After Reality 5, Vivo has now launched Vivo U10 and Xiaomi Redmi Note 8 smartphones in the price segment of less than Rs 10,000. Reality has now removed its Realme 5S smartphone in the market. As its name indicates that it is a slight upgrade avatar of Realme 5.

Apart from these two things, Realme 5S smartphone is similar to Reality 5. The price of Realme 5 in the market is now Rs 8,999 and the price of Reality 5S is Rs 9,999. We have seen this new smartphone of Reality Brand by test, so let’s know about it …
Realme 5s design
Reality 5S The design and features of are similar to Realme 5. The thickness of this new reality phone is 9.3 millimeters, the back panel of the phone has the same diamond-cut pattern. The placement of the button is good, let us know that on the left side of the phone you will get a triple-slot tray, two Nano-SIM and separate microSD card slot.
The back panel is still made of polycarbonate, spots are easily in the back of the phone. Realme 5S has a 6.5 -inch display, let us know that the screen protector on the display is already engaged. The edges around the phone are thin but the border under the screen is thick.
One thing that may disappoint is that the resolution is HD+ (1600×720) which is fine to see every day but not much sharp like a full-HD+ display. Corning Gorilla Glass 3+ protection has also been used on the screen.
The lower part of the Reality 5S has micro-USB port, headphone jack and single speaker instead of Type-C. The placement of the camera module is similar to Realme 5. The back panel has a capacitive fingerprint sensor for security, it works properly while unlocling the phone.
The Reality 5S has a face unlock feature, for the information of the people, let us know that it works properly even in low light. Like Reality 5, you will get the same accessories with Reality 5S, including 10 watt charger and silicone case.
Realme 5s Specifications and Software
The specification of Reality 5S is very similar to Reality 5. The Realme brand’s smartphone uses Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor and has two variants of Reality 5S, its 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage variants are priced at Rs 9,999.
The price of 4 GB RAM and 128 GB storage variants of Realme 5S is Rs 10,999. We have a 128 GB variant of Reality 5S for review. Reality phones have dual-4G VoLTE support, dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 AC, Bluetooth 5 and similar sensors.
Realme 5S will get a 5,000 mAh battery to revive life but it does not come with fast charging support. The Reality 5S smartphone runs on the ColoroS 6.0.1 based on Android Pie. Our review unit runs on the October Security Patch.
Realme X2 Pro (Review) runs on version 6.1 of this UI, this version also has a system-wide dark mode and Google Digital Welbeing feature. The phone has many apps already pre-install, third-party apps can also be uninstall. According to the company’s roadmap, Realme 5S will get Coloros 7 update in May next year. Oppo has recently launched ColorOS 7 in India.
Realme 5s Performance and Battery Life
Reality 5S is a big phone, also in pocket and also to use with one hand. The display is quite bright while using outdoor, not only that, where there is noise, a clear sound from the earpiece is heard. Android went well and multitasking was also managed in our experience.
While switching between heavy apps, the phone slowed down a bit but our experience was good for the most part. Realme 5S is not very hot but it is a little hot during gaming. Snapdragon 665 is not the best processor for heavy games but PUBG mobile on low or medium settings moves correctly, PUBG Mobile Lite is more favorable for this phone. Games like Alto’s Odyssey went correctly. Explain that there is no audio enhancement for the speaker.
Like Reality 5, Reality 5S also has a 5,000 mAh battery but we saw an increase in our battery loop test runtime. The Realme 5S smartphone lasted for a total of 27 hours and 16 minutes, it is extremely impressive. Remember that Reality 5 smartphone supported for 22 hours. With general use, the phone can support for two days.
This smartphone of Realme brand does not support fast charging and neither the charger with the phone is more powerful. The Battery of Reality 5S was charged up to 23 percent in half an hour and in an hour the phone battery was charged 43 percent, which is not very good.
Realme 5s Cameras
Realme 5 was the first smartphone in India to come with four cameras for less than Rs 10,000. Reality 5S has a 48 -megapixel camera sensor instead of 12 megapixels. The camera comes with PDAF support and 10X digital zoom. The other three rear cameras are similar to Reality 5.
8 megapixel wide-angle camera, 2 megapixel depth camera and 2 megapixel macro camera sensor have been given. There is a 13 -megapixel front camera for selfie and video calling, its aperture F/2.0. You will be familiar with the camera app, you will get buttons for wide-angle lens, HDR, flash etc. above the viewfinder, while the shooting mode shortcut and the sutton button are placed below.
The wide-angle camera can be used for video shooting and the nitscape mode also works with it. There is still no option to adjust the background blur in portrait mode. Nightscape cannot be used to take selfies.
The primary camera sensor in daylight captures a better dynamic range and details than Realme 5. Portrait mode with better exposure and skin tone is well handled. Close-up shots also have good contrasts with good details.
The camera app default saves a 12 megapixel picture by default, but you can also save a full 48 megapixel picture if you want. Pictures drawn from wide-angle camera compared to primary camera sensor led to lack of details and colors also did not look right.
The macro camera comes with low resolution but if the light is enough, you can also capture sharp shots. Realme 5 is very struggled in low light but Reality 5S takes photos with a slightly better white balance and colors.
Nightscape helps a little in correcting the exposure and taking better details but Realme 5S is not always a clear winner. In some cases we preferred shots taken from Realme 5. The day -to -day selfie came with natural skin tone and correct details.
Portrait mode still needs a little work because the background blur effect is very aggressive. In low light, the selfie camera struggles with details, as well as a glimpse of noys in the photos. You can also shoot with a wide-angle camera but the quality drops. The video quality was also below average at 1080 resolution in low light.
Our decision
Reality 5S smartphone is a very modest upgrade version of Reality 5 of the company. The new primary camera sensor provides a slightly better result in daylight but still struggles in low light and video. To stay in competition, we feel that something else could be done with Realme 5S. When Realme 5 was launched a few months ago, it was a good phone but now there are new options like Redmi Note 8 and Vivo U20 in the market, both come with high resolution display.
