Announcement of Realme 10 5G - a degraded version of a simplified Realme 9 model

Realme continues its strange policy of launching new products.Two days ago, the hotly anticipated Realme 10 family kicked off

with the strange budget Realme 10 4G aimed at the global market, and on November 17 the company plans toa big presentation in China, where the most advanced models of the series will be shown.However, this did not prevent it from adding to the official Chinese website on the night of 11.11So, we meet the quietly presented Realme 10 5G.And, as you'll soon realize, it was quietly presented for a reason.

There are no less oddities in the filling of the device than in the launch of the family.For example, the device is based on the MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset, which was equipped with the Realme 8 5G.The cameras here are worse than those of the Realme 9, and even the Realme 8: the main 50MP sensor, noThe front camera has also "lost weight" from the usual 16 MP to 8 MP, and is placed in a teardrop-shaped cutout straight from 2018.The screen has also fallen victim to savings, going from AMOLED to IPS.Thankfully, it's 90 Hz, so I had to move my finger scanner from under the screen to the power button.

It is also strange that software Realme 10 5Gis based not on fresh Android 13, which several Realme flagships have already received, but on last year's Android 12. But there are pluses! For example, a triple tray that holds 2 SIM + microSD card. Or a 5000mAh battery with a 33W charger included. And the novelty also has a 3.5 mm audio jack and nice memory configurations: 8/128 and 8/256 GB. For them, Realme asks for 1299 and 1599 yuan (11 and 13.5 thousand rubles), and there are only two colors: gold and black.

And if the device causes a vague effect of deja vu -memory does not fail you, because this is a clone of the Realme 9i 5G presented three months ago. And he, as we remember, was a cheaper version of Realme 9. In a word, BBK is on a roll again.
