    Anonymous, 16 May 2019If not for selfie camera and sw update madness, than lg v30... moreThis time ColorOS 6 has app drawer !

    So the nice combo will be: change the theme to have a look more "Android Stock" (in my case) and then install Nova Launcher to the overall design.

    Very nice phone.

                    No MicroSD slot and the audio quality as such is not flawless either...

                    Guess I'll have to wait ages just to replace my Redmi 2 Prime... or shell out solid cash for Galaxy S10.

                      luisfigueira, 15 May 2019Very interesting phone ! Anyone knows if there's some th... moreYes of course. Change the launcher and you can tweak the ui to your hearts content. I personally have been using Nova launcher for years. I have no idea how miui looks on my phone as I have never used the stock launcher ever.

                        No SD card slot on a budget phone with low internal storage is a dealbreaker.

                          "One thing that's unlike any other Realme, and that's a bad thing, is the absence of a microSD slot. The card tray has cutouts for just two nanoSIMs, when every other Realme to date has had a third one dedicated to storage expansion."

                          Can't they at least make the 2nd SIM slot to be a hybrid one, for old Pete's sake?! Especially when the base storage starts from 64GB!!

                            Very interesting phone !

                            Anyone knows if there's some themes that change the UI to not be like iOS ? (like the notification center, control panel icons, etc.)

                                Anonymous, 15 May 2019Yea so fast indeed but their are some other companies brand... moreActually many manufacturers send a review device to some review sites like GSMarena and make them sign an nda.

                                So the website has plenty of time to review the device before it is launched. The review is then kept aside and once the handset is launched the nda is lifted and the website is published.

                                If Samsung doesn't send a handset for review then websites will take their time in writing a review and will definitely prioritize their time on manufacturers who take the trouble to disburse review handsets readily.

                                  emmc or ufs storage (especially on the 8gb ram variant)?
                                  I'm guessing emmc 5.1?

                                    irony is ,what one plus 7 has done in USD 700, realme has done the same in under USD 300

                                        Then it will be reverse from everyone with glass back phones using plastic cases for protection :-)
