Verdict

The realme Narzo 80x 5G is a budget-friendly smartphone featuring a 6.72-inch Full HD+ IPS LCD display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 950 nits. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 5G chipset, paired with 8GB of RAM (plus expandable dynamic RAM) and 128GB of internal storage, offering good performance for daily use and moderate gaming. A massive 6,000mAh battery is a key advantage, providing two-day usage and supporting 45W SuperVOOC fast charging. It boasts impressive durability with an IP69 top-tier water and dust resistance rating and military-grade shock resistance. The camera system includes a 50MP main sensor and a 2MP depth sensor on the rear, and an 8MP front camera. A primary drawback is that the display is an IPS LCD panel, not a more vibrant AMOLED screen, and the camera performance may be average in low light conditions. The device also uses a hybrid SIM slot, meaning users cannot use two physical SIMs and a microSD card simultaneously.
