Realme 7 and Realme 7 Pro Hands-on

by

Realme announced the Realme 7 and the Realme 7 Pro at a virtual event yesterday. The series takes over from the Realme 6 series that was announced earlier this year in March and while we’ll take the devices for a thorough spin in the coming days, here’s our initial hands-on experience with both the devices.

Let’s start with the design first. Realme has experimented with different elements in phone’s design and Realme 7 series is no different. Instead of gradient shades or something similar, Realme has adopted a more serious look. Both the Realme 7 and the Realme 7 Pro feature a frosted colour finish at the back, which looks pretty good. Both phones feel solid in hands but the Realme 7 is noticeably thicker and a few grams heavier than the Pro sibling. They have also earned the TÜV Rheinland Reliability certification for the build.

There are other changes too. The numbered phone sports a side-mounted fingerprint sensor whereas the Pro variant integrates it beneath the display for a cleaner and a sleeker look. The four rear cameras at the back similar configuration but differ in terms of placement. The camera setup consists of a 64MP Sony IMX682 main sensor along with an 8MP ultra-wide-angle lens, a B&W portrait lens and a macro sensor. The only different on the camera side is on the front, which is a 32MP sensor on the Realme 7 Pro and 16MP on the Realme 7.

If we talk about the hardware, both phones have a Full HD+ display protected by Corning Gorilla Glass but the Realme 7 comes with a slightly larger 6.5-inch LCD panel with 90Hz of refresh rate whereas the Realme 7 Pro brings a 60Hz AMOLED panel. Both come with 6GB or 8GB of RAM options but the internal storage for Realme 7 is 64GB and 128GB while the superior Pro variant has 128GB option only. Both support a microSD card slot.

The Realme 7 sports MediaTek’s Helio G95 processor while the Realme 7 Pro goes with the Qualcomm Snapdragon 720G, which also earns the support NavIC navigation for the latter.

The final difference is on the battery and charging. The Realme 7 comes with a 5000mAh battery with 30W Dart Charge and the Realme 7 Pro features a 4500mAh battery with 65W SuperDart Charge. SuperDart Charge is nothing but SuperVOOC charge that Oppo introduced with the Find X2 series.

Realme 7 goes on sale on September 10 at a starting price of Rs. 14,999 while the Realme 7 Pro starts selling from September 14 at a price starting from Rs. 19,999.

Realme finally announces the Narzo series

by

Realme has experienced unprecedented growth over the past two years in the competitive smartphone market segment. Now, with the new realme Narzo 10 and 10A, realme is raising the bar for entry-level smartphones by adding several features generally found in mid-range value smartphones.

Both, the Narzo 10 and 10A, will have only one variant up for sale now, with the former releasing on May 18, and the latter on May 22, 2020. However, we’ve listed out some important specs of both, which we feel are geared towards OTT content bingers and gamers, but in all honesty, most brands are doing the same. The Narzo 10 and the 10A come with a 6.5” mini-drop full screen which also comes with eye protection tech. Realme claims that with a faster processor, the Narzo 10A is up to 150% faster than its predecessors.

The realme Narzo 10A is priced at Rs. 8,499 and comes with a 3GB RAM with 32GB of storage. The Narzo 10A is also powered by a MediaTek Helio G70 2GHz octa-core processor. Users can expect the phone to run for long hours with a 5000mAh battery which supports a ‘reverse charge’ feature as well, thereby enabling it to charge other devices like a power bank. Coming to the camera system, we must say that it seems to be pretty average, thus, decent when you consider it in the entry-level or budget smartphone range. It features a triple-camera rear system with a 12MP f/1.8 + 2MP portrait camera + macro camera enabling users to shoot objects 4cm away. Narzo 10A will be available in ‘So White’ and ‘So Blue’ colours.

Now, the realme Narzo 10 is the leading star of this range and is priced at a reasonable Rs. 11,999. It comes with a 4GB RAM with 128GB of storage and it runs on MediaTek’s Helio G80 chipset, making it the first phone in the world with it. Like the 10A, the Narzo 10 is equipped with a 5000mAh battery as well. The Narzo 10 features a quad-cam setup with a 48MP main camera + 119-degree ultra-wide 8MP camera + a macro lens + a B&W portrait lens. It also comes with a 16MP front camera enabling users to take wider selfies. Realme promises more detailed highlights and shadows in photos shot in the ‘Nightscape’ mode. The Narzo 10 comes with an 18W quick charger and is also sleekly and minimally designed by Fukasawa. The Narzo 10 comes in two colours, namely: “That Green” and “That White”.

The realme Narzo 10 and 10A will sell on Flipkart from May 18 and May 22 respectively.
