Realme Narzo 70 Pro Review | Feature-packed and more accessible

Realme Narzo 70 Pro offers a well-rounded performance making it an interesting choice for consumers seeking a feature-packed smartphone on a budget

Realme is quite keen on meeting the demands of and improving its market share in the sub-20k segment with the launch of Narzo 70 Pro. Priced at ₹19,999, the 5G phone offers a Sony IMX890 primary camera, Dimensity 7050 chipset and a 120Hz AMOLED display to compete with the Realme 12+ and the Lava Blaze Curve 5G.

The Realme Narzo 70 Pro ditches the vegan leather back of its predecessor, the Narzo 60 Pro, in favour of a matte and glossy rear panel design. The Glass Green colour variant reviewed here looks premium and elegant with its understated yet striking appearance. The glossy portion of the back panel is a fingerprint magnet, quickly accumulating smudges over time. The metallic frame, too, attracts fingerprints and starts to look rough with use.

The rear side houses the circular camera module, which has become a signature element for Realme phones. The in-display fingerprint scanner works flawlessly. The phone comes with a 3.5mm headphone jack and IR emitter at the top, along with a secondary microphone. The bottom houses the SIM tray, primary microphone, Type-C port, and a speaker grill. The power button and volume rockers are located on the right side, while the left side is bare.

The Realme Narzo 70 Pro boasts an impressive 6.67-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a 16.7 million colour display, offering a 100% P3 Color Gamut for accurate and vibrant colour reproduction. This display not only delivers fluid scrolling and animations but also offers a stunning 2400x1080 resolution and a 5,000,000:1 contrast ratio, ensuring deep blacks and vibrant colours. With a peak brightness of up to 2,000 nits, the display remains legible even under direct sunlight.
