the real me one was the result of a partnership between Oppo and Amazon India it's real selling point was its price for around $100 but it came with some decent performance considering that low price it had great face unlocking it had a Helio P 60 processor which was fast enough for most tasks the biggest issue was the lack of a fingerprint sensor which for some people would have been a deal breaker then just months later Romi became its own brand and it came out with the real me - not only was this strange because it was so soon after the real me one but it's also stranger because it wasn't entirely an upgrade over the real me one it fixed some of the issues it had a fingerprint sensor and the camera was a big improvement now a dual lens camera with a much higher megapixel count it also had a whopping 4230 million power battery which could go for a long time in fact it was one of the best phones that I've used in terms of longevity thanks for that low resolution combined with that huge battery unfortunately also took some steps backwards the screen was a lower resolution at 720p and the processor was the snapdragon 450 which is actually significantly slower and then just a few months after that realme is come out with a real meaty pro which is actually the upgrade that the real me - should have been by a long margin it's a very often when an OEM brings out a range of devices you'll see them laid out in the show room left to right so that you have the cheapest and oldest device with the lowest specs on the left and it will progress slowly to the right with the newest and most expensive and powerful device on the right however that wouldn't be a very accurate representation in this case rather we'd have the real me one and two on top of each other like that with their strange neck-and-neck specs and then we'd have the real me - pro all the way over here because it's that much better it's not quite perfect so let's take a look and see how it does so in terms of specs and performance like I say this is a huge upgrade over the real me - this time around are getting these Snapdragon 668 SOC which gives you far better performance for gaming you should easily be able to handle most of the games on the Play Store it's not a workhorse by any stretch of the imagination this isn't one of the most powerful devices out there but it's more than enough for the vast majority of tasks and it's a significant step up from either of the two previous models it comes with up to 8 gigabytes of RAM which is a huge upgrade and it comes with 128 gigabytes of storage the battery is unfortunately a step back again this time from the real me to at 3500 million powers but that's more than enough for most people you still have the fingerprint sensor and there is a headphone jack down the bottom and fortunately there's no NFC which has been true for all three of the devices and which is also fairly standard at this price point so we can forgive them to me the biggest drawback of the hardware setup in this case is the microUSB down the bottom we've seen manufacturers charge very low prices and include a USB type-c so we know it's possible and this device has got the pro suffix in its moniker you'd think it would have a USB type-c so that's a bit of a mistake in my opinion it's a blight on an otherwise good hardware setup a blight I tell you you've also also probably noticed at this point that the design is a significant step up also from the previous model so these two were very plasticky feeling this one has a glass build they also have this kind of diamond effect on the back which I did quite liked but like I said in my reviews it wasn't always visible depending on the light this one has what real me is calling a dude drop back and I don't really know what that means but it basically has an extra layer of transparent glass on top which gives it this nice kind of depth effect and as you can see the colour here is quite attractive more impressive is the screen around the front which is a full HD display and it has an actual dew drop not show at the top here which makes it very small as for the camera it's a 16 megapixel primary shooter with a secondary depth sensor it has a very nice big aperture at 1.7 and round the front you also get another 16 megapixel camera which is of course very good for selfies in all honesty I've prepared to not like the camera on the real me to pro but it's actually not bad at all given the price in fact at this price point I'd say it's one of the selling points so it's definitely not perfect it struggles a fair bit with exposure as you can probably tell right now and it lacks a bit of detail when you zoom in close on things they can be a little bit over sharpened however on the whole photos have got nice saturation good contrast and good dynamic range they also have that nice F 1.7 aperture which means air you get the natural depth effects and at the same time the low-light performance is also much better than you would expect plus it's nice to have the 16 megapixel camera at the front here for things like vlogging and of course selfies you also get the faux bouquet effect which is all but two mandatory these days that's a bit hidden mist as tends to be the case at this price point but it's nice to have it there but yeah if you look at the auto exposure in this video then you can really see the limitations obviously not a problem if you're filming somewhere with a nice table lighting but if you're filming out on the go and you're a professional vlogger a youtuber then video like this would unfortunately be unusable on the whole the camera isn't going to be suitable for someone who's a social media aficionado but at the same time it's more than suitable for just chronicling your adventures your meals out with friends and the crazy stuff that your dog does I do always say that the devil is in the detail when it comes to devices and there are some ways that this is going to give away the fact that you're using a cheaper device it's running colour OS on top of Android which personally I'm not a big fan of it has a few irritating features like the inability to remove notifications what is that about and it doesn't look as nice in my opinion as most other skins in fact I think it's probably the ugliest Android skin around at the moment likewise another little irritation for me is the haptic feedback which I found a bit loud and buzzy other people say to me kind just turn it off and the answer is yes but I'd rather have it on I just want it to be good and there are a couple of places where this doesn't feel like a free experience but then it's not so that's absolutely fine I used this for a couple of days and it was perfectly up to the task when I was doing my productivity tasks when I was playing basic games from the Play Store so it's decently performant for that price speaking of it's the price of course here that is going to make or break this as a proposition so if you go for the more expensive model then you could actually have gotten a pocke phone f1 for just $50 more and you've got significantly higher specs better performance as a result and if you went for the cheaper model then it would be roughly equivalent in price to the chamois me a 2 for instance and that has very roughly equivalent specs so I was hoping this was going to be for the budget market what the PACU phone f1 was for the mid-range unfortunately is not that it's a fairly standard offering for the price but that's not to say it's not good value it is good value it's a nicely made phone and it will perform really well it's just another example of how you can get a really decent phone these days for a lower budget and there's much more option for people these days who don't want to spend a fortune on their Android device it's definitely a big step in the right direction for real me and that's a callback to one of my previous reviews if you didn't see it it was really clever in other news I'm really tired I give this phone a well-done real me thanks Sam for watching guys hope you found this video useful and interesting if you did
