Realme is adding another new phone to its Narzo series, the Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G, which will be listed on Amazon on 23rd July at 12 noon. But the question is – is this phone worth your money? Today we will talk about its design, specs, pricing, and decide whether you should buy this phone or it is better to skip it.

Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G is a budget-friendly phone designed for users who want a reliable and affordable device. But when it comes to budget smartphones, the competition is quite tough. So will this phone be able to make its place? Let’s see its features and specs in detail.

Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G

Design and Build: What’s special?

First of all, let’s talk about its look and feel. Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G has a plastic back, which comes with a vertical camera module, which has dual cameras and LED flashlight. Its design is simple and functional – not premium, but looks sturdy enough for daily use.

The frame of the phone is also made of plastic, which comes with a boxy design and feels comfortable in the hand. It also has an IP64 rating, which is quite good for dust and water resistance, especially in this price range.

The phone is 7.94mm slim and weighs 197 grams, which is quite manageable despite its massive battery. There is also a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, which offers fast and reliable security. Overall, the build and design make this phone a solid budget option.

Display: Smooth or Average?

Talking about the display, this phone comes with a 6.67-inch HD+ IPS LCD screen, which supports 120Hz refresh rate. This refresh rate gives a smooth experience for scrolling and gaming, but the HD+ resolution is a bit disappointing when FHD+ displays are also available in the market in this range. According to Amazon’s microsite, its peak brightness is 625 nits, which is fine for indoor use, but can struggle a bit in direct sunlight.

The front camera is fitted in a waterdrop notch, which gives a modern touch, but the bezels can seem a bit big. If you watch videos or do casual gaming, then this display is quite decent, but for hardcore gamers or media enthusiasts it can be a bit less.

Performance:

Now let’s talk about performance. Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G can be found with Unisoc T606 or T7250 chipset, both of which are 5G chipsets. This is a bit surprising as 5G chipsets are now common even in the budget segment. The 5G variant had a powerful chipset like the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, but the 5G version lags behind.

The phone comes with LPDDR4X RAM and will be available in 4GB or 6GB RAM variants. There is a 128GB storage option that is expandable up to 2TB via a microSD card. This is enough for casual users but can feel a bit laggy if you run heavy apps or games. Realme UI 6.0, which is based on Android 15, offers a smooth experience and also promises 2 major Android updates and 3 years of security patches.

Camera: Basic but Functional

In the camera department, this phone comes with a 13MP primary camera and a depth sensor. For selfies, you get either a 5MP or 8MP front camera. This setup is fine for daily use – good for social media posts, casual photos, but don’t expect much from it for low-light photography or high-quality shots. Compared to the specs of the Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G, the 5G variant lags behind in camera as the 5G model had a 32MP camera.

Battery: This is the real game-changer

Battery is a big highlight here. With a massive 6300mAh battery, this phone can easily last for 1.5-2 days on moderate usage. According to Realme’s official claims, its battery retains 80% capacity for up to 4 years, which is a great thing for long-term users. There is 15W fast charging support, and the charger is available in the box. Apart from this, there is also a feature of reverse charging, which is rare in this price range.

Price and Variants: Value for Money?

Talking about the price of Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G, it is going to be launched under Rs. 7,000, which is for its 4GB + 128GB variant. The 6GB RAM variant will be priced a little higher, but will still be budget-friendly. Its first sale on Amazon will start from 23rd July, and maybe some discount offers can also be available.

Should I buy this phone?

Now the big question is – is this phone perfect for you? If you want a budget phone that is for basic tasks, If it offers good battery life and decent build quality, then this is a good option.

If your budget is restricted to Rs. 7,000 and you don’t need 5G, then this phone offers a lot of value, especially for its battery and durability. But if you can stretch it a little more, 5G phones will be a better future-proof option.
