Featuring MTK Helio G99 SoC inside, Realme 10 4G was the first phone to launch from Realme’s successive numbered series. Despite their global launch with 10 4G, the Chinese phone maker has silently unveiled a secondary 5G variant exclusively for the home market.
Unlike G99 on 4G, the 5G Realme 10 comes with MediaTek’s Dimensity 700 7nm chip. It’s an energy-efficient chipset with an integrated 5G modem capable of boosting multiple cores at 2.2GHz. The Realme 9 successor uses the same 950MHz Mali-G57 GPU as Helio G99.
The latest Realme 5G model bears a 6.6-inch IPS panel with a notch melting into the screen. Users will find a 90Hz refresh rate plus 180Hz touch sampling rate, 401 pixels per inch density, peak 400 nits brightness, and an impressive 90.4 percent bezel-to-screen ratio.
Powered by Android 12 OS, atop Realme UI 3.0, the phone has 8Gigs of LPDDR4x RAM expanded virtually to 14Gigs. The RAM teams up with either 128Gigs or 256Gigs of UFS 2.2 storage. It still retains an SDcard slot, even though it has a large enough capacity. Overall a valuable addition to the Realme rate list.
In addition to a front-facing 8-megapixel selfie shooter, Realme 10 5G has a rear camera setup boasting 50-megapixel primary sensor, followed by a 2-megapixel macro and an AI sensor. All three units pop out of the shell without the traditional squarish protrusion.
Its slim 8.1mm chassis has flat edges added with a side-mounted fingerprint scanner on the right, volume keys on the left, a type C port, plus a 3.5mm jack down at the bottom. Under the hood, a 5000mAh juicer rated for 33W fast charging powers the hardware. The upper variant (8+256) costs around 222$, and the lower variant (8+128) costs ~181$, translating to Pakistani ~49,000 and 40,000 rupees, respectively.
