Bought realme 5 (32gb) on 12.12 sale. Received it yesterday.

And wow the bloatware apps that comes together with it. sweat.gif

Ya, the bloatware is amazing - I'm never complaining about Samsung's bloatware again smile.gif
No, quite a number of it can't be disabled or uninstalled.

Am glad I didn't pull the trigger for the X2 Pro instead, hahaha... That said, this phone's battery life is amazing. Can easily do 10 hours SOT.

For the first time, I had to use adb & fastboot to remove some of the bloatware. laugh.gif

I have to agree with the battery life. It was one of the main reason (and price) why I choose to get it. Else, I've would have gone with redmi note 8. tongue.gif

You bought the paid version of those apps?

You mean the adb & fastboot?

Nope. Can download it from xda website. Install on PC & run debugging mode on phone.

Not sure whether it is a bug or not, but the window & transition animation scale tends to set back on to 1x every time I turned on the phone.

Well, there's an option called minimum width under developer option. It increase the size of the icons on home screen.

If that is what you are looking for.

The screen resolution, the camera and the OS is full of bloat to name a few. Still, it's a good entry level phone for the price.

I agree on the camera part though. It is a little buggy. I used the camera for an event last Sunday. Took a lot of pictures, then the camera started to become buggy. After snapping a picture & you immediately try to snap again, the shutter icon will have a round circle showing 'processing' before you can snap a picture again.

Latest update version of realme 5 seems to enable WiFi calling?

There is a WiFi calling icon showing when I'm on airplane mode. Usually don't have.
