Realme 5 Pro Review

The Realme 5 Pro, launched back in 2019, was a game changer in the budget smartphone market. Powered by the Snapdragon 712, a quad camera setup and VOOC fast charging, it delivered serious value for money. But in 2025, does it still hold up? At Reloved Gadgets, we put it through its paces to find out if it's worth considering as a refurbished buy.

Advantages

Solid Performance
Thanks to the Snapdragon 712 AIE processor and 4GB/6GB/8GB RAM options, the Realme 5 Pro still offers smooth multitasking and decent gaming performance for everyday users.

Quad Camera Setup
The 48MP main sensor captures crisp images in good lighting. You also get an ultra-wide lens, macro lens and depth sensor not bad for a budget device.

VOOC Fast Charging (20W)
The 4,035mAh battery might not be huge by 2025 standards, but Realme’s VOOC 3.0 fast charging makes up for it, juicing up the phone in just over an hour.

Good Display
The 6.3" FHD IPS panel with Corning Gorilla Glass 3+ protection still looks sharp and vibrant  ideal for media consumption on a budget.

Disadvantages

No AMOLED Display
In a market now flooded with AMOLED panels, the Realme 5 Pro’s IPS display can feel a little dated.

Outdated Software
It shipped with Android 9 Pie. While it received updates to Android 10 and some versions got Android 11, don’t expect the latest features or security patches.

Plastic Build
The design still looks modern, but the plastic back is more prone to scratches compared to today’s glass/metal phones.

No 5G Support
In 2025, lack of 5G can be a deal breaker for some users in urban areas where 5G is now mainstream.
