Third-party reviews

What we like about realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • Vibrant and smooth 120Hz AMOLED display with high peak brightness, offering excellent outdoor visibility and a great viewing experience for media consumption.
  • Attractive, premium-feeling design and build quality, with some users praising the glass back and sleek look.
  • Good performance for everyday tasks, multitasking, and casual gaming, with many users reporting a smooth, lag-free experience.
  • Impressive primary camera (Sony IMX890 sensor with OIS) that captures detailed, vibrant photos, especially in good lighting, and offers good portrait shots.
  • Excellent value for money, offering a feature-packed experience at a competitive price point.
  • Fast 67W SuperVOOC charging support, which can charge the phone in under an hour, with many users satisfied with the speed.
  • The software (Realme UI 5.0 on Android 14) has significantly reduced bloatware compared to previous Realme phones, leading to a cleaner user experience.
  • Inclusion of a 3.5mm headphone jack and stereo speakers, which are appreciated by users.
  • Good 5G connectivity and fast internet speeds.
  • Generally respectable battery life for a full day's usage, according to many users.

What we don't like about realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G (8GB + 256GB)

  • Mixed reviews on battery life, with some users reporting fast battery drain, especially with heavy use or after software updates.
  • Inconsistent low-light indoor camera performance, often producing overly warm or orange-toned images.
  • The phone can heat up, particularly during gaming or heavy use, though some users report no issues.
  • Air gestures feature is considered half-baked by some reviewers, noting unresponsiveness and imprecision.
  • The phone's flat and somewhat sharp edges can make it uncomfortable to hold for long periods in one hand.
  • Lack of a dedicated memory card slot (uses a hybrid SIM slot) is a drawback for some users.
  • Some users reported software bugs after updates, such as power button issues or a lag in app animations.
  • The ultra-wide and selfie cameras perform less impressively in low-light conditions compared to the main sensor.

Verdict

The Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G (8GB + 256GB) is a feature-packed mid-range smartphone running Android 14 with Realme UI 5.0, powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 7050 5G chipset. It boasts a vibrant 6.67-inch, 120Hz AMOLED display with 2000 nits peak brightness and a premium Horizon Glass design. A major highlight is its 50MP main camera featuring a flagship Sony IMX890 sensor with OIS, accompanied by an 8MP ultra-wide and 2MP macro lens, plus a 16MP front camera. The device includes a large 5000mAh battery with 67W SuperVOOC fast charging, dual stereo speakers, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and innovative "Air Gesture" controls. Potential cons include an inconsistent ultra-wide camera, the Air Gestures feature being a bit hit-and-miss, pre-installed bloatware (though reduced), a lack of 90FPS support in some high-end games, and a limited software update policy of two OS updates.
