What we like about realme Narzo 50A Prime (4GB + 64GB)

  • Premium-looking, slim, and lightweight design for its price segment, which many users find attractive and comfortable to hold.
  • High-resolution 6.6-inch Full HD+ display, which is sharp and bright enough (up to 600 nits peak brightness) for good outdoor visibility and an immersive viewing experience.
  • Large 5,000 mAh battery that provides long life, often lasting a day and a half to two days with normal use.
  • Decent performance for daily tasks and casual gaming, thanks to the capable Unisoc T612 processor and fast UFS 2.2 storage.
  • The 50MP main camera takes good, detailed photos in well-lit conditions.
  • Includes a 3.5mm headphone jack, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor (which is quick and reliable), and a dedicated microSD card slot in addition to two SIM slots.
  • Supports 18W fast charging, which is a useful feature despite the charger not being included in the box.

What we don't like about realme Narzo 50A Prime (4GB + 64GB)

  • The charger is not included in the box, which means users have to purchase it separately.
  • Software experience is held back by the lighter Realme UI R Edition (based on Android 11), which some users find sluggish and lacking certain features like a dedicated game mode or smooth file transfer via USB.
  • Performance issues with more demanding games or heavy multitasking, where the phone can experience lag and frame drops.
  • Lack of NFC for mobile payments.
  • Camera performance suffers in low light, and the camera software feels unpolished, without clear indications that a photo has been taken.
  • The display has a standard 60Hz refresh rate and an outdated dew-drop notch design, which is not as smooth as competitors' higher refresh rate screens.
  • The single, mono speaker on the bottom edge produces thin, treble-heavy sound quality.
  • The plastic back case is prone to scratches and attracts fingerprints easily.

Verdict

The Realme Narzo 50A Prime (4GB + 64GB) is a budget-friendly smartphone featuring a large 6.6-inch Full HD+ (2408 x 1080) IPS LCD display and is powered by a Unisoc Tiger T612 octa-core processor. It includes a triple rear camera system with a 50MP main sensor, a massive 5000mAh battery with 18W quick charge support, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, and a dedicated microSD card slot for storage expansion up to 1TB. Key pros are its slim and premium-feeling design, high-resolution screen for the price point, and excellent battery life that can last over a day with normal use. The primary cons are that it runs on the older Android 11 with the lighter Realme UI R Edition, may not handle heavy gaming well, and in a notable omission, the charger is not included in the box for some markets.
