Smartphone Realme 6,5" Octa Core 8 GB RAM 128 GB 5G

Phenomenal phone considering it's price. This phone offers 120hz screen, 30W charge, 90% screen to bezel ratio, and even supports 5G network. Feels premium and doesn't feel like a cheap phone at all. Smooth and responsive screen with upgradeable OS to Android 11. 8GB ram and 128 GB rom with expendable storage up to 256 GB is amazing. The mp3 jack is a nice feature to have for those who's still using cabled earphone.

I've been using the phone a few weeks now. Pros are the awesome battery capacity (5000mAh) and the Dart charge. NFC is powerful (reads a heap further away than my old ASUS Zenfone 3). Cons - the side fingerprint is a little awkward, but offset by face recognition. No wireless charging and no IP rating is a drawback, but this is a budget phone after all. Camera app does not seem to allow for different resolution photos (I'm old school and like a 4:3 option).Overall - great phone that packs a lot of features in for the price.

It's a bit of shame - I really do want to give this phone a positive review: At it's price-point it is a great phone; snapdragon processor, great camera, heaps of storage.However, from a user friendly perspective, their are just little Interface issues that, on a day to day basis, are just too much of a hindrance. Top of mind is the phones connectivity issues to cellular data when not using WiFi. If you switch from a wifi area to non-wifi, the phone won't automatically switch to your mobile data -it will simply act as if you're not connected. Equally so, this will occur when you're on regular cellular data -the phone will just drop out of cellular network.I could accept that this would be a mobile provider issue if not for the fact that a quick search online ... MoreIt's a bit of shame - I really do want to give this phone a positive review: At it's price-point it is a great phone; snapdragon processor, great camera, heaps of storage.However, from a user friendly perspective, their are just little Interface issues that, on a day to day basis, are just too much of a hindrance.

Realme Supports response -' just turn your aeroplane mode on and off or restart your phone' this solution works, but in 2021 I shouldn't have to be restarting my phone when I'm leaving my house, or switching on/off aeroplane mode periodically to ensure I can send/receive calls or use my internet. It's a little issue, I know, but the fact Realme know it's a known problem and that it still occurs, bothers me the most.There are also issues with the phones haptics and interface preferences that are similarly minor, but on a day to day basis equally annoying. The free 'bud airs' that come with the phone also have a terrible battery life.All in all, what should be a great phone for it's price, is an ok one with day to day issues. A quick Google search of these issues will confirm my complaints. All in all, you can probably do better with your money elsewhere.
