    Good phone

    Given its current price (perhaps too high), after 3 years it's still pretty snappy. The battery life, however, is slowly losing its usefulness. Not for gaming. Photos are average. Overall, a solid phone.

    Comfortable size and good cameras.

    I bought it new in a cell phone store in Guayaquil - Ecuador on February 19, 2025. I was surprised that I received updates up to Android 14, I honestly expected up to Android 13. Since this cell phone was launched in May 2022. Its size is very comfortable in the hand since it is 6.4 ". Its Amoled screen is very good for viewing multimedia content and very comfortable to the eye since it is not a very big cell phone and it is a delight to watch videos since it has 411 ppi (very high density). Its 108 Mpx HM6 main camera from Samsung is on par with some high mid-range phones from the competition, this being a mid-range phone. Its 8 Mpx OV08D10 wide-angle lens from Omnivision is neither good nor bad but it is appreciated that they put it since they did not put it in the Realme 10. Its 2 Mpx GalaxyCore GC02M1 macro lens is average. It has a slight optical stabilization but I would have I liked that it had Ultra Stable Video. Its selfie camera is a Sony IMX471 that comes in almost all Realme mid-range and above and its good quality is appreciated since competing phones with almost the same price such as Xiaomi, Samsung and other brands put 13 Mpx sensors of not as good quality. What it did lack was its processor since the Snapdragon 680 is not that powerful for the price it was launched at. In the selfie camera, the photos are good and it is appreciated that it has a Sony sensor. It has a good battery life of 5000 mAh and with its Amoled screen you can save more battery by putting it in dark mode. It comes with a 33-watt charger. This phone is more for viewing multimedia content, taking very good photos and for use on social networks. I do not recommend it for games because the processor falls short, that is its weak point.But otherwise, it's good. I'm satisfied with the Realme brand since its customization layer isn't as heavy and it saves more battery life. I hope this review has helped you.

What is a Ki score?
Ki is an automatic score based on the specifications and prices of devices. It is calculated using over 200 variables to rank smartphones, tablets and other devices from best to worst.
How do we calculate the Ki?

In this case, to determine the score we evaluate 5 general aspects:

  • Design and screen
  • Hardware and performance
  • Camera
  • Connectivity
  • Battery

Once these 5 factors have been rated, we introduce the price variable. This means that any two devices with the same ratings get a different Ki score for quality vs price.

Even a device objectively worse than another may have a higher Ki score if it has a better price.

Does the Ki score change?

The Ki varies as time goes by. As new devices with better specifications enter the market the Ki score of older devices will go down, always being compensated of their decrease in price.
