I have been using this phone for about 2.7 years, the durability is great. Drops and knocks it will take it like a champ. Good battery performance as well, have used to get 2 full days when bought new, now about 1 day with call of duty gaming. Well the positives end there. The stock ui (color os 6, ugly but works) that came with the phone, android 9 was smooth although it had some bugs. If you update it, then the phone is trash. The android 10 update has really bad ram management issues, more than a few apps it lags, freezes up completely, and is unresponsive for a few minutes. The camera is not even worth talking about, its better not having a camera on this device. In apps like whatsapp it has issues with the keyboard not coming up, and several other fantastic bugs. Bottomline, don't update and u r good, dont try to install custom rom if u r inexperienced because it will brick it, I have had instances where I almost bricked it just by rolling back to cos 6
PS: One thing to note is the screen quality is really bad, if you have auto brightness on in sunlight, the screen will because white washed, even if you afterwards reduce brightness it will stay like that, blacks will be grey, greys will be white. I had to restart it everytime that happens to get it back to normal

Zachery, 14 Oct 2021Had this phone for 1 year and a half, it has become laggy a... moreI think if you buy a phone at least with Snapdragon 720G or any processor giving equivalent performance to it then it will be better for playing games. It has Snapdragon 665 which is not bad but may not be suitable for some heavy gaming.
By the way I play call of duty mobile on this phone, I play ranked tdm matches. I don't face any lag, my game settings are graphics on low and frame on high.
If you free at least 10 to 15 GB space on your phone then it won't lag. Also keep your phone and ram clean.
Clear the "cache" (not data) of your game and restart your phone before gaming.
Very minor lags sometimes may occur but frequent lags or frame drops shouldn't be there if you play on low graphics and high frame rate.

Whatever, 18 Apr 2022phone becomes laggy on every update, keeps glitching on eve... moreIt is sad to hear your experience. I have been using this phone since April 2020 and so far I haven't faced any kind of issue in anything. It was working very well on Android 9 and even after android update 10 it is working well, no issues faced.

Whatever, 18 Apr 2022phone becomes laggy on every update, keeps glitching on eve... moreDo you mean blacks out during whatsapp calls? My realme 5 pro does that during online calls as the screen is lifting and hence blocking the proximity sensor and making u think it always on your ear. If this is what's happening during calls push your finger down on the selfie camera and then when screen turns on, turn on speakerphone. If u don't like speaker phone and want to do something on the phone during the call u out of luck. In my local indonesian realme service center they do this specific repair for free as a repair program probably because they knew too late about the flaw and was not going to recall the phone over it. However for my phone the repair program after 6 months the glue stops holding again and stuck with the same issue. So yea if this is the case the program not really worth the time.

I've been using this phone since August 2020, I got the 4/64gb model. So far i had no software problem like ghost touch, touch delay, system lag, etc. with this. MAYBE this because I never upgrade the system and I always keeping the storage & RAM clean.
For the camera, audio & battery are still okay, It seems just like the same, No quality downgrade on the camera (If you want to increase the photo quality, you can try use GCam) & the battery doesn't drain fast. And for the hardware like backdoor, there are no many problems, my backdoor is just mushrooming and opening A BIT, but overall it's also still okay.
