So here's my opinion: In term of customization, RealmeUI 2.0/3.0 is a bit superior than OneUI. Also it normally support Full Camera2api for Google Camera user, which Samsung doesn't have. In other side, OneUI is more user friendly but still.. not for advanced user. The lack of camera2api support is the reason. In term of security and software support, obviously Realme is far behind the One Ui. The OTA often comes late, plus they never updating their website for manual firmware support, which is unfortunate. So average user will happy with OneUI. But if you can't lived without Gcam, Realme is your best buddy and savior.

It's hard for me to give a correct answer to the question due to Realme UI on the Realme 3 Pro is Version 1.0 based on Android 10 which is very old and the hardware on the A52s is far more responsive than that of the 3 Pro.
          But would be much prefer Realme UI over One UI 4.0
          - You can enable Sim Data monitoring in more detail, realme UI will show data used/left in each days. I have 6GB/day plan and Realme UI let me limit data usage to exactly that number. One UI 4.0 can only do so in monthly manner.
          - Setting catagories in One UI 4.0 is arranged better than in Realme UI, but Realme UI let me find the setting I need more easily, One UI 4.0 just keeps showing unwanted results for some weird reason.
          - Realme UI will show used/free Ram. One UI can't.
          - Realme UI screen brightness slider is situated some centimetres above the phone's chin which is perfect to adjust using the thumb. One UI is right down the bottom, harder to adjust.
          - Realme UI swipe gestures is more responsive.
          - Switch to one-hand use is more easier on Realme UI.
          - Three fingers swipe down to capture screenshot is better than swipe palm across the screen.
          But One UI 4.0 is more features (better night mode, better widget...).
          You should have an hands on first then decide yourself as other people opinions are usually biased.

                  Does it suffer from PWM flicker?

I used poco f1, redmi note 3, mix 2 and zenfone 5z. You could calibrate their displays with custom kernels, no matter what you did the poco f1 and redmi note 3 displays looked poor, compared to mix 2 or 5z, which almost look like oleds.

                              Problem is cheap phones are calibrated by batch. And OEMs often have more than 1 supplier of screens for same models.

A52s is quite buggy, app animation is weird , stuttering on scrolling Amazon and Twitter and hate so much Samsung bloatware. Would you recommend realme UI as better ? Thinking to sell this and get the 9pro or pro+

                                  " The Sunrise Blue color option is an eye-catcher indeed. "

                                  What kind of pro is that ?!

                                  Are you reviewing a phone or a painting !
