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.

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.
