Is dustproof and water-resistant?
10.34% faster CPU speed?
4 x 2.75 GHz & 4 x 2.05 GHzvs4 x 2.4 GHz & 4 x 1.95 GHz
Has branded damage-resistant glass?
Has an external memory slot?
0.6 mm thinner?
8.2 mmvs8.8 mm
Higher Ingress Protection (IP) rating?
IP67vsIP65

Realme only offers 2 OS updates while Samsung offers 4. So technically, you will use the Samsung longer and also, since it has longer support, it will be worth your money.
