realme never fails to make a statement when it comes to the designs of their smartphones. One can even consider it as a fashion accessory or a means to showcase your personality. With the realme 10, you’ll be amused by its shimmering back panel that appears in a colorful palette when viewed in different angles. It comes in two colorways: Clash White and Rush Black. 

Apparently, realme got the memo and dressed their latest midrange in a boxy frame, like almost every new smartphone we see nowadays. After all, it offers a practical advantage to users since it’s easier and more comfortable to grip. 

The front panel features a 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display with 90Hz refresh rate. Getting to know the smartphone felt like a breeze; I admire how snappy every swipe was. In addition, the screen looks promising, especially for on-the-go series-bingers. Even in noisy environments, you should be able to hear the audio clearly with its 200% UltraBoom Speakers. On a different note, what’s difficult to ignore is how thick the bezel at the bottom of the screen is compared to the rest. Other than that, I look forward to catching up on my favorite series very soon. 

Since its predecessor aced it in the camera department, we’re expecting an even better camera module for the realme 10. We’ll find out how the 50MP Color AI main camera will fare in different scenarios and lighting conditions in our full review. 

Equipped with a MediaTek Helio G99 processor, the realme 10’s capabilities will be tested while doing demanding activities such as running several apps, gaming, and streaming. And if you like downloading lots of apps and hoarding photos and videos, the 256GB storage should come in handy. Another good thing about the realme 10 is that they didn’t skimp on battery life. You’ll be treated with a large 5000mAh battery, complemented with the fast charging capabilities of 33W SUPER VOOC charger. 

Is the realme 10 a worthy year-end purchase? Stay tuned for our full review.
