Conclusion

The Realme 10 4G looks like a value-for-money deal as it brings all of the essential features that are expected in the first place. However, the same thing doesn’t apply to the Realme 10 5G because you will notice that the company downgraded the display section.

On the other hand, the Realme 10 is a more attractive option than its 5G counterpart. The phone has a good AMOLED screen, a good battery life, good camera results, good audio output, a 3.5 mm jack, and other features. We recommend you go with this phone if you are not planning to change your phone for a few years. As for alternative options, you can check out Realme 9. Even though it was released last year, but still, it’s a great deal in the 4G phone in 2022 as well.
