                        Anonymous, 08 Mar 2023Realme 5 is still the best. I'm still using it since 2019.. I like till nowIt is a good phone for basic use, but if a user needs NFC or/and 5G, or a good camera, then Realme 5 isn't that good and needs to be changed for something newer. I had this model too before not having NFC became a real problem.

So chill & accept the truth.

To be Frank enough i still use the phone & recently i recorded a 4K video of a seminar, people appreciated the whole quality & pixel densities alot. They even said you don't need a iPhone which was a huge compliment. So you have to accept it that whatever you have that's a Diamond, if you go on comparisons then you'll never get satisfaction in life.

                                  This phone is already three years old and still functional, but it is slowing down after only two years.
                                  I think it's time to buy a new smartphone.

                                    i have this phone since the release (so it's been 3 years and couple of months) and it's still functioning.

                                    however, you can see that the performance of the phone is already deteriorating after 2 years. the charging speed is not too fast anymore, it lags at times, there are times where the screen just....freeze.

                                    imo this phone is good if you are looking for a phone just for daily stuff or for school. though tbh it's better if you look for other phones because you can find a phone with better specs for the same amount of money.

                                    i game a lot and i gotta say, don't even think of buying this to play games. the ram is not good for playing mmo or fps games especially when the required ram for the games to run smoothly with high quality graphics is around 8-16gb ram these days. still, if you set the graphics of the games to the lowest, it would be bearable to play those games. not much of a problem if you are playing just those color switch type of games though.

                                    over all, it depends if with the purpose of your use for this phone. if it's for gaming, better find a better one. if it's just for work or for school, it ain't bad.
