Narzo finally launched as a standalone brand from Realme. To celebrate, the company brought two of its budget 5G phones into the Philippines: the Narzo 50 5G and 50 Pro 5G.
First, we have the Narzo 50 Pro 5G, which is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G octa-core processor. It also has a fancy 90Hz AMOLED panel, and a big 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging.
It also has a complete set of cameras. There’s the sharp 48-megapixel main shooter, joined by an ultra-wide lens on the front of an 8-megapixel sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro snapper. There’s a 16-megapixel front-facing camera for selfies.
At the helm of everything is the Android 12-based Realme UI 3.0.
The Realme Narzo 50 Pro has a price of Php15,999 for the 8GB/256GB model.
