Phone performs best on android 9, but the touchscreen feels sluggish sometimes need to tap multiple time to open an app or type a letter which is a big off for me

    I bought this in around May 2020, it worked well in 2020 and 2021 but from August 2022 it's been not that good overall. I played Call of Duty on it since 2020, it used to run very well but for the last 6 months or so it's been little freezes and lags in the game.

    I have 64 GB storage model and 20 to 25 GB storage is free. I have even reset it once but it doesn't seem to solve the problem. I don't know what happened to this, it used to work very well overall!

                            Don't buy this phone because other phones of realme is running on Android 12 or 13 but realme 5i can get updates after android 10 it is still based on Android 10 only and didn't get updates even not got android 11 update ...

                                  I also have this device, it's quite poor quality and neglected by its manufacturers.

                                      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

                                        I bought it 2yrs ago, doing fine, doing some heavy gaming too since Genshin come, often slips through my pocket but the durability is very good, prolly good for you if you looking for an secondary phone with reasonable price
