A 5000 mAh battery is the headline here, and with only a 720p IPS panel and a Snapdragon 665 chipset to feed, it should comfortably get most users through a full day and then some. Charging tops out at 10W though, so topping up takes patience. The Realme 5s price in Malaysia starts from RM627, which puts it firmly in budget territory alongside 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, with a dedicated microSD slot for further expansion.
The quad camera setup stands out on paper: a 48MP main sensor paired with an 8MP ultrawide, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. Video tops out at 2160p30, which is a nice bonus for the price bracket. Front-facing selfies land at 13MP.
Build-wise, it's a Splash resistant body weighing just under 200g, running Android 9 Pie with ColorOS 6 on top. There's a rear fingerprint sensor, a 3.5mm jack, and dual-band WiFi, all fairly standard fare for a phone at this level but useful to have confirmed.
