Editorial report

Realme Q5 technical sheet

The Realme Q5 suits anyone looking for a large display and fast charging, but this China version does not include Google Services. Its 6.6″ display has a pixel density of 400 ppi, higher than that of most phones launched around the same time. The 120 Hz refresh rate is typical for phones of its time rather than a distinguishing feature.

The 5,000 mAh battery has a typical capacity, while its 65 W fast charging is higher-powered than that of most. For photography, the 1/1.56″ sensor is larger than that of most phones of its time. The 50 MP camera has a typical resolution and lacks optical image stabilization. It records video at 1080p at 30 fps, and the phone also has a 2 MP macro camera and a 16 MP front camera.

This version pairs 6 GB of RAM with 128 GB of expandable storage. The Realme Q5 is also sold in configurations up to 12 GB / 256 GB. It includes Android 12, a 3.5 mm audio jack, USB Type-C, and Dual Nano-SIM. Overall, its performance, display, camera, battery, and connectivity are typical among phones launched around the same time. With an overall NeoScore of 5.6, it is a fit for people who prioritize a high-density display and fast charging and can do without Google Services in this version.
