Realme 7 5g full review with detailed in formation

 

today we have the latest device from realme the 7-5 g which is a budget play as you would probably expect knowing the brand this one here is expected to come in below 300 usd now the event hasn't taken place at the time that i'm filming this the announcement for this device so it could change a little bit but i've been told it's gonna drop for somewhere under 300 bucks and as usual you're going to be examining this spec sheet and you might be surprised at what you can end up with for that particular price point so i have two colors in front of me here mist blue and silver it's got the demensity 800u 5g chip from mediatek it's also got some fast charging in there 30 watt dart charge and a 5 000 milliamp hour battery that's kind of a bonus a plus it has a 120 hertz ultra smooth display 120 hertz display under 300 bucks i believe this is 

the first time i've ever seen that and then it's also got a 48 megapixel ai quad camera so let's crack into both of these and catch a glimpse at the two different color options so fast charge big battery 120 hertz display i have to think this would be a popular choice

 for media consumption because you got the battery life and then to go with it you got the displays maybe even a little gaming i don't know we might have to boot up a game we'll see how that goes all right welcome to the realme family and as is usual here we're getting the extras right away

 including a case to get you started when you purchase the device you see this more frequently for some reason in the budget devices where it's a very aggressive marketplace and they got to do every every bit of extra to keep your business they're 

going to include a case so you can protect your device straight out the gate it's also a little bit of paperwork in there and then here are the two phones so first up that looks to me like the silver and on the other side we have the mist blue and so let's go ahead and just remove the plastic wrap here and this sticker oh i remember this blue this is a nice sort of gradient it's one of the things they do well they give you these unique colors and and they tend to
 shift depending on the reflection of the light well this one starts out with a kind of light blue up along the top and then fades into an almost black down at the bottom the whole thing has a brushed or almost matte kind of finish to it so it should be fairly resistant to fingerprints i always pay attention to that especially with the glossy backs that you see on so many devices out there you can see the camera module which outlines 48 megapixels there are of course a number of different camera units represented there on the bottom of the device you have your usb type 

c connector to use that 30 watt dart charge as well as a headphone jack so dedicated 3.5 if you want to use a wired connection we have our fingerprint scanner inside the power switch so you have this little recess and i gotta be honest with you guys i've been uh you know recently using a phone that only has face unlock and with the current state of the globe and wearing the mask it's a bit annoying especially for mobile payments since you have you know you're wearing the mask well this is just a very comfortable fingerprint unlock and to be honest i kind of miss having

\

 a fingerprint unlock on the phone so this one is inside of the power switch volume buttons are over on the other side of the device sim card tray is there and i can tell straight away that we have a hole punch set up for the front-facing selfie camera which is up in the top corner there which is probably my favorite implementation i don't know i go back and forth on this sometimes the center one gets me because it's a little more symmetrical but from a practical perspective to have it in the bottom corner disrupts your video just a little bit less so that is the mist blue next up we have the silver model and oh my

 goodness this one is somehow a little more flashy with the large real me logo which also reflects light in different ways it's very very silver it's super silver so if you're looking for something maybe a little flashier to be honest then this is probably what you would select otherwise if you're more subdued or subtle like me you might reach for the blue also inside the package we of course have our power brick over here and as mentioned that's a 30 watt power brick plus there's also your usb type c to a cable that you'll use to charge this up that's the biggest logo i've ever seen

 on smartphone this time around i'm gonna set up the silver one i think i did the blue last time around so let me go ahead and boot this up so the most exciting one for me is the 120 hertz display i like a fast refresh rate i've told you about that in the past getting up to at least 90 makes a difference for my eyes and the general feeling of snappiness on the device but 120 is obviously a step better and up until this point at least in my studio here it's been really expensive devices only

 that are shipping with that particular feature above 120 hertz oh and as far as the dart charge is concerned at 30 watts this will go from zero to 100 charge in about 65 minutes i mean look at the package deal look at the picture this is once again for under 300 bucks you have a fairly decent screen to body ratio over here now i'm gonna do what i would normally do 

on any device that's claiming to have a faster screen refresh which is head into the settings and see what's enabled by default and we head over to screen refresh so by default they have an auto select setting which will select the best refresh rate for a particular application so it would try to gauge are you using a game or something in which case it's going to boost it up and then in order to save battery life in other circumstances it may toggle it back to 60 hertz now of course that's not what i want i want the 120 hertz all the time in fact probably the most rewarding part for

 me of having a fast refresh is just simply sitting there addictively scrolling through my applications watching them without any type of blur so let's go ahead and select 120 this device does have a 5 000 milliamp hour battery so if if if a device can handle the faster refresh maybe this is the one so immediately now would you look at me look at that i mean you can't

really see it because you don't have enough frames in what you're watching but i promise you this is buttery smooth and it's not something that any iphone user has ever experienced no it's great i mean 120 is great it's people have this argument conversation all the time do you need it don't you need it well we could say the same about every single feature the smartphone go do we say do you need all those megapixels do you need that wide angle lens do you need a decent selfie camera do you need a big battery i mean we could have this conversation about any feature

 on a smartphone so i'm just going to go out there and say that if i can have it i want to have it alright period now speaking of the camera let's boot that baby up we have a 2 megapixel black and white lens f 2.4 we have an 8 megapixel ultra wide lens with 119 degree wide angle field of view we have a 48 megapixel ultra high resolution camera with an f 1.8 lens and there's also a macro lens with a four centimeter focusing distance you also have something called ultra image

 stabilization max which real me claims is stable as a rock oh and by the way actually before i boot up that camera i just want to show you real quick this fingerprint scanner it's surprisingly snappy and i'm telling you i've been saying it the fingerprint is still the way it's crazy 2020 the fingerprint is still the way and it became even more away considering what i told you earlier about the fact that we're covering our faces in 2020 and the capacitive as opposed to the end screen

 actually in many cases wins for speed so i kind of miss it a little bit the dedicated button whether it's on the back or right inside the power button they have a nice implementation right here but let's bring out the trusty plant and the one dollar bill here real quick for our photo sample all right so i snapped a couple of photos and uh dare i say i'm catching some detail uh look at the fibers i mean we have fibers and look we're picking up the fonts over here legal tender look at the fibers

 in the print paper fibers pulp once again i'll just say it sub 300 look what's happening we just had this conversation off camera we're saying man you pay less than half the money of a flagship at least in here in north america less than half what percentage of the way towards the flagship are you in terms of performance it's definitely you're more than halfway let's put it that way in at least in most smartphone circumstances so here's what we have for versatility we have the main cam we have the ultra wide we have the first set of zoom and then we have the secondary zoom so we have uh you know some pretty decent reach on that thing and uh and some surprising

 results we'll do the selfie as well okay oh my goodness gracious i'm i'm in beauty mode right now like what has happened to me who is this person i am peachy i am smooth if you need to use the beauty mode no problemo do what you got to do i'll take uh i'll take the pain of reality here all right so that's better i like that beard hair count everything is uh realistic okay next up let's try to boot up a little bit of video and see how the audio sounds and also when we maximize

 a video see how the screen deals with it i have so many people asking me about the playstation 5 in real life in regular life yeah and not just online not just messages things like this you know what it actually it sounds pretty good it sounds fairly full we are it's been a while holy moly uh for good reason so there you have it the realme 7 5g 5g now available in a device with a 120 hertz display of 5 000 milliamp hour battery and a sub 300 usd price point available in a couple of different colors as mentioned the mist blue as well as the silver let me know down in the comments which of these two you would select for yourself man the value for money smartphone marketplace keeps staying hot it keeps staying hot and it's good for you as a customer you have more options a greater selection and you end up with better phones for less money you
