5 reasons why the realme 5 pro is the new standard for mid-range devices!

Realme, the emerging smartphone brand only started last year, but the company is already master of shaking the industry with its new releases. 

A newcomer shaking up the game

To reacall, the brand was triumphant in making noise when the realme 3 series was officially launched early 2019. 

Will it succeed in doing it again with the realme 5 series, particularly the realme 5 Pro? Let’s explore what are the remarkable strengths of this newcomer.

Classy crystal back design

1. Attractive design - Realme 5 Pro is an undeniable stunner to begin with. The polycarbonate back is far from cheap-looking as the new crystal pattern with a holographic effect has the right amount of flair. How about durability? It’s a common understanding that plastic is way more resilient than the metal and glass combination for back so the glasstic back of Realme 5 pro has this advantage. For added protection on the front, it has Corning Gorilla Glass 3+. 

Although this device has no IP rating, the company claims that splash resistance which means it can withstand your accidental coffee or juice spills.  No need to worry as they included an airtight waterproof sealing protects all interior and exterior components, including the screen, back cover, and the buttons.

Clear and brilliant display

2. Big display for multimedia consumption - Whether for gaming or social media browsing, immersive display is deemed to be necessary for many. Spread across 6.3-inches, we get an IPS with FHD and a resolution of 2340 x 1080 resolution at 409 ppi in realme 5 Pro. Another plus, its water drop camera notch is tiny so it’s practically noticeable at all. 

Although this has IPS panel as mentioned, it is a good quality screen that is bright enough for enjoyable and comfortable viewing. This can definitely give you vivid and punchy colors even outdoor usage. Full HD resolution on a budget anyone? 

Competitive benchmark score of its processor

3. Capable powerhouse with a long-lasting battery - A fast processor is also a consideration in this era since we want a phone that can manage even multiple apps are running.

Will the realme 5 Pro measure up? For starters it has a Snapdragon 712 octacore processor, not what you usually find in this price range. There is also an option for 8GB if you think the 4GB is not enough.

Both variants are have 128GB storage while the external memory is also expandable up to 256GB of storage.

One might fear that with a speedy processor, the battery life will suffer as a consequence. 

Another good news is that realme 5 Pro can manage with its 4,045mAh all-day battery life with FAST 20W USB-C charging. Needless to say, this device is suitable for those heavy users who also expects a strong performance from a smartphone.

A 48MP quad-camera set-up

4. A 48MP quad-camera system within your means - Satisfaction and fun in using smartphones for capturing images is highly depending on versatility. That’s probably why most flagship phones have triple or quad-camera set-up. realme 5 Pro proves that mid rangers can do the same thing as it sports a 48MP Sony IMX586 + 8MP ultra-wide-angle + 2MP macro + 2MP depth on its rear. This device will enable you to take high quality shots whatever your subject is. 

You can also say goodbye to blurry selfies as the realme 5 Pro's front camera is 16MP Sony IMX471 shooter w/ AI Portrait. With the features mentioned, it is quite obvious that you can all get these camera functions without spending so much.

5. Price tag - The last thing which makes the realme 5 Pro outstanding is its affordability when compared to latest releases of its competitors. Some of the midrange phones with similar specs are priced above 15K, others go even higher than 20K. But with this smartphone, you won't pay that much since the realme 5 Pro 4GB variant (with 128GB storage) only costs PHP 11,990 whereas the 8G variant (with 128GB storage) is sold for PHP 13,990 only. Great deals, aren’t they?

These characteristics of the realme 5 Pro justifies its title as the new standard when it comes to mid-range phones. The smartphone company clearly knows what they should focus on when they released this series. The durability of its design plus strong internal specs will make the realme 5 Pro handle almost anything thrown on it. All of the good benefits in a phone, without burning a hole in your pocket.
