Realme 7 5G Review | This or the Pro? By Tech Spurt

So, like a lot of Chinese smartphone manufacturers, Realme has been really effing busy in 2020. I've featured no less than nine of their blowers right here on expert in this absolute garbage fire of the year, not to mention smartwatches, fitness bands and all kinds of other shenanigans and that's why, when people ask me how many Netflix shows I burn through during lockdown, I merely reply with manic, wild eyed laughter. Now I recently covered the realm 7 and the Realme 7 pro, which offer different premium experiences on the cheap, and now they've been joined by the realm 75g, a 279 pound handset, which has a lot of DNA with that vanilla, Realme seven, but also boosts those specs in a couple of key areas, one of those areas, naturally being the 5g support. Now for my sims, stuffed inside the real realm 7 5g for roughly a week now so here's my in-depth review of this affordable, future-proofed, blower and from one of the latest greatest tech. Please do put subscribe and hitting that notifications bell cheers now. Anyone who's seen the standard, realm 7 will immediately get that nagging sense of d?j? vu upon clapping eyes on the 5g 5 model.

It is, after all, essentially the same design here, except the camera chassis, which is now a bit of a wide boy instead of super long as before, you have that rather snazzy split finish, which makes the plastic ass look a bit more premium than some rivals, and that matte finish means that it's not too susceptible to picking up greasy prints as well, and a quick buff and usually sorts it right out and durability, certainly isn't an issue either. Despite that plaque backing the Realme 75g is yet to pick up a single scratch or nick, which is great to see and around front as well. You've got a gorilla glass 3 display covered with a screen protector to keep it doubly safe, but yeah. Not too surprisingly. The Realme 75g is another bloody, big beast, proving a proper handful for everyday use, as well as a bit of a hefty monster as well at nearly 200 grams.

So it's definitely a good thing that you've got that one-handed help courtesy of a screen shrinking mode that isn't too awkward to call up, plus the nifty corner, swipe gesture which pulls app icons down towards the bottom of your desktop and as any Realme fans out. There will know. These features are all part and parcel of the Realme UI, which is a near identical twin to the color OS launcher, and here it sits on top of android 10. It's hoping that android 11 isn't too far off and the overall day-to-day software experience has been perfectly enjoyable here on the realm 75g as usual, no funny quirks to speak of, thankfully, you've got all your standard features like a bit of NFC support for your contactless payments, and you've also got a rather generous 120 gigs of storage, stuffed in here as well, which is expandable via micros and that's in a separate slot from the dual sim slots and on top of all that, you've also got some extra bonus bits, including a reliable face recognition tool which offers an alternative, unlocking option alongside the responsive, edge mounted fingerprint sensor. And if you want a proper in-depth look at the software here on the realm 7 5g then definitely go check out my full realm UI tips and tricks guide, which is live right now and a bit of a stoner.

If I do say so myself now Realme smartphones usually have pretty solid media chops. Even at this sort of budget price point and the Realme 75g does not. Disappoint. You've got a 6.5 inch. IPS screen packing a full HD resolution and that serves up plenty of fine detail when you're perusing picks or viewing a bit of video colors aren't as poppy as those spewed forth by the real me.

Seven pros gorgeous OLED panel, but neither do they appear muted, when you're watching a bit of vivid content and contrast levels are perfectly respectable for an IPS panel too. Unfortunately, at the time of shooting this review, I still can't get anything to actually stream on Disney plus. But that's because I am reviewing a pre-release model, so it obviously hasn't got full support for Disney plus just yet, but that should be rectified when the phone actually goes on. Sale. Fingers crossed touch, word, etc.

, and, while the regular realm 7 swaggered about all fancy like with its plush 90 hertz, display the Realme 75g, actually pumps that right up to a 120, hertz refresh rate, to match some rivals like the Xiaomi mi 10 t lite, and by default the Redmi 75g automatically scales the refresh from 60 to 120, based on what you're actually doing at the time. But you can't stick it on 120 hertz, full time. If you want those silky smooth animations when you're flicking through apps menus whatever, although of course as usual, not all apps support, 120 hertz and the audio is on point on the Realme seven 5g, as well, even from that bottom mounted mono speaker, which packs a decent cloud on top volume with reasonable clarity. But of course you will need to hook up a respectable pair of headphones to enjoy the Dolby Atmos audio. Here on the real me, seven 5g, you got support for the usual cord ESC and all that good stuff, and I found that the Bluetooth performance was absolutely flawless.

Whether I was streaming to true Alex earbuds speakers whatever and yes, you do have a headphone jack down below for a proper wired connection. Now I was very interested in the performance here too, because the Realme 75g is one of very few phones to hit the UK pack in one of MediaTek's dimension chipsets. What you got in here is the MediaTek density 800u, which has full 5g support built in and that works on two sims simultaneously in quite an energy efficient manner. But when it comes to sheer grunt, you've got similar performance here to other 5dfi phones around this price too, like the mi 10t lite, with its snapdragon 750 g chipset, my review model packed six gigs of ram, and it absolutely smashed its way through endless games of Call of Duty mobile, maintaining a constant frame rate. Even when I took those detail settings all the way up with a fast 180 hertz touch sampling rate, the touchscreen controls were a match for the fast-paced game player too.

So you better believe that were feeling the pain that I brought. I brought all the pin, and they felt it hard and, like the original Realme seven front as well. This handset is pretty ruddy good when it comes to the battery life too. In fact, if anything, it seems to be a little better, probably helped along by that energy. Efficient MediaTek chipset you've once again got a mighty 5 000 William cell, just like the vanilla, realm 7, and I found this took at least a day and a half a pretty intensive use, and I'm talking skyping camera play media streaming, all that good stuff before it finally drains and when it is finally time to refill the bugger you've got support for 30 watt dart charge, as well so about an hour plugged in you'll, have pretty much a full battery again.

So the Realme 75g is a slight upgrade in a few areas over the original handset, as well as adding in that lovely 5g support. But when it comes to the camera tech, there is no real change. This blower's 48 megapixel primary shooter uses the same Samsung sensor as the European version of the original realm 7 and, sadly, once again, it is easily done in by less than perfect shooting conditions. This thing captures Pixar 12 megapixels by default, using four in one pixel bin and for supposedly brighter cleaner results when needed. However, I found that indoor shots were still often warm or grainy when you check them back on something bigger than the phone screen, unless you make sure that the lighting is very tight indeed, while any kind of motion from your subject often results in a blurry image, low light snaps usually come out really dull with the auto mode.

Although the dedicated night mode helps to rectify this problem to some degree, if conditions are good, then thankfully you can expect a sharp image, even with the 12 megapixel default mode, complete with colors that aren't too far off real life, be careful when you're shooting against bright skies. However, because once again, those optics struggle, often over saturating. The final pick, the rest of the rookie 7 5g's camera lenses are also cribbed from the standard real m7, including a simple 8 megapixels, ultra-wide angle snapper, which tends to produce darker warmer shots than that primary sensor, and you've also got a very basic 2, megapixel macro lens, and a black and white monochrome portrait lens as well to bring the grand total up to four. You can shoot up to 4k resolution video here on the realm 75g and again, as long as the conditions are all right, you'll end up with decent enough hot movies. The focus tends to cook fine with moving subjects and audio is cleanly captured as long as there isn't much wind interference.

Even the image stabilization is pretty decent at that ultra HD level and then finally, around front that 16 megapixel selfie shooter is again rather limited in how it cops with adversity, often producing whitewashed shots in strong lighting, but the portraits mods are respectable and overall, it is fine for simple shareable shots, so that right there is my full final verdict on the realm 7 5. Do you have to use that as my full-time smartphone for a week and as you can see, you're not just getting that extra 5g support on there? You've got a couple of little bonuses compared with the vanilla model, including a 120hz display and even better battery life. However, it is a fair chunk of change more expensive than the standard realm 7 as well, and I'd say if you're not too bothered about that 5g support. I'd, probably rather go with the Realme 7 pro, because it definitely boasts the better camera tech ensure that all that display is locked at 60 hertz, but it is an absolute stunner too and of course, there are some strong rivals out there, like the 10 tea light, which can be bagged for a little less cash. So what do you think of the real me? Seven, five g?

You.
