I bought this device on 27 October and now it has been almost 5 days gone i am using this device as my daily driver but there are some problems in it which think can be fix with an OTA update.
1. Touch response is not good.
2. Its battery not last long even 2 full days while i am a mediocre user of mobile no gaming etc.
3. Recent apps doesn't clear all the time you have to clear some apps like FB,WA or Insta by manual.
These are my findings in this phone hope so it will be okay in future updates. Although this 3 problems this mobile phone is a beast.

    I bought the realme 5 because of the battery performance and it can connect to 5GHz wifi!
    I don't care too much about the camera but I did experience some touch issues. Its not ghost touch that some people have reported but I find myself having to tap on a letter on the keyboard or certain part of the screen two times to interact with my finger. Still usable but I hope an update comes out that can fix it. (Hoping its not a hardware issue).

    I switched from Samsung Galaxy J6+ and gaming was an issue for me. On the realme 5 no issue at all. I can play NBA2K20 on settings that the J6+ can never play on without lagging.
    I know charging takes long but if you can use the phone the whole day and worry about charging it over night, thats good enough for me.

    Overall I can say I am pleased with the realme 5 although it has some things it needs to be fixed or worked on by realme.

    If you are coming from a High Quality phone down to realme 5, truth is you will be disappointed in some things. I came from a phone that costed me 10K and down to a 7K phone I can say I am pleased.

    Everyone is different so some may disagree with what I am posting but hey whatever makes you happy.

      RikuTheBoy, 26 Oct 2019I Think I Should Buy It....Shouldn't I? Especially When They Are Giving 4 Cameras In This Budget.You should buy Realme 3. This phone has bad performance.
      Its camera can't be called good by any means, but it's OK because it supports Gcam.

      1. Ultra Wide angle camera only works if you enable it. And it only works for pics, not videos.

      2. Macro camera also only works if you enable it and works alone. It has no real use and hardly takes better pictures than a phone that doesn't even has it.

      3. Depth sensor is only for portraits. It helps edge detection while blurring the background in pics.

                            MaikenKhuman, 25 Oct 2019If you know about gfx tool than why u keep talking about being stuck at 30fps. Cause I play at... more...the phone allows 30-60 FPS without gfx tool IN SETTINGS. Why don't you play on Ultra HD, hm?

                            Just because you selected 60FPS in gfx tool doesn't mean you're actually getting 60FPS. Even if you lower graphics and set FPS to 60 with GFX Tool, it still wouldn't be able to pull 35FPS in TDM.
                            Do you get it now?

                            You can try a working FPS counter to check. This phone is not for games. At all. Its performance is worse than any SD 660, Helio P60, P70 or Kirin 710 phone.

                            Maybe after a year, some games will be optimised for it properly but it doesn't look good since SD665 has been already around for about half year now.

                                  No one is complaining about unlocking HD Graphics. We're talking about poor performance.

                                  If you play on Balanced graphics, it struggles to get 30 FPS in Classic Mode. Playing TDM requires 40+ FPS.
                                  No one plays on HD when your FPS are this bad.

                                        For those who keeps whinning about poor pubg graphics on sd665 phones, install any pubg graphics tool from play store. Run it...unlock hd and above options...set FPS at max possible. Then run the game. There in the game setting u LL fine all the graphic options unlocked. Thats how to manually optimized a game when Game Dev fails to optimise it, thereby hiding the real potential of sd665.
