Is dustproof and water-resistant?
10.34% faster CPU speed?

Has branded damage-resistant glass?
Has an external memory slot?

8.2 mmvs8.8 mm
Higher Ingress Protection (IP) rating?

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.
