realme’s latest release, the Narzo N61, proves that affordable phones don’t have to feel cheap.

The new realme Narzo N61 has a die-cast aluminum structure with an integrated metal frame that offers a strong and rigid build, making the device drop and bend-resistant. It also uses reinforced glass on the outside making it scratch-resistant. The device also received an IP54 rating for being dust and splash-resistant and has TUV Rheinland High-Reliability Certification.

On the front, we have a large 6.74-inch IPS display with a high 90Hz refresh rate but only with an HD+ resolution. Like many budget phones coming out today, you can still operate the screen even if the panel or your fingers are wet.

A good ol’ waterdrop notch is on top for the 5-megapixel selfie camera. Despite not being a punch-hole cutout, it will work with realme‘s Mini Capsule 2.0, a Dynamic Island-like interface that shows live widgets on select apps.

On the back, we have a 32-megapixel main camera with a random auxiliary lens. Keeping the lights on is a 5,000mAh battery with, unfortunately, a slow 10W charging support. On the upside, realme promises the battery can retain its 80% health after 1,000 charging cycles.

Finally, powering the device is a 6nm UNISOC T612 processor, which you can pair with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. Going with this chip means that it lacks 5G connectivity.
