Realme’s popular Narzo series gained a new affordable option with the launch of Narzo 30 in Bangladesh. Priced starting at just BDT 14,990, does it offer good value? Here’s a detailed analysis.

Design and Build

Crafted from plastic, the Narzo 30 weighs 192g but feels well-balanced in the hand. The 6.5-inch expansive display dominates the front. Measured dimensions of 162.3×75.4×9.4mm give it a relatively bulky form factor though. Available in Racing Blue and Racing Silver colors, its overall build quality seems adequate at this cost point.

Display

The 6.5-inch HD+ IPS LCD screen with 90Hz refresh rate renders details adequately for general use-cases. Maximum brightness of 580 nits allows comfortable viewing even outdoors. With ~83% screen-to-body ratio, the dewdrop notch houses the selfie camera neatly. Overall display quality is good for casual usage.

Performance

Powering the Realme Narzo 30 is the MediaTek Helio G95 chip with up to 6GB RAM. It handles daily tasks like emailing, browsing, and social media without lags. Moderate gaming like COD is manageable with decent graphics and frames. Multitasking does not elicit stutter either. Benchmark scores are acceptable given their specifications.

Cameras

The Realme Narzo 30 triple rear camera setup is headlined by a 48MP primary sensor. Daylight shots have nice coloring and details. 2MP macro captures close-ups while the 2MP depth assists portraits. Selfies from the 16MP front camera are pleasing as well. 4K video capture allows stable recordings. Overall imaging capabilities are above average.

Battery Life

A 5000mAh battery cell paired with 30W fast charging ensures the phone runs for over a day on moderate usage from general tasks to 2-3 hours of gaming and video streaming. Even heavy usage stretches it easily beyond 10 hours. Charging from zero to full takes around 65 minutes as advertised.

Priced under BDT 15,000, the Realme Narzo 30 offers good value with its sizable screen, dependable performance, versatile cameras, and excellent battery longevity. Recommended for those seeking an affordable all-round daily driver smartphone.
