Realme 5s is a Realme 5 but with a 48MP quad camera setup and a new red color

Realme and Xiaomi’s sub-brand have a lot in common. Both of the brands offer impressively specced smartphones at fiercely competitive pricing. Of the two, Realme has witnessed a much more staggering growth over the past several months and that is probably because of their relentless launches new phones every month. But today, Realme is following Redmi’s footsteps and revitalizing a few months old smartphone with a new camera setup. Alongside their first true flagship – Realme X2 Pro, Realme is launching the Realme 5s which comes with a 48MP primary camera.

In August this year, Realme launched its first set of quad-camera smartphones viz. the Realme 5 and the Realme 5 Pro. While the Pro variant comes with a 48MP Sony IMX586 sensor, the non-Pro features a 12MP primary camera. To bridge this gap, Realme has announced the Realme 5s, which features a 48MP primary camera while the rest of the specs remain the same. Notably, Realme is using a 48MP Samsung ISOCELL Bright GM1 sensor here instead of the Sony sensor we saw on the previous 48MP phones from the company.

Additionally, Realme has also introduced a new Crystal Red color with the same design as the previous generations. Another slight change on the new smartphone is the Gorilla Glass 3+ protection on the front compared to the Gorilla Glass 3 on the Realme 5. Additionally, the Realme 5s comes only with 4GB of RAM but no 3GB/32GB variant. All of the other aspects, including the 6.5-inch HD+ display, Snapdragon 665 SoC, 5,000mAh battery, etc. remain unchanged.
