Realme has recently launched the new Narzo 70 smartphone targeted at budget-conscious users looking for an affordable entry into the 5G world of mobile gaming and entertainment. Let’s take a closer look at the specs and features:

Design and Display

As part of the youthful Narzo series, the Narzo 70 sports a stylish yet minimalist design. Measuring 163 x 75.5 x 8mm and weighing 188g, it feels compact yet well-built. A 6.67-inch AMOLED screen dominates the front, with thin bezels all around. Realme has opted for a 120Hz refresh rate screen for buttery smooth visuals. At 600 nits peak brightness, the display should offer good outdoor visibility too.

An optical in-display fingerprint scanner provides quick and convenient authentication. The side-mounted power button doubles up as a fingerprint reader for additional security. Overall, the Narzo 70’s display and ergonomics are on par with more premium offerings in this price range.

Hardware and Performance

Under the hood, Realme has equipped the Narzo 70 with the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 5G chipset for seamless connectivity. This efficient SoC is paired with up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. An octa-core processor with Arm Cortex cores delivers good everyday performance for apps, gaming, and multitasking.

In our limited usage, the interface was responsive with no lag. Gaming performance on titles like BGMI and COD was solid on medium-high settings at full HD+ resolution – a testament to Dimensity 7050’s gaming focus. Early benchmark scores also indicate capable processing power that’s competitive against rivals at similar prices.

Cameras

For photography, the Narzo 70 sports a dual rear camera setup headlined by a 50MP main sensor with f/1.8 aperture. A 2MP depth sensor enhances portraits. On the front, a 16MP camera handles selfies and video calls.

While megapixel counts are good, image quality will depend on processing calibration, which we’ll evaluate in our upcoming review. The camera app offers various modes like Night, 50MP Photo, Portrait, Panorama, etc. 4K video recording is missing but 1080p options up to 60fps should cover basic recording needs.

Battery Life and Charging

Keeping the lights on is a 5000mAh battery capable of supporting a full day of moderate use before needing a recharge. More intensive users may get over a day with some battery to spare.

Impressively, the Narzo 70 supports 45W SuperDart Charge fast charging via USB-C. Realme claims a full charge can be achieved in just 47 minutes, which we will verify. Faster charging definitely sweetens the deal over rivals offering slower 18-33W speeds typically.

Software and Features

Out of the box, the Narzo 70 runs Realme’s Android 14-based Realme UI 5.0 with the usual set of Realme apps and interface customizations pre-installed. Storage variants top out at 8GB+128GB for ample storage. Other notable hardware features include a USB-C port, a 3.5mm audio jack, a dual sim slot, and 5G compatibility.

Pricing and Availability

Priced starting from BDT 27,999 for the 6GB+128GB configuration in Bangladesh, the Narzo 70 undercuts rivals by offering excellent 5G specs at an affordable cost. Early impressions are favorable and the Dimensity 7050 could make it one of the best budget 5G gaming phones around. We’ll have a full review with in-depth testing very soon, so stay tuned for final ratings!
