The Realme Narzo 60 5G arrives greater than a yr after the launch of its predecessor, the Narzo 50 5G. Given the lengthy distance, we anticipated it to pack in some severe upgrades over the earlier mannequin like its dearer sibling, the Narzo 60 Professional 5G (First impressions). The brand new cellphone will get a brand new design that intently follows the Realme 11 Professional collection, nonetheless, not a lot appears to have modified inside. I spent a couple of hours with it, so let's take a better have a look at what's new.
At that design, the Realme Narzo 60 5G has seen an enormous leap by way of high quality. It not appears like a funds machine, however extra like a mid-range smartphone. The Cosmic Black end I acquired has a flat chiselled look, with a flat rear panel and mid-frame which are made from polycarbonate.
That being stated, it's actually exhausting to inform that this can be a funds machine till you press the facility button and activate the show. That is whenever you discover an abnormally thick chin on the backside, which type of ruins the in any other case fashionable look of the cellphone.
Fortunately, the 6.43-inch, full-HD+ SuperAMOLED display screen is of the punch-hole selection and doesn't carry an unpleasant waterdrop-style notch. The show has shrunk a bit from final yr's 6.6-inch panel, however has the identical decision and 90Hz refresh price. Realme claims that the show now makes use of a brand new “diamond pixel association” which, in line with the model, improves its PPI, making content material seem sharper.
The large round digicam bump, however flattened, on the Realme Narzo 60 5G accommodates solely two cameras, of which just one is accessible to the person. This may be the 64-megapixel major digicam, which looks as if an improve over final yr's 48-megapixel shooter. The second digicam seems to be a monochrome sensor for gathering depth information when utilizing portrait mode. The selfie digicam has been upgraded to a 16-megapixel shooter from final yr's 8-megapixel digicam.
As for the processor, it has been upgraded to a MediaTek Dimensity 6020, which is a reasonably new SoC in comparison with the Dimensity 810 within the earlier mannequin. In any case, a better have a look at its specs and it’s straightforward to say that there’s not a lot distinction between the 2, nonetheless, I’ll reserve my closing opinion after placing it by means of its paces in our evaluation.
Realme ships the Narzo 60 5G with Realme UI 4.0, which relies on Android 13. The cellphone comes with many third-party apps pre-installed and quite a lot of bloatware. Realme has happily saved the 5,000mAh battery that also helps 33W quick charging. You additionally get a 33W charger within the field.
Whereas I anticipated options like stereo audio system and an IP score to look on this yr's Narzo collection mannequin, there actually isn't a lot happening with the Narzo 60 5G aside from its revised design. The value hike appears to be justified provided that the bottom variant, which is out there at Rs. 17,999 comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, in comparison with 6GB of RAM out there in final yr's flagship mannequin. Provided that this section continues to be fairly aggressive with smartphones from iQoo, Vivo and OnePlus on the high, it will likely be attention-grabbing to see how this new mannequin maintains its power.
