The performance attribute has been stated incredibly at these budget levels-strengthful action display-connecting with the user’s action, considering India’s focus on 5G smartphones. So, which phone fares well on price v/s features? So sit back and chill as we weigh in display, performance, camera, battery, and finally, value for money.
Design and display
Slim and flat-edged, the 6.6 FHD+ AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rate looks smart with Corning Gorilla Glass 3 on the protective front. Users get good feel of materials to give an overall modern touch and high-end feel for the price. The Realme Narzo 70, meanwhile, boasts a 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with 120Hz refresh rates for smooth scrolling and gaming experience.
In this criterion of display, both these devices have performed really well. The Redmi Note was given points on better display calibration and slightly higher output brightness, while Realme garnered advantages between these two on touch sensitivity and smoothness of UI.
Performance and Software
Everyday tasks, light gaming, and other forms of multitasking are well presented on the Realme Narzo 70 5G powered by MediaTek Dimensity 7050 processor; on the other hand, with Qualcomm Snapdragon 6100+ chipset supported by up to 6GB RAM, the Redmi Note 13 will simply fly and give a lightning performance.
For the software, Realme Narzo 70 runs Realme UI 5.0 based upon Android 14, while the MIUI 14 on the Redmi Note 13 is likely to get Android 14. Realme also promises the Narzo 70 will get two major Android updates, giving the Narzo 70 that extra advantage in software support.
Camera Comparison
The camera specifications on the Redmi Note 13 5G consist of a 50MP main along with a 2MP depth sensor, while the Realme Narzo 70 5G has the AI enhancement feature on a 64MP main camera. Under normal use in daylight, both manage pretty well; however, the added detail and higher dynamic range captured by Realme because of a combined effect of increased pixel count and image tuning come in handy by edging just a little further forward.
Both phones have 8MP front camera modules for selfies that take reasonably good pictures, fine for video calling or some social media posting, but if one were to compare, perhaps Narzo 70 5G takes the cake camera-wise.
Battery Life and Charging
Both of them screen well with 5,000mAh batteries rated with support for 33W charging. Almost half and half in speed charging and battery life; but once it gets down to heavy power consuming and gaming, the Realme tends to manage the battery a bit better.
Verdict: Which One is Better?
Good long-run software support with an upgraded camera to some extent and overall performance makes the choice easy for Realme Narzo 70 5G. The chipset too goes for the Dimensity 7050 with its ecstasy for gaming and multitasking.
The Redmi Note 13 5G is still a great deal and becomes trustworthy in the Xiaomi ecosystem if good display quality with a not-so-shouty design weighs in a lot.
Quite an abnormal twist. Nevertheless, both are anyways better budget-oriented 5G smartphones, while some extra points for power users have tipped Narzo 70 5G back to its allegiance.
