They elevate the phone's visual appeal to a whole new level. If you are looking for a mid-range phone that doesn't compromise on style, you'll be hard-pressed to find a better example. 

The three color options make the phone look more sophisticated and high-end than other phones in the same price range. It's not often that you come across a mid-level phone that looks this good.

Powered by the Dimensity 7050 5G processor, the phone breezes through daily tasks and intensive gaming sessions. Whether I opted for the 8GB or 12GB RAM variant, multitasking was fluid, with no signs of stutter or lag. realme UI 3.0, based on Android 12, provided a smooth and intuitive experience, enhanced by timely updates promised by realme.
