Cameras:
I think the 48MP sensor used here is Samsung one otherwise they have mentioned if they uses a sony sensor. However overall quality of images of the phone is good for the price. As the sharpness, bokeh, dynamic range, color etc. is well balanced on the device. Realme has done a good job.

Conclusion:
As we know the fact that there is no other company that is offering 5G device at this phone. But honestly if the price was set around 16-17,000, then it was an awesome deal breaker for consumer.
I think that it has 6GB +128 GB storage at this price, if not then they should have offer 4GB RAM variant under 15000.
Overall the device is all-rounder and we can’t complain much. But there can be improvements on some features like a glass back and improved cameras. Let’s see what Redmi note 10 will offer us.
