If I were to describe the Realme Q series with the recent hot meme, I think the term "Timing Man" would be the most appropriate. From the thousand-yuan "four-shot" of the original realme Q, to the 65W flash charge of the realme Q2 series, and then to the popular high-brush screen of the realme Q3 series, the realme Q series always seems to be able to "leapfrog the cup" in a timely manner.
The success of the realme Q series also makes the author look forward to the next true Q5 series, after a year as scheduled, what surprises will the three new Q5 family machines bring? The author is also fortunate to get the Q5 Pro equipped with 80W super-speed flash charge, and the following is to share some of my personal experience.

Appearance: Bold design leads the fashion benchmark
Friends who are familiar with realme know that as an independent new brand, realme's design language is also truly trendy and bold. In the author's "Summer Burning Engine" color matching, realme for the first time integrated the contrast checkerboard design into the real Q5 Pro, and the color matching of "Riot" really made my eyes shine.
Checkerboard, called Checkerboard in English, this element originated from the chess board and is widely used in fashion design and racing because of its distinctive and flexible unique visual tension. Thanks to the nano-scale fluorescent particle process, the back panel of the Q5 Pro presents a checkerboard shape intertwined with bright yellow and dark yellow in daylight; and after avoiding the light at a certain angle, the checkerboard grid is "invisible" and looks like frost. The special design also ensures that the back panel is not sticky fingerprints, which can be described as deeply rooted in my heart.
In my opinion, the intention of design is often reflected in the details. True Self Q5 Pro has also added a black-and-white checkerboard embellishment to the lens module, which is a "small design" that makes the whole back panel look more coordinated, vivid and bright and full of personality.
Looking forward, the screen quality can be said to be the most intuitive upgrade outside the real Q5 Pro. Realme this time for the real Q5 Pro equipped with a 6.62-inch Samsung AMOLED E4 flagship screen, support 16000 levels of brightness adjustment, whether it is watching videos in daylight, or reading novels at night, can bring a smooth and comfortable look. And in the developer options, you can also turn on the DC dimming function, and you don't need to worry about affecting the screen perception in a low-light environment.
As a game party, the author has extremely high requirements for the high refresh rate and high touch rate of the mobile phone, and the real Q5 Pro has also given good support, with a high refresh rate of 120Hz and a 720Hz ultra-high touch report rate to deal with most mainstream games.
Charging: The leapfrog experience of 80W flagship flash charging
As early as a week ago, Xu Qi, vice president of realme, said that the upcoming Q5 series of true self will achieve a full range of flash charging levels, and will also lead the industry to further popularize flash charging technology. As said, in recent years, realme has indeed repeatedly delegated flagship flash charge to the mainstream market, and whether the Q5 Pro equipped with 80W smart flash charge is "leapfrogging" in actual experience makes me eager to try, so without saying much, let's directly open the test!
After some testing, the true Q5 Pro is indeed worthy of the name of "thousand yuan flash charging flagship", 5 minutes to charge 24%, 10 minutes to charge 43%, only 32 minutes to charge a 5000mAh battery from 1% to 100% charge. Imagine that less than a class or a short meeting time can quickly make the phone "full of blood", it can be said that the power anxiety does not exist in the dictionary of the real Q5 Pro.

There should be many people in life who always forget to charge the mobile phone, and every time they need to use the mobile phone, they find that the power has been "marked red", so I often pay more attention to the speed of short-term charging. According to the actual measurement results, the true Q5 Pro can return 24% of the power in 5 minutes, and it only takes 1 to 2 minutes to reach the peak power. This also solves my urgent need in many cases, after getting up and charging for a while, I don't have to worry about not being able to show the health code because the mobile phone is turned off on the commute; charging for a while before dinner, after the meal will not delay the game invitation with the little friend because the mobile phone is out of power.
It is worth mentioning that the temperature control of the Q5 Pro is extremely good when charging, which is why I feel that the 80W super-speed flash charging technology is practical. In actual tests, from 1% charge to 100%, the front and back temperatures of the Q5 Pro fuselage are below 39 degrees; even in the case of charging while playing games, the phone grip feeling is only warm.
Charging faster but less heat, on the one hand, thanks to the true Q5 Pro's 80W super-speed flash charge adopts a direct charging mode, which achieves higher conversion efficiency and reduces unnecessary heat loss caused by charging; on the other hand, under the double blessing of dual battery series technology and intelligent five-core safety protection, charging efficiency is higher and discharge is safer. True Q5 Pro uses multiple flash charge technology to interpret a sentence: running fast is not necessarily winning, not falling and following the head is success.
The practicality of the mobile phone battery is not only to see whether the charging is "fast or not", but also to pay attention to the battery life "top or not". To this end, the author combined with the daily mobile phone usage of most people, simulated a 4-hour heavy battery life test to verify the endurance of this 5000mAh battery.
After six scene tests of "one hour of glory of the king", "one hour of peace elite", "half an hour of vibrato", "half an hour of Weibo", "half an hour of WeChat", "half an hour of Taobao", the power consumption of the Q5 Pro is from 95% to 38%, a total of 57% of the power consumption, fully meet the light use of a day, with 80W super fast flash charge, enough to have an all-weather full-scene power security.
Performance: "Volkswagenize" flagship chips
Speaking of mobile phone chips in recent years, the Snapdragon 870 is undoubtedly the one that has been most loved. Thanks to the perfectly balanced performance in terms of performance and energy efficiency ratio, Snapdragon 870 has become a generation of "God U" with a double harvest in the market. Realme has also been equipped with a Snapdragon 870 processor in a variety of models, which can be said to be one of the most in-depth manufacturers of Polishing Snapdragon 870, and this well-known flagship chip has also been delegated to the true Q5 Pro!
After getting the real Q5 Pro, the author first carried out the Antu rabbit running score, and the 722038 score was already in the forefront of the models in the thousand yuan price segment. The actual performance is more undoubted, the author conducted a 30-minute king glory test in a room temperature environment, the whole process opened the 120Hz frame rate, the frame rate performance of the real Q5 Pro is extremely stable, the average frame rate reached 116.8 frames, and the number of frames dropped by The number of Caton drops is almost negligible.

What surprised me even more was the temperature performance of the real Q5 Pro during the game, the temperature of the front and back of the fuselage was lower than 42 ° C, especially the temperature of the backplane was always below 40 ° C, which was even more than many previous Snapdragon 8 Gen1 models. After 30 minutes of play, the overall feel of the phone is warm, and there is no feeling of hot hands. Even without the heat dissipation back clip of these mobile phone heat dissipation accessories, the Q5 Pro can play games in the 27 ° C temperature of the summer.
The excellent gaming performance on the one hand benefits from the excellent energy consumption ratio of the Snapdragon 870, on the other hand, the Q5 Pro is the first time to use the same diamond ice core cooling system of the GT series, which is well received in the GT series and can achieve the outstanding performance of the highest cooling of 18 °C in the core area of chip heat dissipation. In addition, the true Q5 Pro is equipped with a stainless steel VC area of up to 4129mm and a total heat dissipation area of up to 17932.511mm, which truly realizes all-round heat dissipation without dead angles.
In order to bring a better gaming experience, the True Self Q5 Pro is equipped with Realme's new X-axis Tactile linear motor and Dolby Atmos dual speakers, with stronger vibration and clearer sound, which can be described as an all-round upgrade compared with the previous generation. Especially with the cooperation of 720Hz ultra-high touch reporting rate, in FPS games such as Peace Elite, if your game technology is more brilliant, you can completely achieve the "sound to hand, hand to gun, gun to person" invigorating experience, becoming the brightest cub in the crowd.
Image: Tidal shooting experience under the three-camera system
Under the overall improvement of flash charging and performance, the Q5 Pro is not ambiguous in terms of image system, and the 64 million three-camera flagship image is a good proof, and the main camera, ultra-wide angle and macro three-lens configuration is enough to meet the user's all-round multi-angle shooting needs.
The Q5 Pro's main lens features a 1.72-inch outsole sensor that can take 64MP photos. In daytime scenes, whether it is a normal focal length or a double zoom, this main lens can provide excellent finished film, accurate exposure, bright colors, and straight out samples to please the eye.

The ultra-wide angle lens of the Q5 Pro has a 119° viewing range, which can shoot 8 million pixel photos, suitable for shooting landscapes, buildings and other large scenes, with clear films and color tuning biased towards real scenes. The 2-megapixel macro lens has a closest focusing distance of 4cm, which can directly hit the microscopic world of nature, whether it is flowers and insects, it can also bring shock to the details.

However, in the actual shooting process, in the same set of complex scenes, the ultra-wide angle, the main camera and the double zoom sample were shot separately, and the comparison can be found that the ultra-wide angle sample tends to restore the real color, while the main shot sample is more vivid, and the two film styles are somewhat deviated.

In terms of night scenes, thanks to the main camera 1.72-inch outsole sensor, the film quality of the Q5 Pro is also excellent, and in the case of a relatively sufficient light source, it can get a pure picture with accurate exposure. Even at night, the Q5 Pro can give a good film effect, the highlight suppression is natural, and the noise in the shadows is also within the accepted range.

In the low-light environment, the night scene tuning of the true Q5 Pro is more radical, and the overall picture in the low-light environment is stacked and brightened through the night scene algorithm, and then part of the dark part is restored, but the details of the bright part have been lost. And after the overall picture is brightened, the original deep dark sky is somewhat blue, and the overall picture noise has also increased.

In addition, the Q5 Pro also supports an exclusive street photography mode, which can weaken algorithmic interference to achieve fast capture and restore the color of the real scene as much as possible. Realme has also teamed up with the famous analog film camera software nomo to concoct a set of exclusive realme street shooting filters, presenting a unique and strong style of retro film colors. It can be seen that whether it is hardware configuration or software optimization, realme is doing the volume model with flagship specifications, which shows the importance attached to the real Q5 Pro.

summary
After experiencing the real Q5 Pro, I can't help but sigh that mobile phone manufacturers are indeed getting more and more "volume". Today, when Generation Z has become the backbone of consumption, under the diversified development of consumer demand, even the mainstream market of thousands of yuan has been a red sea.

If the previous realme Q series is to act as a "Timing Man" to make time to upgrade, then the Q5 Pro, which has a comprehensive upgrade of screen, flash charge, performance and image, can be said to be a well-deserved spoiler in the mainstream market of thousands of yuan. The other two new machines of the True Self Q5 Universe - the True Self Q5i and the True Self Q5 covering the mainstream price segments also appeared with a cross-level configuration, and the powerful market impact is announced all the time: "Life is endless, the level is not over!"
