Launched in March 2024, the Realme Narzo 70 Pro stakes its claim in the competitive mid-range smartphone market. Let’s delve into its features and see if it lives up to the hype.
Striking Design and Display
The Narzo 70 Pro boasts a sleek glass back with a “Glass Patchwork Design” that catches the light, offered in a variety of colors. At 195g and 8mm thin, it feels comfortable in the hand. The 6.67-inch AMOLED display offers a smooth 120Hz refresh rate for a stutter-free visual experience, perfect for gamers and avid scrollers. With a peak brightness of 2000 nits, the display ensures good readability even under harsh sunlight.
Power Under the Hood
The Narzo 70 Pro is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 5G chipset, built on a 6nm process. This translates to efficient performance for everyday tasks and decent handling of games without breaking a sweat. While benchmark scores might vary, it should provide a capable user experience.
The phone comes with two storage options: 128GB or 256GB, but ditches expandable storage via microSD card. You’ll need to choose the variant that best suits your storage needs upfront. RAM options are limited to 8GB, which might be a bottleneck for heavy multitaskers.
Cameras: Night Shining Armor?
Realme touts the Narzo 70 Pro’s camera system as its strongest selling point. The main attraction is the Sony IMX890 sensor, which promises exceptional low-light performance. This is backed up by an unspecified secondary sensor.
According to Realme, the Narzo 70 Pro offers superior night photography with rich detail and clear HDR. Whether it truly surpasses competitors in this area remains to be seen through independent reviews.
For daytime photography, the Narzo 70 Pro should capture clear and vibrant images. It also boasts improved capabilities for capturing action shots.
Long-lasting Battery and Speedy Charging
The Narzo 70 Pro packs a 5000mAh battery, which is the current standard for mid-range phones and should offer a full day’s charge for most users. The phone supports 67W SuperVOOC charging, which can take the battery from zero to close to full in a short amount of time.
Software and Other Features
The Narzo 70 Pro runs Realme UI 5.0 on top of Android 14, offering a clean and customizable interface. Realme UI is known for its feature-rich nature, so users can expect a plethora of customization options and additional functionality. The phone includes an in-display fingerprint sensor for secure unlocking and supports dual SIM cards with 5G connectivity.
