The camera quality of a particular phone invariably affects the buying habits of a customer. So, mobile companies keep this propensity in mind while manufacturing their phones. How well Realme GT 5 does in this respect?

Well, there is not a clear yes or no. As of now, it has become a moot point, with some people finding the camera good while others don’t seem to be satisfied and not consider it as value for money. But the fact that there exist more people criticizing its camera than the one satisfied with it, makes the case for its problematic camera quality.

Furthermore, with the lack of EIS, the video stability is not if compared with its counterparts such as IQoo legend.

• No HDR Support In Netflix (Minor)

Having an HDR or high dynamic range feature undoubtedly augments the screen viewing experience as it offers brighter highlights and a larger set of color details. This Realme device has HDR when it comes to YouTube but has no HDR support in Netflix despite possessing SD888 and Widevine L1. 

• Bloatware (Minor)

What does this jargon mean? Well, a bloatware is kind of software or a bunch of applications that come pre-installed on a smartphone or computer.
