Keyboard popping when opening app drawer can be disabled.
Open app drawer and in top right click "Manage" and then select "App drawer settings" and turn off "Display keyboard when entering app drawer"

Realme must consider keeping that setting turned off by default as it's annoying.

    I must say, i sheerly like the device overall, but it lacked a bit productivity in camera department to leave me satisfied. I honestly appreciate that realme has given both 3,5mm and SD card this time around, that is honestly praise worthy. But having branded Sony sensor made me regret that i couldn't use it to its fullest.

    Not so long time ago i came upon prices on Apple products from some local retailer store, and they ve proposed iPhone SE 2020 , from their leftovers, obviously, for the price €289. I just thought that, having all that hype and being capable of 4k/60 and higher antutu scores the price was not high.

    I just wanted this particular device to be that capable too, but for its own price 🫣 sorry for long story. 😊

      Sorry to tell you this isn't about gsmarena Vs my education

      It's about one objective truth:

      They can be criticized and there is always room for improvement

      It's obvious too just by share quantity they have heavy review representation on flagships and upper midrangers

      It's only logical they will be less In tune with budget/entry level smartphone.. so that critique is logically sound and very valid

          Particularly, I'm not a big fan of this design line, but I have to admit that I think this one in this color is very pretty. I see "good" specs with the exception of the processor. The camera is what you would expect for this price, but they could have integrated a better chipset👍

            This is one very decent phone!
            It covers all the basics.

            Jack,Stereo speakers,Good battery life,Micro sd, Fast charging, decent screen, average camera(but still good for what it is), Flat screen, Good price and more...

            Honestly this the most "wholesome" phone released recently.

            One think not like though... No HRR gaming... Why this still persist, I have no bl00dy idea.

                I should admit, the overall idea of the particular phone is good. But how they brought it to life is doubtful.

                The processor, needless to say, is so underwhelming, it can't either compete with others, nor even use the cameras benefit to its fullest : a no 4k/60.

                The camera division should admittedly however be the most selling point, right? But due to processors restrictions it just doesn't deliver what it should. And Moreover the photos look both unnatural and not detailed. These are oversaturated and overprocessed as well. That's not right approach if you advertise your camera as semi professional.

                A no go phone for me, unfortunately.

                  I prefer motorola edge 40 neo over this crappie realme 🙄... The uw camera from edge 40 neo already has an af... Better screen quality.... Slightly better chip performance and also have better built quality imo

                        [deleted post]I know right,first of all the specs sheet says that theres no headphone jack

                        And then when you read the design page they show the top of the phone which have the headphone jack on the top left

                        And then they suddenly said there's no headphone jack on the connectivity part of the review

                                    This is a great example of the marketing spin that Realme dishes out.

                                    "MasterShot Algorithm", "flagship-grade quality", "NightEye Engine", "optimized bokeh", "FlashSnap", and "Street mode".

                                    The reality? Poor camera performance!

                                      Anonymous, 12 Apr 2024G84 is way better The Moto G84? In what way? Its cameras aren't. I doubt the SD 695 is either!

                                        All offered alternatives are more expensive. Some of them more than 100€.
