If you’re someone who’s been eyeing a solid 5G phone without burning a hole in your pocket, the latest launch from Realme might just catch your attention. Say hello to the Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G – a budget-friendly smartphone that combines a smooth display, reliable performance, and a massive battery. Technically, it’s a rebranded version of the Realme C73, but with a fresh new name under the Narzo 80 series.
Smooth Scrolling, Bright Display
The Narzo 80 Lite 5G comes with a big 6.67-inch IPS LCD screen that supports a super-smooth 120Hz refresh rate. Whether you’re scrolling Instagram or playing games, it feels fast and fluid. It’s got an HD+ resolution, which may not be super sharp but gets the job done at this price point. Plus, the display can go up to 625 nits brightness, so you won’t struggle to use it in sunlight. For selfies and video calls, there’s an 8MP front camera tucked in neatly.
Power That Handles Everyday Tasks
Under the hood, the phone is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, which is designed to deliver efficient 5G performance in affordable devices. It’s available in two variants – 4GB RAM with 128GB storage, and 6GB RAM with 128GB storage – giving you enough room for apps, photos, and downloads. For day-to-day tasks, you can expect the phone to hold up well.
Rear Camera Setup
At the back, you’ll find a 32MP main camera that uses a GC32E2 sensor. While it won’t rival flagship-level cameras, it’s decent enough for casual photography, whether you’re clicking daytime shots or sharing moments on social media.
Software Experience and Battery Life
The phone runs on Realme UI 6 built over the latest Android 15, so you’re getting up-to-date software out of the box. One of the biggest highlights, though, is its 6,000mAh battery – easily enough to last a full day, or even more with light usage. And when it’s time to charge, you get 15W wired charging, which, while not blazing fast, is fair for the price.
Colors, Price & Availability
The Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G comes in two stylish finishes – Crystal Purple and Onyx Black – and both look quite premium despite the budget price tag.
The official pricing starts at INR 10,499 for the 4GB + 128GB version and INR 11,499 for the 6GB + 128GB variant. But here’s the good part: with launch offers, you can get them for INR 9,999 and INR 10,799, respectively.
The phone goes on open sale starting June 20 on Amazon India, so if you’re planning an upgrade or looking for a secondary 5G phone, this could be worth a look.
