Realme's approach to the 5 Pro is muddy: It's a budget smartphone with good build quality, good cameras, a good screen, and good performance, all of which are on par with competition. However, the questionable audio quality, poor software experience,...

The Realme 5 Pro has been launched in India at a starting price of Rs 13,990, which, if you ask me, is an amazing price. Yes, the predecessor is just a few months old, but I think the 5 Pro packs enough upgrades to justify its presence in the market.For...

Upon reflection, the 5 Pro is pushing the boundary of what is acceptable for a device of its price level. There wasn't really a moment I had using it (besides the lack of brand recognition), that I thought was emblematic of its cost. Even the design,...

We're expecting big things from this device based on the specs and the price. It has very similar specifications to the preceding Realme 3 Pro, which we rated very highly, but unfortunately one of those similarities is the retention of a Micro USB...
