On Thursday evening - October 3, 2019, at the Grand Ballroom of City of Dreams in Paranaque City, Realme Philippines officially launched the much-talked-about Realme 5 and Realme 5 Pro midrange Android smartphones, both donning exciting featuring along with affordable price tags.
Although both phones share almost the same eye-catching design identity and useful Quad Rear Camera set-up, the Realme 5 Pro is the more expensive model as it has more powerful imaging capabilities and internal hardware.
As I've shared earlier, Realme 5 Pro sports a 6.3-inch FullHD+ IPS display, 16 MegaPixel f/2.0 selfie cam in front, 10nm Octa Core Qualcomm Snapdragon 712 processor, and up to 8GB of RAM.
Despite being cheaper, though, Realme 5 also has notable hallmarks and unique selling points that I'm sure many Pinoy consumers will appreciate.
The more wallet-friendly model has a larger 5,000 mAh Li-Po battery pack delivering up to two days of uptime with regular use, a more sizable albeit lower resolution 6.5-inch HD+ IPS display, and an energy-efficient 11nm Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor.
Both handsets have four cameras at the back, there's a 2MP Depth Sensor enabling Portrait Mode that adds Bokeh Effect to highlight the subject, dedicated 2MP Macro cam for close-up shots, 8 MegaPixel f/2.2 Ultra-Wide-Angle shooter for landscape and architectural images, and for the primary camera, Realme 5 Pro has a 48 MegaPixel f/1.8 snapper with Sony sensor while the Realme 5 has a lower resolution main cam at 12 MegaPixels.
