Smooth enough for my parent. No complaints. I tried a bit and find it perform adequately. Don't think most old people will notice the speed as long as apps can function well.

May I know is realme 5i able to connect to 5ghz wifi?

Not so sure I didn't check which wifi frequency I set up for them.

Doubt parents will notice the difference.

I am using Realme 5 Pro since last year. On GSMArena, it's listed that this phone can support LTE-A (Cat 4, 6 or what no idea la)
Specifications
There is however no mention of LTE-A on Realme Malaysia website.

Since 5 Pro uses SD712, its supposed to support up to LTE Cat15 leh
SD712 Connectivity

Am I supposed to get 4G+ with this phone? I never got it to work at all. I am using Maxis btw.

I think I remember seeing 4G+ on my phone before. Not very sure if i mix up remembering H+. Next time I screenshot if got the chance.

Also may I ask what telco you're using? Who knows Maxis 4G+ not supported, which is quite unlikely since my father's 4 year old Samsung A9 also got 4G+ leh.

Celcom

Why not get the 6/6i instead of 5/5i?

Mediatek chipset vs Snapdragon..

Your parents won't know the CPU inside make any different unless you plan to flash customROM for your parents few years down the road when come to OS support.

Just bought realme 5i for my parent.. notice really no 5ghz wifi.. 2.4ghz wifi sometimes just lost connection and cannot find.. so my parent really notice the difference.. just wonder if there's any workaround besides restart router..

Best workaround is to place router near the spot where they always sit down.

Sorry haven't had the time to check on my parent phone wifi. I keep forgetting to do this when I was over at their place.

The problem now i think is too many devices used 2.4ghz around my neighborhood.. cause sometimes the wifi just went missing till i restart the router..

Sound like a router issue. Perhaps you can find ways to borrow another from someone else and test out the 2.4GHz connectivity?

So far just 1 incident.. may be i just see 1st how..

Android 10 comes to realme 5.

A few unwanted double apps.
UI kinda not that good.

which double apps? UI not good as in? lai share and let me see
