Realme Note 80: If you’re looking for a smartphone that’s lightweight but still offers features that rival those of a more expensive phone, Realme has fulfilled your expectations. The company has launched its new budget smartphone, the Realme Note 80, in the international market. Starting at just ₹9,000, this phone is a boon for those who use their phones all day, as it boasts a massive 6300mAh battery. Additionally, the latest Android 15 and a smooth 90Hz display make it the most value-for-money handset in this budget.
Powerful Performance and Display
The Realme Note 80 is specifically designed for users who want a rugged phone at a low price. It features a large 6.74-inch HD+ LCD display with a resolution of 720×1600 pixels. Most importantly, even this budget phone offers a 90Hz refresh rate, making social media scrolling and gaming extremely smooth.
The screen is protected with ‘Panda MN228’ protection, which protects it from minor drops and scratches. In terms of performance, it features a Unisoc T7250 octa-core chipset paired with a Mali-G57 GPU. This processor is excellent for everyday tasks like YouTube, WhatsApp, and light gaming.
Software and Storage
One of the biggest strengths of the Realme Note 80 is its software. This smartphone runs on Realme UI 6.0 based on Android 15, which gives it a significant advantage over other phones in this budget segment. It comes with 4GB of LPDDR4x RAM and two storage options—64GB and 128GB. If you take a lot of photos and videos, the top-end 128GB variant will be best for you.
Camera and Video
Since this is a budget-friendly phone, Realme has focused on simplicity. The Realme Note 80 features an 8MP AI camera on the back with autofocus and LED flash. It’s capable of taking good photos in daylight. There’s a 5MP front camera for video calling and selfies. You can also record videos in 720p quality at 30fps, which is sufficient for social media.
Massive 6300mAh Battery
The real strength of this smartphone is its massive 6300mAh battery. Realme claims that once fully charged, the phone can deliver 2 to 3 days of battery life with normal use. A 15W wired charger is included in the box. This battery is ideal for students and working individuals who are outdoors and don’t want to constantly search for a charger.
Connectivity and Security
Surprisingly, even at such a low price, Realme has included an in-display ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, a feature typically found on more expensive flagship phones. Connectivity options include 4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.2, and a USB Type-C port for charging. For music lovers, the 3.5mm audio jack has also been retained. The phone weighs just 197 grams and is only 7.94mm thick, making it comfortable to hold.
