Realme Narzo 50A Prime Review

Realme Narzo 50A Prime Review – The Narzo series phones are called the king of the budget range. They got everything that usually an entry-level user will need from a regular phone. The same thing applies to the Realme Narzo 50A Prime. But unlike its older brother the Narzo 50A, the phone is lacking in several features. Still, there’s some hope left from the software section.

The Narzo 50A Prime smartphone was launched in March 2022 in the Indian smartphone market and a few other smartphone markets. But, there’s no info regarding the global release till now. Speaking of the first impression, the phone looks pretty decent from the outside, while the hardware is something that you can expect from an entry-level phone. So, without any delay, let’s start with a detailed review of the Realme Narzo 50A Prime smartphone.

Highlights

1. The Realme Narzo 50A Prime grants a 6.6-inches IPS LCD panel that attains 600 nits brightness support.
2. The phone is powered by the standard 12nm Unisoc Tiger T612 chipset and Mali-G57 GPU.
3. In terms of the software rendering, you will receive the standard Android 11 with Realme UI 2.0 skin on top.
4. The camera section is handled through a 50MP triple camera setup with an 8MP selfie camera.
5. Apart from this, the phone also offers a bulky Li-Po 5000 mAh battery with 18W fast charging support.

Design and Display

Let’s start with the back panel design layout. The Realme Narzo 50A Prime arrives with a simple plastic build body with a glossy design texture near the camera board area as compared to the Realme Narzo 50. As for the rest of the panel, the tiny strips lines layout gives a grippy experience over the phone. Although, it might not look that much premium compared to other phones. But still, it holds the charming factors that attract interested buyers.

It’s a pleasant surprise that the company try to mimic the iPhone side panel layout, which gives an additional kick to this phone. However, there’s no denying that it makes the phone a little bulky with a 189-gram weight, while 8.1 mm thickness is more than enough for the phone. On the other hand, it’s meaningless to expect that the device will offer an IP rating certification.

Now, let’s move to the display section. Realme Narzo 50A Prim appears with a tall aspect ratio IPS LCD panel on the 6.6-inches display. Hopefully, the screen resolution goes up to HD+, but it does work outdoor as the phone also got 600 nits brightness support. Besides this, the colors and contrast look pretty amazing. Still corning glass, refresh rate, and HDR support sound luxury for this entry-level phone.

Memory and Internal

You have to understand that without stable performance, the overall experience with any phone can be miserable. Despite being an entry-level smartphone, the Realme Narzo 50A Prime equips a pretty decent Unisoc Tiger T612 chipset, while the graphic unit is handled through Mali-G57. Although, the processing power only reaches up to 1.8GHz clocking speed with the performance core.

On the other hand, it’s not possible to push the limits of the cores, while playing lite games becomes the only option because the phone will not support the high-end graphics games. Despite this, the company does its work and provides Android 11 with the Realme UI 2.0. Though, you will notice a few bloatware apps here and there.

Moving to the RAM and internal storage, you will find out that the phone arrives with 4GB RAM and storage options like 64GB and 128GB space. The following options are sufficient enough for the daily usage needs. Alongside this, you are also getting dedicated secondary storage to expand the storage limits of your phone. With this setup, you will attain UFS 2.2 memory type.

Camera

To be blunted, the camera quality of the Realme Narzo 50A Prime feels pretty average, and you won’t be decent low light photo quality. However, the daylight photos come out great while the autofocus sometimes messes up the overall image processing unit. Despite this, the primary 50MP lens works impressively in most conditions.

But, the fact that can’t be denied is that it lacks the colors and saturation aspect to some extent. However, you can still capture natural photos with help of the 2MP macro and 0.3MP depth lens. Following this, the company also renders an 8MP selfie camera that clicks good photos in proper light situations, while like other lenses, it provides average results.

In terms of videography, the camera module can easily go up to 1080p resolution with the primary lens. But on the other hand, you won’t be able to capture more than 720p resolution videos with the selfie camera. Apart from this, the video stabilization software is missing from the native camera application.

Battery and Others

It’s a normal feature that the entry-level phones offer massive size battery under the hood, and with Narzo 50A Prime, you will receive a Li-Po 5000 mAh battery. With this setup, you can effortlessly gain more than 5+ hours worth of screen time for watching web series, scrolling social media feeds, and many more things. Following this, the phone also provides an 18W fast charging support that refuels Narzo 50A Prime in less than an hour and a half.

In terms of the additional attributes, the phone offers decent audio output. As for the other specs, you will attain a good level of comms and sensor support. Now, let’s talk about the price point, the Realme Narzo 50A Prime smartphone roughly costs $140 (Rs 11,499 in India) approx.
