Performance and Software

Under the hood, Realme 5 is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset, built on an 11 nm process, which conveys reasonable efficiency and power for everyday tasks. The octa-core CPU, divided between 2.0 GHz Kryo 260 Gold cores and 1.8 GHz Kryo 260 Silver cores, coupled with an Adreno 610 GPU, handles multitasking and gaming competently within its class, though intensive gaming may push its limits. The original Android 9.0 (Pie) operating system is upgradable to Android 10, complemented by Realme's user-friendly UI.

Memory options are flexible, with variants including 32GB/3GB RAM, 64GB/3GB RAM, 64GB/4GB RAM, and 128GB/4GB RAM. The presence of a dedicated microSD slot further supports storage expansions, catering to users with extensive media libraries or app collections.
