Watch: Realme 5 Pro Review

If you guys are like me, I’m pretty sure you fondly remember the Realme 3 Pro, which was one of the best bang-for-your-buck smartphones from earlier this year in the mid-range segment. 

That success is now followed by the Realme 5 Pro from the new Realme 5 series. A few upgrades have been made, from the design down to the cameras, to the performance, so let’s see if Realme’s follow-up can be just as potent as its predecessor.
