Realme is a burgeoning android-based smartphone brand that has recently gained popularity in gamers and android enthusiasts in Pakistan. The company had released many models in the past few years that are reasonable on the pocket, easy to use and esthetic to look at.
Most of its phones are colourful, shiny and high-performing and substantially satisfying to its users. Some new models have been released this year that have been compared by the public to phones like Redmi Note 7 and Xiaomi Mi A3 – which have quite the names globally.
Since its entry into the Pakistani market less than 9 months ago, Realme powered by Oppo, has already launched 5 products across different price segments from premium flagships to trendy mid-rangers, all designed particularly for the youth.
The smartphone comes with a gaming assistant with screen recording and a do not disturb mode for an enhanced gaming experience.
The company has announced the launch of realme 5 series on October 2, 2019 in Lahore. realme will announce the launch of the realme 5 and 5 Pro, its new mainline smartphones for Pakistan and the successors to the impressive budget-focused Realme 3 and 3 Pro.
Realme 5 and 5 Pro
For the tech buffs: The Realme 5 Pro is the more advanced device. It comes with a Snapdragon 712 processor, a 4,035mAh battery, a 6.3-inch 1080p LCD screen with a waterdrop notch, and up to 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. There’s also a headphone jack and a microSD card slot, and the phone charges over USB-C with VOOC 3.0 fast charging.

The screen is bigger at 6.5 inches, although it has a lower 720p resolution, and the battery capacity is also massive at 5,000mAh, the biggest battery to be featured on a realme device thus far. It charges over Micro USB, too, which may or may not be a deal-breaker for you.
