Realme's Narzo 30A, which was released in February this year is a phone that has a convenient design and superb daylight camera performance, as well as a long battery life. Even said, much has changed since then, and other businesses have managed to provide even greater value. It is obvious that it has a long battery life. When compared to similarly priced smartphones like the Infinix Hot 11S and the Redmi 10 Prime, however, it does not appear to be a clear victor. Is it still enough for individuals searching for a low-cost smartphone with a long battery life? The Realme Narzo 50A is not a replacement for the Narzo 30A, but rather a separate model that sits between the Narzo 20 and the more costly Narzo 30 5G.
Design:
The Realme Narzo 50A follows the company's established design standards, featuring a basic yet functional polycarbonate rear panel. The rear has a thin groove-like texture that aids grip, which is significant given the phone's size and weight of 207g. The fingerprint reader is engulfed by the back camera module, which extends to the phone's center. It’s hard in finding the slightly recessed fingerprint reader because it didn't protrude much from the rest of the rear panel. The smartphone's back was maintained smudge-free thanks to the matte surface of the plastic shell and the small grooved texture. One thing that people might not enjoy about this gadget is how thick it felt in regular usage. A waterdrop-style notch is present on the 6.5-inch display. It's a smudge magnet, and I struggled to keep it clean since the smudges were difficult to remove.
Specifications & Software:
The Narzo 50A has a MediaTek Helio G85 SoC with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM as standard across the 64GB and 128GB storage options. For storage expansion, the phone includes a dedicated microSD card slot (up to 256GB). Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5, and numerous satellite navigation systems are examples of communication protocols. Realme UI 2.0, which is based on Android 11, is installed on the Realme Narzo 50A.
From a design standpoint, it's identical to what's available on other Realme devices. The user interface focuses on personalization. There are also a slew of third-party software preloaded, the majority of which can be removed. While third-party applications never sent me any unpleasant alerts (unless I explicitly requested them), the Theme Store never failed to send me one or two advertising messages every day. I was also taken aback by the presence of advertisements in the default File Manager software (there are two such apps).
Performance and Battery Life:
In GFXBench's T-Rex and Manhattan 3.1 tests, the Realme Narzo 50A managed 55fps and 16fps, respectively. In Geekbench's single and multi-core tests, it received scores of 356 and 1,352, respectively. When it comes to gaming, the Narzo 50A is great for casual games, but it struggles with demanding games. At the default Low graphics and Medium frame rate settings, Call of Duty: Mobile was hardly playable. During games, the phone also warmed up fast, and performance suffered as a result. Asphalt 9: Legends functioned better, although there were significant frame skips and slowness, particularly when there was a lot of activity on screen.
If you're searching for a low-cost gaming gadget, the Infinix Hot 11S is the way to go. When compared to competitors' hole-punch screens, the Narzo 50A's waterdrop-style notch appears a little archaic. I was astonished to see that text and icons looked sharp enough on a 6.5-inch display with an HD+ resolution. The display has good viewing angles and was bright enough to use outside. The Widevine L3 certification, which only allowed for SD video streaming playback quality, was a bit disappointing. The content on Amazon Prime Video and Netflix didn't seem to be as crisp as it could have been. Although there are no stereo speakers, the single speaker was plenty loud and clear for viewing movies and making phone calls. If you want to watch videos on your phone as much as possible, the Redmi 10 Prime has a superior full-HD+ display and Widevine L1 certification for HD playback quality.
With normal use, which included snapping photographs and playing casual games, the Narzo 50A's 6,000mAh battery lasted me two days. The phone might last up to three days on a single charge with modest usage (calls and messages). Even with such a large battery, our HD video loop battery test lasted 30 hours and 12 minutes, which is amazing. The bundled 18W charger carried the phone from a dead battery to a 100 percent charge in 3 hours and 5 minutes, with no improvements in terms of charging.
Camera:
A 50-megapixel main camera, a 2-megapixel portrait lens for calculating depth, and a 2-megapixel macro camera are all included in the Narzo 50A. An 8-megapixel front-facing camera is in charge of selfies. The camera's user interface hasn't changed. For both the front and back cameras, video recording is restricted to 1080p at 30fps.
The resolution of detail in photos shot in daylight was poor. Textures appeared flat when magnified on screen even a little. The dynamic range was acceptable, and the colors were neutral. Selfies had decent quality and dynamic range, although they appeared to be oversharpened. When utilizing portrait mode, edge recognition was below average, giving me a haircut and blurring my ears at times. The 2-megapixel macro camera's macros weren't much better, looking oversharpened and dramatic with a lot of contrast.
When photographing indoors or in settings with artificial light, the degree of detail reduced even further. When shooting in low light, the Night mode was able to reduce the glare of strong street lighting, but the photographs lacked depth and were not crisp. Videos appeared to be acceptable in quality, with a good amount of information, but were jittery owing to the absence of stabilization. In low-light footage, there were a lot of blown-out highlights, a lot of noise, and a lot of blurry details.
Pricing in Nepal:
The Realme Narzo 50A is available in two finishes: Oxygen Blue and Oxygen Green. There are two variants to choose from. The 4GB RAM, 64GB storage version costs Rs. 20,000, while it costs Rs. 22,000 if you want 128GB variant.
