Realme 5 Pro (Sparkling Blue)
As expected today, Realme has pulled the curtains off its new smartphones in India, the Realme 5 Pro and Realme 5. The device are here to succeed their predecessors. In this regard, the phones have been upgraded in some area (and downgraded in some areas too).
The Realme 5 Pro is the more spectacular of the two although it features the same 6.3-inch Full HD+ display as its predecessor. The Corning Gorilla Glass protection survived, but the first notable change that the device brings in hardware is the Snapdragon 712 processor that powered it, an upgrade of the Snapdragon 710 featured on the Realme 3 Pro that was released by Qualcomm few months back. This have a clock speed of 2.2GHz and is accompanied by an Adreno 616 GPU.
