 Flash Charge technology through USB-C. The Android 9 Pie OS based ColorOS 6 runs on the Realme 5 and 5 Pro phones.

For shooting selfies, the Realme 5 has a 13-megapixel front camera and the Pro model has a 16-megapixel selfie snapper. The Realme 5 has a 12-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel + 2-megapixel quad camera on its back. On the other side, Realme 5 Pro features a 48-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel + 2-megapixel quad camera unit. A rear positioned fingerprint reader can be found on both phones.

Xiaomi launched a new version of its mid-range Redmi Note 8 in the global market: its name is Redmi Note 8T and it differs from the vanilla Note 8 for the NFC connectivity and slightly for the aesthetics. But it currently has a lot of competition and, despite its predecessor was a best-seller, this does not mean it is the best option you can choose, as it depends on your needs. Here, we compared the Redmi Note 8T with two handsets we believe to be among the best options in the midrange segment: Realme 5 Pro and Huawei Nova 5z. Both are complete midrange devices with well-balanced specifications, just like the Redmi Note 8T: but which one should you go for? Let’s try to find it out together.

Xiaomi Redmi Note 8T vs Oppo Realme 5 Pro vs Huawei Nova 5z

Design

In my opinion, the design is one of the strongest points of the Huawei Nova 5z for a single reason: the punch-hole display. With the Nova 5z, you can say goodbye to notches and get a full borderless display with a hole including the front camera. Further, the Huawei Nova 5z is a more compact smartphone due to its slightly smaller display, as well as a lighter device. The Redmi Note 8T and the Realme 5 Pro come with similar aesthetics, both have a reflective glass back, plastic frames and a waterdrop display. In each case, you get a rear-mounted fingerprint reader.

Display

Redmi Note 8T, Realme 5 Pro and Huawei Nova 5z come with similar display sizes as well as the IPS technology. But the Huawei Nova 5z offers a slightly better quality due to its higher DCI P3 coverage and more. It is not something you can clearly notice, but even a slight difference is always appreciated on a smartphone’s display. Unfortunately, none of these devices has an AMOLED display, so you do not even get an in-display fingerprint reader, as said above. The important difference is the punch-hole design found on the Huawei Nova 5z, instead of the classic waterdrop displays of the Redmi Note 8T and Realme 5 Pro.

Specs & Software

Huawei released an amazing midrange chipset this year, and it is on board of the Huawei Nova 5z. We are talking about Kirin 810: it is very powerful and it is built on the 7 nm production process just like flagship chipsets. But despite the amazing SoC, I would not choose the Huawei Nova 5z for a simple reason: memory configurations. I would go for the most expensive configuration of the Realme 5 Pro with Snapdragon 712 since it boasts 8 GB of RAM and an internal storage you can expand with a micro SD, instead of choosing the Huawei Nova 5z and getting less RAM. Redmi Note 8T is inferior to both Realme 5 Pro and Huawei Nova 5z since it mounts a Snapdragon 665 chipset. In each case, you get Android 9 Pie out of the box.

Camera

If we talk about rear cameras, you get more or less the same camera department with each of these devices. They include a primary 48 MP sensor, an ultrawide lens, a dedicated macro camera, and a depth sensor. Huawei Nova 5z has worse specifications for the additional sensors, so Redmi Note 8T and Realme 5 Pro should be slightly better in a lot of scenarios. But Huawei Nova 5z is way superior when it comes to selfies, thanks to its 32 MP front camera. Redmi Note 8T is nothing special for taking selfies, while Realme 5 Pro sits in the middle.

Battery

Battery capacities are similar on all of these devices, so expect a similar battery life. Huawei Nova 5z has a more efficient chipset, so it should offer a longer battery life in a lot of scenarios. However, we still did not test all of these devices thoroughly, so we still can not give you a final verdict. Note that Huawei Nova 5z and Realme 5 Pro have a slightly faster charging technology.

Price

Each of these devices can be purchased with a €199/$220 price tag, but who is the best? In my opinion Huawei Nova 5z due to its punch-hole display, better selfie camera, and amazing chipset, but not for every kind of user. Some may prefer the Realme 5 Pro due to its splash resistance or Redmi Note 8T due to the NFC connectivity. In all cases, you get only marginal differences and all of these devices are great.

Realme seems to be planning to expand its Realme 5 series as a new smartphone with model number RMX1925 has been spotted. The model number has been spotted at India’s Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS). The National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) agency of Thailand has approved it as the Realme 5s phone.

Now that the Realme 5s has been certified by aforementioned authorities, it is safe to assume that India and Thailand will be some of the countries that will be receiving. Unfortunately, none of these listings have revealed the specifications of the Realme 5s.

1 of 2

Currently, the Realme 5 is available in India in models like 3 GB RAM + 32 GB storage, 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 4 GB RAM + 128 GB storage with respective price tags of Rs. 8,999 (~$127), Rs. 9,999 (~$141) and Rs. 10,999 (~$155). On the other side, the Realme 5 Pro variant such as 4 GB RAM + 64 GB storage, 6 GB RAM + 64 GB storage and 8 GB RAM + 128 GB storage are respectively priced at Rs. 13,999 (~$197), Rs. 14,999 (~$211) and Rs. 16,999 (~$240).

Probably, the Realme 5s could be slotted between Realme 5 and Realme 5 Pro phones. It could be priced between Rs. 11,999 (~$169) and Rs. 13,999 (~$197) and may feature the more powerful Snapdragon 675 mobile platform. Belong to the Realme 5 family, the Realme 5 could be quad rear-mounted cameras. It is recommended to wait for further reports to spill more information on the Realme 5s smartphone.

Realme has been gaining some decent traction with the Android community. Unlike most companies, Realme has been very dev friendly, allowing users to easily unlock the bootloader of its phones. They’ve also been releasing kernel sources for their devices ever since the Realme 1, and now they’re keeping with the trend by releasing kernel source codes for the Realme XT, Realme 5 and Realme 5 Pro.

EDITOR’S PICK: Realme X2 Pro goes on sale in China today; starts at 2,599 Yuan ($367)

Kernel sources are very important for developers and power users. It allows them to dive deeper into the code that runs their device, allowing them to figure out different ways to improve their device’s overall performance and capabilities. Kernel source releases are also helpful for custom ROM development, which in turn benefits users who aren’t satisfied with the stock ROM on their phone.

With the release of the kernel sources for the Realme XT, Realme 5, and Realme 5 Pro, we expect to see a major boost in third-party development for these devices. All three devices run Realme’s ColorOS based on Android Pie. Since the devices are expected to receive the Android 10 update next year, the kernel source release spells good news for those of you who would like to try Android 10 before the official release.

64MP camera & MTK Helio G90T

We are used to seeing new technologies featured on mainstream flagships. But recently, Redmi changed our imagination with the newly released Redmi Note 8 Pro: a true mid-range phone with an outstanding camera setup. A few months ago, Samsung released its latest phone camera sensor, the GW1 sensor, with a 64MP resolution. After its release, a competition started among smartphone makers, especially between Xiaomi and Realme to release the first phone with this sensor. And now, the winner is in our hands, the Redmi Note 8 Pro, the first smartphone with a 64MP-resolution camera.

The camera is not the only highlight of the Redmi Note 8 Pro. The phone is also the first phone to come with the MTK Helio G90T CPU. This new chip is a high-performance CPU targeted at the gaming market.

For convenience, we will divide the full review into two parts. We first bring the Redmi Note 8 Pro vs. Realme 5 Pro vs. Huawei P30 Pro camera comparison in this review, and in the next one, we will show you our test results on its gaming performance.

Redmi Note 8 Pro: Camera 

The vertical arrangement of the cameras on the RN8Pro is similar to the symmetrical setup on the Redmi K20 series. And it’s pretty smart that the fingerprint reader is right at the bottom of this vertical arrangement. The fingerprint reader is smaller in size but offers a superfast unlocking experience.

An issue is that the camera housing protrudes quite a bit. But it has a similar hands-on feeling to the design of the OnePlus 7. Though the housing is centered at the back, the phone still wobbles a bit when it’s on the table.

From top to bottom, there is a 2MP portrait camera, followed by a primary 64MP Samsung camera with f/1.89 aperture, an 8MP wide-angle camera, and finally a 2MP macro camera.

We have already seen the first qual-camera combination on the Realme 5 Pro. As a result, to understand how powerful the 64MP resolution can be, we will do a full comparison of the Redmi Note 8 Pro with the Realme 5 Pro (its strongest competitor) and the Huawei P30 Pro (the industrial benchmark). At no point, the RN8Pro is expected to surpass the P30 Pro, but this will show you how its camera fares as compared to the best in the industry.

Redmi Note 8 Pro Camera: Outdoors 

Under good light conditions, the samples shot by the Redmi Note 8 Pro generally have great color reproduction as compared to the other two. It reproduces a natural color tone but uses AI recognition at the same time to make the samples slightly dramatic. Details are much better preserved as well.

In this group of samples, we turn off the color filter of the P30 Pro’s camera APP and add a chroma boost effect on the Realme 5 Pro. Actually, the P30 Pro shows better color reproduction no matter the details or the contrast exposure, while on the Realme 5 Pro, with boosted effects, images show a greater dramatic effect, while being rich details and featuring high-saturated colors in the bright parts. But it suffers from noise when the lights go down.

In low-light conditions, the P30 Pro shows its advantage in exposure balance. Both the bright lamps and dark areas have the right exposure and clear details. The Redmi Note 8 Pro is not bad considering its the first machine featuring the latest flagship Samsung camera sensor. However you do find some noise, despite not being very evident.

The Realme 5 Pro still maintains its dramatic boost style with vivid colors and bright exposure but brings in more noise as a result.

In another group of photos of outdoor buildings, the Realme 5 Pro shows its delightful color reproduction with the perfect use of its chroma boost mode. For those who wanna simplify their post-editing work, I would say that the samples shot by the Realme 5 Pro are ready for social media right out of the gallery. The other two phones still maintain their good performance under such good lighting conditions.

An obvious difference here is that the images shot by the Huawei P30 Pro showcased relatively warmer tones while it’s much cooler on the Redmi Note 8 Pro. So generally, we prefer the P30 Pro for close portrait or still-life photography while we love the Note 8 Pro for landscape shots. This is because warm colors typically come out well in paintings or even in photos while cold colors recede. This was especially evident in the group of high buildings photos, where the samples of Redmi Note 8 Pro were much cooler.

Redmi Note 8 Pro vs. Realme 5 Pro: High-resolution comparison

All these three phones have a high-resolution camera. The Huawei P30 Pro can output 40MP photos, and the Realme 5 Pro has the mainstream sony IMX586 with 48MP resolution, while amazingly, the Redmi Note 8 Pro can generate 64MP photos. The higher resolution also means you need more storage space.

A 40MP photo of the P30 Pro takes up around 8MB. The figure for the Realme 5 Pro is around 15MB, and for a 64MP photo shot by the Redmi Note 8 Pro you’ll need around 27MB of space. Fortunately, most users won’t have to resort to high-resolution photography all the time.

But there’s no doubt that the 64MP resolution sensor demonstrated some powerful advantages. The pictures shot by the Redmi Note 8 Pro retained more details and had less blur on photos (take the sculptures’ surface in the samples down below for example). Look at the zoomed-in images below and you’ll see that the 64MP photo caught better details of the sculptures even though we zoomed-in quite a lot.

1 of 4

Close shot

The Realme 5 Pro and the Redmi Note 8 Pro both feature a macro camera. But unfortunately, our tests show that it may not be very practical. Although it’s probably good for shooting extremely close subjects, under most conditions, their primary cameras can do a much better job due to better resolution and a more natural bokeh effect.

1 of 3

Ultra-wide angle

Huawei has a wide-angle camera with higher resolution, which made it take the lead in this round. From the samples of the other two phones, we actually can find the color deviation to some extent. The Redmi Note 8 Pro samples seem to come with a yellow-based high-contrast filter, while the Realme 5 Pro samples have more of a green filter.

Redmi Note 8 Pro vs. Realme 5 Pro: Tele zoom

As for their zoom capacity, Huawei P30 Pro has one of the best telephoto cameras that you can find on a phone. So here we just want to show you the difference between the other two models as compared to the industrial benchmark. In the 5x zoom-in samples, the two mid-range models suffered from too much AI adjustment as the sky colors all turned out to be reddish. However, in the case of the Huawei P30 Pro, the detail retention was really remarkable especially when we saw the fountain in the sample. But in all fairness, please note that both the Realme and Redmi models do not feature a telephoto camera. So when it came to the 2x zoom-in competition, things got way better. Noticeably, the Realme 5 Pro still maintains high saturation.

1 of 3

In these samples of the water surface, it seems that Redmi applied a radical AI solution when facing a low-light situation, so the sky was reflected remarkably compared to the other two samples.

1 of 3

Redmi Note 8 Pro vs. Realme 5 Pro: Night performance

As for the night shooting, all the three phones were pretty capable so as to make it their selling point. From the shooting experience, the Huawei P30 Pro forced you to hold the phone for more than 3 seconds, while the other two require just around a 2-second hold for shooting multi-photos with different exposures. But judging from the overall brightness and exposure balance, all the three candidates did a really great job.

However, their optimization strategies are quite different. The realme 5 Pro retained a natural image with limited noise at the center. Redmi Note 8 Pro’s sample featured more details due to a reduction of highlight exposure. While for the Huawei P30 Pro, it achieved the brightest night sample. Some people may even complain that Huawei has gone too far with its night mode.

Conclusion

After comparing hundreds of samples shot by the three machines, we have to admit that the Huawei P30 Pro is still one of the best camera smartphones. The phone consistently produced strong colors, good details, and accurate exposure in all situations.

As for the Redmi Note 8 Pro, thanks to its high-resolution primary camera, it reserved the richest details. As the first phone featuring a 64MP camera, we are looking forward to its continuous software adaptation and development of more interesting applications. For the Realme 5 Pro, the Sony IMX586 provided the most mature experience. Matching the wonderful Realme camera algorithm, the images would surprise you at first glance with saturated tones and accurate exposure control. But for some, Realme’s camera could be a bit too saturated at times.

As for the Redmi Note 8 Pro, we saw its potentials as well as shortages in this comparison. The phone managed to capture natural tones with good details in all samples. Even the night mode turned out to be impressive despite the samples coming out a little overexposed at times.

One thing’s sure, with phones like the Redmi Note 8 Pro hitting the markets, cameras on mid-range smartphones will never be the same. You no longer have to buy a flagship smartphone for remarkable camera performance.

So which phone’s camera do you like the most?

After several months of silence, HMD Global finally renewed its midrange lineup with two brand new devices. The company took advantage of the IFA 2019 which just kicked off in Berlin to unveil Nokia 6.2 and Nokia 7.2 at the same time. Meanwhile, Chinese companies released a lot of new phones, especially value for money ones. That is why we think it is worth making a comparison between the Nokia 6.2 and the latest mid-rangers of the same kind. For this specs comparison, we chose two potential best-sellers of the upcoming period: the powerful and gaming-centric Redmi Note 8 Pro, and the best-buy Realme 5 Pro which debuted with a very affordable price tag despite offering upper-midrange specifications.

Nokia 6.2 vs Redmi Note 8 Pro vs Realme 5 Pro

Design

The presence of a glass back and a body that is more compact than Redmi Note 8 Pro would make me go for the Nokia 6.2. To be accurate, Realme 5 Pro is the most compact phone of the trio, but it is also the only built with cheaper plastic materials. That is why my choice would be Nokia 6.2. However, do not forget that Realme 5 Pro is splash resistant, unlike its opponents. If you do not care about dimensions, then you would better go for the Redmi Note 8 Pro as it offers a more resistant glass back thanks to the Gorilla Glass 5 protection, as well as more interesting color variants, at least according to my tastes.

Display

The display is one of the strongest points of Nokia 6.2. Despite being just an affordable phone, the Nokia 6.2 boasts an HDR10-compliant display, so it is able to provide better colors, especially with multimedia content. Redmi Note 8 Pro and Realme 5 Pro offer just the classic IPS panels that you can find on most of the midrange phones, so they have nothing special to give you in terms of viewing quality. On the other hand, Redmi Note 8 Pro with its bigger display size is more comfortable for gaming and advanced users.

Specs & Software

Nokia 6.2, Realme 5 Pro and Redmi Note 8 Pro are all sold at mid-end prices, but when it comes to performance, there is an abyss between the Redmi Note 8 Pro and its two rivals. Its stunning Helio G90T processor is much faster and it provides way better graphics performance than both the Snapdragon 636 and the Snapdragon 712 found on the Nokia 6.2 and the Realme 5 Pro. Redmi Note 8 Pro even comes with an advanced liquid cooling system which makes the phone stay cool even after long gaming sessions. Note that Nokia 6.2 is the only to feature Android One, so it will get updated faster and more constantly for a longer period. But it is the phone with the lowest-end hardware department here.

Camera

Even though it is a gaming-centric device, Redmi Note 8 Pro is also a great camera phone. Alongside the Realme XT (which is not in this comparison) it is the world’s first phone with a 64 MP main cameras (very high resolution but still a midrange sensor), and it provides the best photo quality compared to Realme 5 Pro and Nokia 6.2. Right after, there is the quad-camera setup found on the Realme 5 Pro with a 48 MP main sensor, while Nokia 6.2 has a main sensor with just a 16 MP resolution. However, we are sure that it will give us surprises given the advanced camera enhancing technologies described by HMD Global at IFA 2019.

Battery

The big 4035 mAh battery paired with a 10 nm processor and a compact display should make Realme 5 Pro last more than Redmi Note 8 Pro, despite the latter has almost the same battery capacity. The weak point of the Helio G90T SoC is the production process, which influences the efficiency in a negative way. Nokia 6.2 has a 3500 mAh battery, so we do not think it can compete.

Price

Nokia 6.2 will cost €200/$220 in its base variant, Realme 5 Pro starts from €175/$193 and Redmi Note 8 Pro has a €180/$198 starting price. Unless you need the best display and faster updates, we do not think it is worth going for the Nokia 6.2. At the end of the day, Redmi Note 8 Pro is way more convincing than Nokia 6.2 and Realme 5 Pro as it offers higher performance, a better camera on the paper, a bigger display, and a great build quality.

Realme’s growth has been pretty astonishing so far, especially since it is just over a year old. Within this time span, it has grown from a small-time sub-brand of OPPO to one of the most sought out smartphone makers in the budget and mid-range segment. And turns out, it has got sales figures to back its popularity. According to counterpoint’s Q2-2019 Market Monitor report, Realme has climbed into the top 10 smartphone OEM club.

For a company that came into existence just last year, this is indeed a tremendous achievement. However, this isn’t entirely surprising. Realme had announced earlier this month that they had shipped more than 10 million smartphones worldwide in a matter of 14 months.

The company’s Realme 3 Pro that was announced back in April offers good value for money in the mid-range market, taking on the Redmi Note 7 Pro. The company has plans to ramp up its progress in India and China with additional models in the next few months. The brand has already released the Realme 5 Pro which is its first quad-camera smartphone! Then there’s the upcoming Realme XT that will feature the Samsung GW1 64MP sensor directly taking on the Redmi Note 8 Pro with the same sensor.

With so many powerful models incoming for the mid-range segment, the company seems to have some really strong plans to take on the Redmi brand in the budget and the mid-range market. If Realme can grab even a small chunk of this market from Redmi, it is all set to sell a few more million smartphone units by the end of the year.

Realme China recently teased that it will be revealing information on the upcoming smartphone in this week. A couple of days back the company hinted that it would hold an unveil event on September 5. It has now been confirmed that the company will launch the Realme 5 Pro smartphone in China on that day. However, the device will bear a different moniker – Realme Q.

This was revealed recently via a Weibo post by the company’s CMO Xu Qi Chase who confirmed the upcoming Q series will launch with four phones in its portfolio. Right now, Realme has officially released a teaser showing the rear design of the device. The device visibly packs a quad-camera setup with the teaser pointing to a 48MP main sensor. The device is also teased to pack a Snapdragon 712 chipset. There is also an indication that the device will likely have a price tag in the triple-digit region, likely 999 yuan (~$140).

A couple of hand-on pictures of the phone has also appeared on Weibo showing the device in all its glory. The pictures reaffirm it is indeed the Realme 5 Pro. In addition to the quad-camera setup at the rear stacked at the left corner, the front design includes the same waterdrop notch housing the selfie camera. Check out more of the pictures from below.

Realme and Redmi are gunning to launch their first smartphones with 64-megapixel quad cameras. Redmi will become the first brand to launch it by introducing the Redmi Note 8 Pro on Aug. 29 in China. Yesterday’s teaser image from Realme suggested that the company may hold an unveil event on Sept. 4 in China. The Realme 5 Pro has recently appeared on TENAAvv with full specifications. Also, Realme CMO Xu Qi has shared a render of the upcoming Realme XT that features 64-megapixel quad camera setup. It is likely that Realme may announce both smartphones on Sept. 4 in the home market.

The official render of the Realme XT shows that it features a gradient colored rear that is dubbed as Snow White. As it can be seen, the white rear of the handset shows shades of blue, pink and purple. At the top-left corner of the device is a vertical quad camera setup. There is a yellow ring around the 64-megapixel primary lens of the phone.

The absence of rear-mounted fingerprint scanner indicates that the Realme XT will come with an in-display fingerprint scanner. However, the overall design is quite similar to the Realme 5 Pro phone.

Earlier this year, Realme had launched the Realme 3 Pro phone in India. However, the same phone was announced in China as Realme X Lite. Hence, the Realme 5 Pro could be also arriving with a difference name in the country. If it is arriving as a weaker version of the Realme XT, it could be called Realme XT Lite.

There is no concrete information available on the specs of the Realme XT. It could be sporting a pop-up selfie snapper and a notch-less display like the predecessor Realme X phone. It is speculated to be fueled by an unspecified Snapdragon mobile platform.

The Realme 5 Pro features a 6.5-icnh IPS LCD display with waterdrop notch. It supports full HD+ resolution. The Snapdragon 712 chipset and up to 8 GB of RAM powers the smartphone. It has up to 128 GB of native storage. The ColorOS 6.0.1 based Android 9 Pie OS runs on the device. It is equipped with a 4,000mAh battery that supports VOOC 3.0 20W fast charging. The handset is equipped with Sony IMX586 48-megapixel + 8-megapixel + 2-megapixel + 2-megapixel quad camera setup and has a front-facing camera of 16-megapixel.

Last week, Realme China had teased that it will be revealing information on the upcoming smartphone in this week. Today, it has released the first clue of its upcoming smartphone. While it is difficult to deduce to name of the phone through the first clue, the teaser has a hint that the coming may hold an unveil event on Sept. 4. It is likely to announce the Realme 5 Pro smartphone that has appeared on TENAA with its full specifications. However, there is a possibility that it may hit the Chinese market with a different moniker.

The above shown image has ‘R-Sep.-4-119-CLUE#1’ text mentioned its top left corner. Probably, it suggests that the Chinese firm has organized a launch event for unleashing its news smartphone(s) on Sept. 4. The ‘119’ number could be referring to the 119-degree superwide lens available on the smartphone.

In May, Realme had launched the Realme X smartphone in China. The Realme X Lite smartphone was also made official alongside it. The X Lite was a rebranded version of the Realme 3 Pro that was announced in April. Hence, it is likely that the Realme 5 Pro could be also coming to China with a different name. It is advisable to wait for further clues from the company to know more about the China launch of Realme 5 Pro. It remains to be seen whether it will be announcing multiple devices at the event.

The specifications of the device that passed TENAA is exactly the same as the Indian version.

The Realme 5 Pro will come with the Snapdragon 712 2.3GHz processor with 4GB and 64GB of storage. There should be more memory variants available at launch with up to 8GB RAM options.

The front camera will be a 16MP sensor. The battery is also going to be the same as the Indian version featuring 4000mAh.

The Realme 5 Pro Chinese variant that passed TENAA comes in sparkling blue color. The company should launch the crystal green variant too at launch since green is trending in the smartphone industry these days. We still don’t have a release date for the Realme 5 Pro in China, but a new teaser hints that we could see it as soon as September 4. Since the Chinese pricing is usually lower than Indian pricing, we can expect it to start at around 1200 yuan (~$170).

The Indian smartphones market just took advantages of a very valid new-entry: the Realme 5 Pro. With its incredibly affordable price tag and its astonishing specs sheet for that price, the new mid-ranger has all the potentialities to become one of the best-sellers of 2019. But in India, there are already some potential best-sellers of the second half of 2019 which may cannibalize its sales. We are referring to the new Android One-powered Xiaomi Mi A3 and to the older Redmi Note 7 Pro that is an upgraded version of one of the best-selling Android phones of the year in the global market. Will Realme 5 Pro stand a chance? Is it worth choosing it now considering the value for money? This comparison will shed some light on these questions.

Xiaomi Mi A3 vs Oppo Realme 5 Pro vs Xiaomi Redmi Note 7 Pro

Design

If you do not need an ordinary, boring and cheap plastic body but you want a premium design more similar to flagship smartphones, you have no better choice than Xiaomi Mi A3, also known in China as the Mi CC9e (in China it has MIUI instead of Android One). It is the only composed of both a glass back and an aluminum frame, and it is even a very compact device, so it is excellent for people often using phones with one hand or traveling with their handset always in their pockets. While Xiaomi Mi A3 has the most premium design, it is worth noting that Realme 5 Pro is splash resistant.

Display

Given the higher level of detail and the wider diagonal, Redmi Note 7 Pro and Realme 5 Pro are better options when it comes to displays, despite they have an IPS LCD panel instead of a Super AMOLED one like the Xiaomi Mi A3. The Mi A3 boasts more vivid colors and it even has an in-display fingerprint reader, but the resolution is lower and the display is smaller-sized, so it is not exactly the ideal display for advanced and multimedia users. We won’t choose a winner between Redmi Note 7 Pro and Realme 5 Pro because differences are marginal and we do not think it is worth focusing on them.

Specs & Software

The hardware department is a key feature of the Realme 5 Pro. Indeed, it is powered by one of the most performing midrange chipsets out there: the Snapdragon 712. And it is the most affordable smartphone with this chipset released in the second half of 2019. Further, unlike its opponents, it is equipped with up to 8 GB of RAM. The second place goes to the Xiaomi Mi A3 and its Snapdragon 665 which also features a more interesting software department thanks to Android One and its direct support by Google. Redmi Note 7 Pro is a classic Xiaomi phone with MIUI, but it has a slightly better processor than the Mi A3.

Camera

Due to its quad camera setup placed on the rear side, Realme 5 Pro is the most versatile phone when it comes to camera features. Xiaomi Mi A3 wins the selfie comparison and it also features better rear cameras than Redmi Note 7 Pro, with an additional ultrawide sensor.

Battery

Similar battery capacities, but we believe Xiaomi Mi A3 will last a lot more on a single charge due to its smaller and more efficient display which features the AMOLED technology and a lower resolution.

The post Xiaomi Mi A3 vs Realme 5 Pro vs Redmi Note 7 Pro: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

We used to complain about the boredom of the budget phone market in early 2019, but now, we have to admit that it’s pretty wrong to draw the conclusion too early. We are not arguing that how the budget phone can challenge flagships in all aspects. We believe that a good budget phone can maintain a good overall balance with certain outgoing features beyond a result of compromise. The new released Realme 5 Pro is absolutely one of them.

The Realme Brand has been quite surprising in the industry this year. They have built up a good reputation in the global market with the Realme 3 and Realme X. But they’re not satisfied yet with the existing product line. At this point, the Realme 5 Pro shoulders a great mission to represent a new step for the brand.

Design & appearance

The front face of the Realme 5 Pro is pretty similar to most phones with water-drop notch display, which can remind you of many other models, such as the Xiaomi A3 and the OnePlus 7. But the rear design is diverse from the others. The vertical 4-camera combination with cutting texture inherits the design gene of realme and brings a richer visual effect.

At first glance, it really brought a more comfortable and elegant visual experience than those phones with the color-gradient rear. The fingerprint reader is in the central area, which is easy to touch. It can also be a shutter button when taking photos, but I really don’t suggest to turn it on as a shutter, because it’s really easy to touch by mistake. Although the camera combination is a bit bump-up, unlike the OnePlus 7, the upright position makes it less intrusive in your hand. Otherwise, its weight of 184g does not cause much discomfort after holding it for a long time.

Display

The Realme 5 Pro has a 6.3-inch LCD display, with 2340×1080 resolution and 450nit brightness. For the front face, thanks to the edge control, the display achieves a high screen-to-body ratio of 90.8%. And it is covered by a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 for protection. The Realme 5 Pro doesn’t offer many options on color mode. So, if only judge it with its standard mode, it actually looks nice and detailed. Based on our review experience, it could be a better choice for a budget phone to have a mature LCD display rather than a cheap AMOLED display.

Qual Camera experience

The rear camera combination is one of the most remarkable features of the Realme 5 Pro. Several weeks before, we talked about the Xiaomi CC9, a budget phone with a flagship-level main camera, while now you have another choice and even reach a better photography experience. The Realme has 4 cameras on the rear. It packs a SONY 48-megapixel primary camera with an f/1.7 aperture; a second 8-megapixel wide-angle camera with an f/2.25 aperture, a third macro lens with an f/2.4 aperture and the last portrait lens. The primary camera is the SONY IMX586 camera, which also can be found on a lot of flagships this year, such as Mi9 and the OnePlus 7 Pro.

The 48MP primary camera ensures that the image reaches much detail so that you can have your second creation by cutting the image. Otherwise, the Realme 5 Pro inherits the Chroma Boost feature to further enhances the photographic effect. The AI engine can recognize scene information and then present a final image with delightful colors and real details. Under low light conditions, it supports a ‘4 in 1’ big-pixel feature to help you shoot brighter photos with better detail. The Realme 5 Pro features a Nightscapes mode, which remarkably boosts the night photo shooting. The final image is produced by a multi-frame combination. It achieves a better brightness balance, noise reduction, and excellent dynamic range.

1 of 4

For the wide-angle camera, it’s basically for outdoor photography. The Realme 5 Pro solves the main problem of most wide-angle shooting, the edge distortion. The images with good bright conduction perform well, but when it comes to night scenes, the noise problem and detail blurring are quite obvious.

1 of 2

While for the portrait and macro mode, such kind of features no doubt bring much fun on phone photography. From the samples, it does achieve special effects with good background blurring and subject outstanding. Especially for portrait mode, matching the Realme filter system, it really improves a fine tone with portrait style. But, on the other hand, these two cameras probably are only built for limited scenarios. If you are a special photographer, you probably would like it.

Performance

The Realme 5 Pro runs a snapdragon 712 CPU, which has claimed 10% improvement from the Snapdragon 710. And from the result of Geekbench 4, the single-core score is over 1900, which is even close to the snapdragon 835. So literally it won’t have any problem with system fluency. And let’s see it’s gaming performance, in the PUBG MOBILE test with default settings, it can reach a high refresh rate at 59 fps, which also have some fluctuation at around 30fps-60fps during the test. Compared to the snapdragon 665 on the Xiaomi A3 and the 710 on the Xiaomi CC9, the Realme 5 Pro seems to be more ambitious to build up overall performance besides an ultra-camera step.

As a result, a snapdragon 712 does mean a lot for someone who is searching for a balanced budget phone. Otherwise, on the software level, the Realme 5 Pro supports a feature called Hyperboost 2.0. it improves both the frame performance and the touching response. In actual gaming, it really brings a fluent experience, which in 2019, is more than what a budget phone can give you.

Battery

For the battery, the realme 5 Pro has 4000mAh capacity and a VOOC 3.0 fast charging at 20W. To get a full charging on Realme 5 Pro, it only takes you around 80 mins. It’s pretty common to see the compromise on the fast-charging, while over the Realme 5 Pro, the fast-charging support is much like a bonus.

Conclusion

Otherwise, features like the 3.5mm headphone jack and dual-channel WIFI connection also construct a good image that how Realme concerns user experience. For Vlogger users, the Sony IMX586 with EIS (Electric Image Stabilization) guarantees the video shooting capacity up to 4K/30fps. In conclusion, All these kinds of specs make the Realme 5 Pro stand out from the mid-range crowd.

The post Realme 5 and Realme 5 Pro unveiled in India; Specifications, features and price appeared first on Gizmochina.

At Realme‘s launch event earlier today, the company announced a new upcoming device with four cameras on the rear. This device will go directly head-to-head with Xiaomi’s upcoming Redmi device with a 64MP rear camera. This one’s also different from the Realme device with a 48MP camera we had heard about from before, which means there’s a whole new slew of possible specs here.

The biggest selling point of this new device is still going to be the camera setup it has going on. One of these sensors is the currently hot 64MP ISOCELL GW1 sensor by Samsung, while the other three cameras consist of a super wide angle camera, macro as well a depth sensor. No info regarding the front camera, but that’s not really all that important.

Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth confirmed that the company would be launching three smartphone cameras before Diwali this year. These three new smartphones would be launched under the Realme, Realme Pro and Realme X series. Sheth also took a dig at Xiaomi and said that Realme is offering the world’s first hands-on experience rather than showing a slide presentation.

Of course, this hands-on experience comes with one big caveat, that being that it came under heavy wraps to basically disguise the device’s design and look. Despite that, we still get a fairly good look at the device’s camera capabilities as well as the phone’s model, that being RMX1921. This is interesting, as it could indicate that this is a new version of the Realme X.

Officially however, Realme has yet to announce anything else about the new device. We’re not sure if we’ll see this new device launch at Realme’s upcoming August 20th event, though it’s highly likely it will. There are three devices set for launch on that day, and it’s highly likely at least one of those will be this brand new device.

Whatever Realme has in store for us, we’re really eager to see it. The company has a stellar reputation of making some excellent mid-range devices, and so far they’ve yet to disappoint. It’s also great to see some true competition going on in the mid-range market, considering how it’s been getting somewhat stale in the past few years.

Realme has recently confirmed that it will be launching a quad camera Realme phone with 64-megapixel primary lens. The Realme 5 that is expected to be priced under Rs. 10,000 is unlikely to feature the 64-megapixel lens. The Realme 5 Pro may come with a better quad camera setup than the Realme 5. There is a possibility that the rumored Realme X Pro being an advanced phone will be equipped with a 64-megapixel lens in its quad camera setup.

The Realme Camera Innovation Event will hold later today but just before then, more details about the 64MP phone’s other camera sensors have surfaced.

Before we dive into the camera details, it is important to mention that an exclusive report by 91Mobiles says the 64MP phone will neither launch as the Realme 5 nor Realme  Pro as we reported earlier. However, both Realme 5 phones will also have quad-rear cameras. The blog reported that their source informed them that the Realme 5 will have a 16MP primary camera while the Realme 5 Pro will have a 48MP primary rear camera. So as it stands, the name of the Realme 64MP quad-camera phone is still unknown.

The Realme 5 and Realme 5 Pro will likely be unveiled today as an image shared by the manufacturer shows three phones with four rear cameras. All four have their sensors arranged the same way with the primary camera having a colored ring around it. However, only one of the three phones has “64MP” inscribed below the sensor.

We believe the other two phones are the Realme 5 and Realme 5 Pro respectively.

Back to the 64MP phone. More details and camera samples shared by the official Realme Twitter account show that one of the three other sensors is a 119° f/2.2 wide-angle camera which allows you to capture 1.5x wider views than the standard lens.

Realme also revealed that the phone will have a Macro Camera which allows you to capture close up details of objects from up to 4cm.

There are also camera samples that show the phone can capture clear and bright images at night thanks to the 4-in-1 pixel technology. The fourth camera sensor is unknown but there is a chance it is a depth sensor.

The Realme quad-camera phone will use Samsung’s ISOCELL Bright GW1 sensor with a 1/1.72” sensor size and an 0.8µm pixel size.
