Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G Review: Design

Weighing 195 grams, the Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G looks great with its flat chassis. The edges are flat and shiny, albeit a bit slippery. The appearance is further adorned by a round camera module at the back. It features a Horizon Glass design with dual-tone finish, including glossy at the top and matte towards the bottom, separated by an arc. Interestingly, it has a 3.5mm headphone jack. You can find a USB Type-C port on the bottom edge.

Featuring a 6.67-inch 1.5K AMOLED display, the Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G boasts a resolution ratio of FHD+ 2400×1080. With a refresh of rate up to 120Hz, scrolling through feeds on social media platforms seems silky smooth. Streaming content on Netflix and other OTT platforms is going to be fun. One noteworthy improvement in this device is its bright adaptiveness. This feature comes in handy for users most likely to use the smartphone outdoors.

Moreover, the rainwater smart touch feature employs algorithms to reduce unexpected touch actions, taking the user experience a notch above. Overall, the display quality is perfectly effective for its price range, delivering vibrant and bright colours. 

Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G Review: Performance and Software

Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 5G chipset, the Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G does a decent job when it comes to performance and user experience. For casual gamers, this device appropriately handles the workload, almost latency-free, backed by an up to 120Hz refresh rate. The phone’s thermal levels, however, increase a bit while undertaking graphically-intensive games like Real Racing, BGMI, etc. Understandable for a sub-Rs.20,000 devices, isn’t it? The device comes with Android 14-based Realme UI 5.0 out of the box. The UI is not the cleanest, but the brand has done a good job of taking the bloatware stuffing to minimal levels. One more feature being widely associated with this device is the air gesture feature, allowing users to control the device with hand movements. 

Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G Review: Camera

The Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G dons a triple camera setup, encompassing a 50MP Sony IMX890 OIS primary sensor, complemented by an 8MP ultrawide lens and a 2MP macro unit. At this price, the camera quality is acceptable and satisfactory. The daylight pictures are slightly oversaturated and the dynamic range too leaves room for improvement. Interestingly, the low-light outcomes are descent, especially the outdoor ones.

To the front, you can find a 16MP selfie sensor in a punch-hole setup. The selfie shooter does a good job for the segment it belongs to.

Backed by a 5,000mAh battery, supporting 67W fast charging, the Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G boasts good power efficiency. The battery lasts slightly over a day under modest usage conditions. The device gets fully charged in just 45-50 minutes using the charger included in the box.

Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G Review: Verdict

The Realme Narzo 70 Pro 5G has got a good chipset in its price range and everyday usage as well as gaming are going to be a breeze. The display seems to be specially designed for users looking to view a lot of shows and movies on their smartphones. The camera setup also yields satisfactory results for this price range. No doubt, the air gestures could have been more responsive, this appears to be a good allrounder device having something for every user category.
