Mauritiusbleu, 14 Jul 2023I think Realme cell phone store and Realme dream store are ... moreThank you very much for all the info mate, my only concerns are about the Chinese ROM and LTE bands. I live in a rural area where B20 is very common, so that's a bit of a drawback for me. Related to Chinese ROM, does it have problems with Widevine, Play Protect and VoLTE? Sorry for all these questions but I just gotta be sure about everything before buying. Thank you in advance and sorry for my English

The seller should have put a lower value on the invoice, it might have helped you to avoid paying the import tax.
I also brought this phone instead of the Poco F5, The Poco F5 has a better camera and possibly has better speakers, but has smaller screen, smaller battery and slower charging speed. infact, if I was going to spend more money I would have purchased the Realme GT neo 5 150w instead. I think the GT 5 se might be the best phone right now when you compare price to performance 👍

Mauritiusbleu, 14 Jul 2023I think Realme cell phone store and Realme dream store are ... moreI also bought it, I have already paid for my countries importing taxes and am currently waiting for the post office to send it to me, what can take up to 2 weeks - lots of people importing here in Brazil for the past 2 weeks.
Anyhow, I've read - over at realme's official forums - that they haven't reopened their oficial bootloader and that it has been closed for about 3 months, if not more.
I'm not quite sure what that's fort, nevertheless, one can argue and expect that, if they are display such a problem with a service of them, that can also happen regarding OS updates.
I've read something regarding that recently, comparing that software aspect to Poco F5, though, I also bought Neo 5se as it was cheaper with pretty much the same specs as Poco F5.
I hope the OS/software aspect of the phone isn't a major letdown.

amongoose, 14 Jul 2023Where did you buy it from? I can't find it for such a ... moreI think Realme cell phone store and Realme dream store are both the official Realme stores on AliExpress. I brought my phone from Realme dream store. Both stores have gold ratings, and great reviews from a lot of satisfied customers. Also, both of these stores ship the phone in 24 hours.
Realme dream store was very helpful and answered all my questions. I live in the UK and this is the 4th phone that I have purchased from China with the Chinese Rom. I've had the Xiaomi mi max 1, Huawei Honor note 8 and my current phone is the Huawei honor note 10. I've never had a problem, infact, all the phones have been fantastic, and very cheap. If you have any questions feel free to ask. 👍

amongoose, 14 Jul 2023Where did you buy it from? I can't find it for such a ... moreHello, I brought it on AliExpress, they had a 3 day discount. I had a store discount and an AliExpress discount combined. Even though the discount period is over you can still get the 8gb 256g version for a very low price. It's £236 for the black model and £232 for the blue model. Another seller has the blue model for £229, that's the total price including free shipping. The same seller also has the Neo GT 5 for £289 for the 8g 256gb 150w version. I would get the 150w version because it has a bigger battery and will fully charge in about 20 mins
You might be able to also find a discount code on Google and get it even cheaper but at £229 - £236 for the neo GT5 se is super cheap for the power of the phone, size of the battery, fast charging and oled screen.

It has a bigger battery, larger screen, 100w fast charger and snapdragon 7 gen 2. I don't think you can find a better phone at this price. The neo GT 5 is maybe a bit better as you get OIS with the main camera and even faster charging. If you want Xiaomi, get the Poco F5. But I think the realme neo GT 5 and 5se are the best phones for the money. I would by the Realme neo 5 instead of the Poco F5 because it's cheaper and has more value for money

I've just purchased this amazing phone and I'm waiting for it to arrive. I brought the 16gb ram with 256gb storage. I decided to buy the neo GT 5se, instead of the Neo GT 5. I wanted the bigger battery, and the Snapdragon 7 gen 2 has fantastic reviews. I paid £216 for the phone and I'm totally excited. I can't believe how cheap it was. :)

We have the same networks in Canada that they have in the US. The seller i bought it from on Ali express said he would unlock it with a Chinese sim card and send it to me and that seems to have unlocked the region on my phone with no issues. I would recommend to anyone buying this phone to make sure to ask the seller to use their Chinese sim card to unlock the phone. Otherwise it's a phenomenal phone.

I'm a solo traveler and for the first time of my life I'm using a Realme phone from the Philippines and it work perfectly awesome. I used it in India, Egypt and in Mexico currently with a shocking reaction my brothers I cant believe it there's no issues with this phone. Just make sure to take note that mostly this phone manufactured from China are GSM phone not working to CDMA type like Verizon in US networks. Hello Cebu, Philippines again next week.
