| 2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Striking, sleek design, with rounded edges and a gradient color back - one of the better looking budget phones around
- Offers a good grip, and is relatively light-weight for the size
- Both fingerprint reader and face unlock work accurately and quickly
- Nice display - packs a 6.52-inch HD+ (720x1600 pixels) screen with a 20:9 aspect ratio and 90.3 percent screen-to-body ratio - color output is decent, and sunlight legibility is good too - overall, this is one of the better displays you will see in this price segment
- XOS UI is a decent Android skin, is smooth to use, and has a few useful features - like the dedicated smart panel (to the left of the home-screen for widgets and shortcuts), and Intelligence voice broadcast (can read out a lot of things for the user, like cricket scores, news and SMSes, as well as personal texts from various messaging apps)
- Decent performance for day-to-day use with a Helio P22 SoC - similar to Snapdragon 625 (though gaming performance is pretty ordinary, as expected)
- Decent triple camera setup for the price (13MP primary + 2MP depth + Low Light Camera)
- The primary camera gives reasonably good shots in daylight - sharpness and details are decent - though consistency is an issue
- Selfies come out nicely too (but the beauty mode can make the pics look unreal, so it's best turned off)
- Excellent battery life with a 5000mAh battery - you should get a comfortable 2 days of use
- Decent charging speed (it's not 'fast charge' though)
- The Hot 8 is an another reliable budget choice from Infinix offering a good specs/price ratio, allowing it to stand up to tough competition from Xiaomi and Realme - as long as performance is not a major concern, and you are not into gaming, it's worth considering
|
- Premium looks and design - with a beautiful, abstract geometric pattern on the back, and a smooth, metallic sheen - this is one of the hottest looking devices coming at this price point
- Very easy to grip - the rounded sides and curved back panel make it fit comfortably in a palm
- It is actually more compact than the Realme 5 - and you will not have any trouble using it even with one hand
- The front is modern and sharp too - with a big 6.3-inch LCD screen, with a 'waterdrop notch' - and a 90.6 screen-to-body ratio - the chin is fairly prominent but the rest of the borders are narrow and modern-looking
- The fingerprint sensor at the back, and face recognition - both work well, and are fast to unlock - and can be used to unlock not only the phone but also individual apps
- Good, 6.3-inch full-HD+ IPS display - the screen can get quite bright and is easy to use outdoors - and video content looks good, with decent colours and sharpness
- Support Widevine L1 DRM for high-res video streaming
- ColorOS is now much more refined and streamlined than before - customisation options include a 'Smart Assistant' to the left of the first home screen, icon density on the home screens, UI animation speed, themes, and various gestures - you can long-press the phone's power button to call up Google Assistant, and launch apps with gestures on screen when the phone is in standby - and the standard Android navigation buttons can be replaced with a variety of gesture schemes
- There are also no spammy ads in the interface - an issue that has recently plagued phones from Xiaomi
- Excellent, top-bracket-for-the-price-range performance backed by the powerful Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 SoC which has a slight edge over the Snapdragon 710 and Snapdragon 660, which are commonly found in phones in this segment - everything from daily use to high-end games is smooth
- Good quad camera setup at the rear - 48-megapixel primary + 8-megapixel wide-angle camera + 2-megapixel macro camera + 2-megapixel depth sensor
- The primary camera especially delivers impressive photo quality in daylight - focus speed is fast - and the images are sharp, details are high, and the colour balance is good
- Shots from the wide-angle and the macro camera, while not that that good in quality, give you some interesting shot framing options
- Portrait shots utilize the depth sensor, and generally come out well
- The 16MP selfie camera too delivers decent selfies, and also has a (decent) software-based portrait mode
- Video recording quality is good too, especially in daytime - there's also electronic stabilisation, which works fairly well at 1080p
- Nightscape mode works fairly well for night photography (though it takes several seconds for the phone to save a shot)
- Overall, the camera setup on the Realme 5 Pro is easily among the best in this price bracket
- The single speaker is quite loud and voices are clear even at high volumes (though of course, like most phones in this price bracket, there's no bass or depth when listening to music)
- Good (though not exceptional) battery life with a 4035 mAh battery - you will get 1 day with heavy use, and 1.5 days with moderate use
- Very fast charging with Oppo's proprietary VOOC quick charging technology - and a large 20W charger in the box with this phone - using the included charger, you will get up to 15 percent in 10 minutes and 70 percent in just over 30 minutes - pretty cool
- The Realme 5 Pro looks like yet another winner from Realme, that once again sets the bar high for other competitors to try and match - it impresses across the board - and it should definitely be in your shortlist for this price bracket
|
| 2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- With a large 6.5-inch screen, the phone is a little too big for one-hand usage
- It does pack a lot of bloatware, though (and spammy notifications)
- In terms of overall performance though, the likes of Redmi 7 and Realme 3i fare better (even the lesser RAM variants) because of their faster processors
|
- There are still a number of pre-loaded apps however - though most of these can thankfully be uninstalled
- The camera app looks slick but the layout is a bit awkward at times - for instance, to use the macro lens, you have to select the Ultra Macro mode which is buried in a spillover menu next to the standard Photo, Video, and Portrait mode selection buttons - this menu is unnecessarily small and you actually have to scroll down within it to find the Ultra Macro mode
