Realme Narzo 80x

Design Vibes 

Glass on the front, plastic everywhere else, and splash-proof enough for a drizzle (IP54). At 7.9mm and 185g, it’s pretty dang light. That Blaze Orange color? Screams “look at me!” Definitely has a student or casual vibe—don’t expect it to feel as fancy as pricier phones.

2. Screen Time 

It’s a 6.67-inch IPS LCD with 120Hz refresh, so scrolling is smooth, gaming is decent (think FreeFire, not PUBG Ultra). But... resolution is just 720 x 1604 (264 PPI), so you’ll spot some pixelation, especially if you watch a lot of high-res vids. With 625 nits, it’s not super bright outdoors either. The screen covers 85% of the front, but it’s not as punchy as AMOLED panels.

3. Cameras        

Main cam’s 50MP with PDAF, handles daylight shots pretty well—colors pop, but don’t expect miracles. Depth sensor is there for those blurry-background portrait shots. No ultrawide, no macro. Night shots? Kinda noisy, especially with no OIS. Selfie cam is 8MP, which is fine for TikToks or Instagram, and video maxes out at 1080p/30fps (so, nothing fancy).

4. Battery & Charging 

5000mAh battery will get you through the day unless you’re a screen junkie. That 45W charging is zippy—half full in 25 minutes or so. Beats out some rivals like the C73 5G, but if you’re after mega battery life, the Realme C75 5G with 6000mAh is better. No wireless charging, but c’mon, didn’t expect that at this price.

5. Software Stuff 

Runs Realme UI 6.0 (on Android 15), which is actually pretty clean. AI Smart Signal sounds fancy, but mostly means decent connectivity. Minimal bloatware (finally!). 8GB RAM handles most day-to-day stuff, but the Dimensity 6300 isn’t built for heavy-duty gaming or multitasking. You’ll get two years of OS updates, three years of security—about average for cheap phones, but not as good as Samsung’s update promise.
