Here is the Unboxing & Overview video of the Realme 5 Pro that I had posted earlier kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJqmZ62Mi7qpla8

[@computerrazor57]

Hi Ranjit, I have a Realme 3 Pro. The one biggest problem which I am facing right now is "Screen Flickering". Whenever I watch any online streaming videos such as "Netflix" or "Amazon Prime" there will be screen flickering which is not expected from a brand new phone. Also sometimes the problem happens when I watch KZbin videos in full screen.

[@shauryavashistha1373]

@Geekyranjit sir what would be your pick between vivo z1 pro and real me 5 pro.....

[@rishiramesh4822]

Sir...how is the vibration motor ??? Is the speaker audible enough to hear while driving especially wearing helmet and on noisy places.....??

@Saurab Das: That should not happen get it checked in the service center.

Using Realme 5 pro for last 20 months. Bought it in 2019. This phone is incredible. The cons which u mentioned does nt have much relevance in daily use. Also color OS has improved through updates and lots of customization options available. Only problem I felt that recently it's battery life decreased...but that's after 17 months of usage and I doubt it's coz of the AV app which always runs in background. Honestly I'm having tough time choosing a new phone which can match it's performance as allround efficient Phone. ❤️

Hey ranjit... what about the bloatware? Is it annoying? I have always been a stock android fan and this is a super big decision for me! :( The specs are too good for this price range so I am considering it. Any other phone with SD 710 near stock android phone?

[@something8068]

Run away, never look back at Realme if you're worried about bloatware. If you come from stock android to this you'll cry a bucketload and fall into depression and regret your decision forever in your life.

[@prakashchaudhary879]

Realme 5 Pro has really changed the game a bit, under 15k segment. I would really love a video comparing good & bad of Stock Android - Color OS - Funtouch OS, as many people would want to go for Realme or Vivo after a stock android phone(I'm one of them) and your video might be very helpful. Kindly do!

Hey ranjit can you tell which is best phone around 15000 with best signal/ network quality.. Using airtel.. Thanks

[@valadeepak9330]

If Realme XT's price starts at 15k-16k, how far it is worth to buy Realme 5 Pro ? Because in REALME XT , there is upgrade like 64MP Camera, Glass Body Design, AMOLED DISPLAY, In Display finger print scanner.. Again Realme XT seems better than Realme X, as it will have Dedicated Micro SD card slot, bit more Battery, 64MP Quad Camera setup and expected to be cheaper than Realme X by 1k.. So Realme has made sandwitch of mobiles and as a buyer there is lot of confusion as which one to buy.. 🤔🧐

[@visakhkharidas8365]

Which phones have the best network reception.. According to you...plz suggest

[@AkashRanjanBaral]

It is true that companies are launching phones way too quickly... Consumers gets confused by this. They should take some time and bring the best according to the price point. Xiaomi and Realme should take note. Almost same designs and little difference in features creating a lot of confusion.

According to the technology it varies brother..but in some Qualcomm fast charging technology if u Will use repeatedly then it may surely affect battery life

[@harshdhingra1329]

Yes

[@SBM_24]

Previously I used the moto g4 plus which supported quick charge 3.0...every six months or so I had to buy a new fast charger because the fast charging severely reduced the life of the charger... Qualcomm quick charge technology generates a lot of heat and even damaged my moto g4 plus battery with 6 months or so... during the 3 years I used the phone I changed my charger 3 times, battery one time and charging port 1 time all because of the quick charge. However now I've bought realme 3 pro which uses it's VOOC charge technology to fast charge it's phone... I'm very impressed with charging and battery performance with realme 3 pro VOOC charge...the phone doesn't heat much while charging and also it fully charges very fast... I too was very skeptical about the it's fast charge technology before I bought it because of my previous experience with the moto g4 plus but after months of usage I'm really impressed by how good VOOC charge in comparison to Qualcomm quick charge... the best thing about VOOC charge is that the charging stops automatically after it's reaches 100 percent preventing overcharge.
