Realme’s master plan of following in the footsteps of Xiaomi has worked wonders for the company over the past 18 months. It has garnered a dedicated fan following and can be labeled a budding lifestyle brand as well. So, Realme would have thought, why don’t we take another cue from our arch-nemesis? And it did.

Realme 5s boasts the same polycarbonate build on the rear, with a quad camera and a physical fingerprint sensor, and Gorilla Glass 3+ protection on the front. There’s a huge 6.5-inch HD+ (720 x 1600 pixels) IPS LCD display on board, which boasts a 20:9 aspect ratio and 82.7% screen-to-body ratio. It has a waterdrop notch up-top, which is housing the 13MP selfie camera.

It’s the quad-camera system on the Realme 5 that has received a major upgrade. The primary 12MP (f/1.8) has been swapped out for the popular 48MP (f/1.8) Samsung Bright GM1 sensor. It has been coupled with 8MP ultra-wide lens with a 119-degrees FOV, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor.

Realme 5s has been priced starting at Rs. 9,999 for the 4GB+64GB base variant. But, you will have to shell out Rs. 10,999 for the higher-end 4GB+128GB variant. This device will exist alongside the Realme 5, so it’s not being phased out at the moment.
