Performance and Software
Under the hood, the Realme 5s is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset, built on an 11 nm process. This is coupled with an octa-core CPU, consisting of 4x2.0 GHz Kryo 260 Gold cores and 4x1.8 GHz Kryo 260 Silver cores, and an Adreno 610 GPU. The configuration is sufficient for everyday tasks, handling multitasking with relative ease and enabling casual gaming without significant lag. This phone initially ships with Android 9.0 (Pie) but is upgradable to Android 10 with the Realme UI, which enhances usability with intuitive customization options.
