Hi owners of Realme 5 pro. Does the included casing protect the camera lens from scratches when you put the phone on the table on its back?

need use more to calculate more accurate.

yes it does. very sturdy case.

TQ. Have shortlisted this phone.

yup , or u can use GSam Battery Monitor for altenatif

Hmm.
Seems okay...

Maybe like other said..
Use longer... Then check again?

guys, im eyeing this R5Pro and RN8Pro.
from your experience, how does ColorOS compare to MIUI? Im using RN3Pro currently. felt MIUI clogged storage easily with whatsapp and whatsapp backup stuff.

does R5Pro heat up with 2hours and more gaming?

Hi, I used miui years ago, and I just got a realme 3 pro with coloros 6. I would say I like the is quite well. Haven't yet saw any advertisement, which is quite a lot in miui. Not sure how's miui nowadays. Just started using coloros for few days, not deep into it as I still using my iPhone as main phone, where this realme 3 pro as my entertainment machine.

saw on youtube they said after new update, the market place show ads on ColorOS.
MIUI also got ad that can be turned off, but the clogging really worries me. whatsapp app got data files 2GB. and after a week, another 2GB. seems like the backup but the previous backup not deleted, im not sure

so you're not missing the MIUI?

I don’t realise the ads on the market place. Wait me back home only check on that. Travelling at the moment only bring main phone.
The Whatsapp thing I not sure. not using that on my entertainment devices. Only on main phone.

Missing MIUI? Hmm. I still own a Mi Pad 4 which runs MIUI. And before this playing with EMUI. Guess that I am not kind of person who are loyal to any OS as I just installed Nova launcher on all devices and make them operate similar. Of course here and there some differences due to the UI itself.

I believe you won’t be wrong getting either of the devices. Personally I would prefer snapdragons over others. What games do you play most? Maybe also consider the heating issue of the MTK

I using this Realme 5 Pro (8GB+128GB) for like 2 hours only before I pass it to my mom in-law because transfering old file/backup/data from old OPPO F1s. I can give some simple hands on reviews.

I start off with 0% and charge till full 100% using the VOOC 3.0 Charger, and I'm dam impress with the speed, heat. In short, like other reviewer said, is fast from 0% to 50% in less than 30min, it doesn't generate as much heat on device like other Qualcomm QuickCharge capable device. I was using continously with screen on doing backup/migrate/installing app for the 2 hours. Non stop, no heat, no hiccup, no slow down of charging. I have to say VOOC/Dash Charging (OnePlus) > Others Fast Charge technology (Qualcomm/Samsung/Huawei SuperCharge)

Others is just like any other Android phone, no much to comments. but the ColorOS does need to give some feedback. There are few annoying things, I can't delete the dam Game App / Fake Folder (or freeze the system app) As you say, is full of stupid promoted/sponsored games/app inside. I have to make a "Rubbish" name Folder to put all 3-4 of the App/Fake Folder into it.

Theme Store are just like any other fancy OEM. But this freaking OPPO/ColorOS/Realme removed the Stock/Pure Android AOSP theme from their theme Store. Dam. I have to side-load it using some youtube tutorial.

DualSIM + Dediciated MicroSD Card + Headphone Jack (No FREE headphone) + Silicone Case in the box + Screen Protector (PreApplied), SIM Ejector

Design/Handling: 8
Performance/Speed: 8
ColorOS/Software: 5
Battery/Charging: 10
Display: 7
Camera: 7
Value for Money: 9

Verdict: Please buy this over the other Xiaomi/Huawei Mid-Range or OPPO overpriced phone if your budget are between 900-1000.

after another overnight research, I finally found a video that do the most plausible comparison.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1S_dVb4gn0

and yeah, Mediatek does heating up a bit on another video, and that really concerns me. its a new phone, and heat easily although not overheat. in the long run 2-4 years, that heating will become more and more because of the thermal will run out over time n over usage. made up my mind to stick with snapdragon as my experience with RN3Pro 2016-2019, it is actually a dependable chipset

thanks for your thoughts, hopefully one day Im able to afford two devices at the same time, one Iphone and one android. I left the iOS train after my days of Iphone3gs and Iphone5. I might be back because the efficiency of iOS. but my bank balance wont allow me for the time being lol

i found this latest video that really helps. the comparisons are on point

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1S_dVb4gn0

I may need to pay attention to that ColorOS rubbish, maybe some people know how to bypass/handle that

Thanks for the insights. I am really on a budget of RM1000, if i have more, i would just wait for the Realme X2 Pro. but i must stay within the budget. this phone definitely value for money. and I wont wait for Black Friday, Cyber Monday or 12.12 for this. gonna buy it first thing on Monday

Agree with huawei/oppo/vivo... but xiaomi has some good feature sets / alternatives realme don't have...

And outgoing realme 3pro 4/64 at RM599 offer price is a steal

how far is realme 5 pro 8/128 with realme 3 pro 8/128?

64gb kinda so-so i guess

If need 8/128 get 5 pro... haven't seen a 3pro discount worth considering over the better 5pro yet

64 is OK if you manage junk n backup on the cloud...but more importantly 4gb gonna be limiting soon if you're a power user or gonna keep longer than 2-3 yrs

What about Huawei Nova 4e 6/128GB (aka. P30 Lite) if get it at rm800?

The iOS devices now need some deep pocket to afford. Not to say that othe flagships are cheap, but mid-range/budget devices now are doing very good. I still using old iPhone 8 as I am using find my friends feature for me and my wife.

I do watch some reviewers mentioned and tested the thermal throttling of the redmi note 8 pro. Forgotten where already. Maybe a big deal for gamers. I think the processor is capable, but the cooling need improvement
Indeed Xiaomi having some nice ohinr. And some great features such as it blaster and using type c down until redmi 8.

And I bought a realme 3pro 4/64 at 599 as my entertainment machine. I am quite satisfy with that

Type C > All

Thats why I been holding not to buy Realme 3 Pro during launching.
When all families member live under the same roof are using type C, you can type everything, from powerbank to PC to table. Even you have iPad/iPhone can use Type C to Lightning.

What did you end up with? I'm eyeing for sub rm800 phone for senior citizen. Redmi Note 8 seems tick all the boxes. Was thinking of A3 but amoled is fancy and replacement would cost ⅔ of its price.
Hope MIUI won't be a problem.
