Android 9, in other hand is the original version our device got when it release. Think of it as what really fit in our device.

              In android 10 realme has undergo changes in UI which takes tall to the user experience to the device like ours.

              It is better to stick to ANDROID 9, BECAUSE it is lightweight. Not because it's better, but if you want smoother experience, stay here

                    Used it for 4.8 years. The phone is good, but after software update especially when it comes to rui. It has a bug (no idea what it was. I forgot lol), but still in good performance. Then after years my phone survived 1 month from September to October last year, cuz some issues and had it to factory-reset, then it stuck on the logo. Oh yeah, my phone is almost never being serviced yet and it has body minus on someparts.

                          I've been using this phone for 4 years, I'd must say, these kind of phones are no longer launched. They were the phones which used to Fulfill all user requirements. Camera is perfect, battery works awesom whole day. Apps are working perfect. The only thing is that it is getting slow a little bit. Looking for realme 6 pro upgrade.

                            I'm using this phone since it's release and it's pretty good with everything but now it's slowed down due to some reasons but the camera it got is better than most of realme phone today. I don't know what they are doing there is no renovation besides the durability. What's the point of IP rating and ruggedness if inside everything is trash why protect it.
