                it's trash, don't buy it. never update your phone or it will reduce its lifespan and just hangs every time ypu open an app. or better to not choose realme.

                    I have a problem on this device realme 5i. Whenever i am playing like codm, pubgm, wild rift. My phone keeps lagging and there's a sound like echoing like "tooooooooooottttttt". But my internet is always good, it's always 4G. So i really don't know what is the problem. I hope you can do an action on this.

                                      My realme 5i keeps on turning on and off.
                                      The screen froze then went black then turned it on and off.
                                      Auto on and off

                                        Ok finally saw the ota for c59 and updated it. Nothing changed for me. Neither improved nor worsened my phone.

                                        I already configured my phone to be fast before c59 and it didn't changed anything aside from update the security patch.
