Thankfully, the textual content is much more delicate in actual life than it seems within the firm’s commercials and promotional photos, not less than on our So White demo unit. The emblem is barely raised and has a texture, however we may barely make it out except we intentionally tilted the gadget underneath the sunshine.

If you laid all three gadgets (and some different Realme fashions) aspect by aspect and face up, you would not be capable of inform them aside.

We’re somewhat disenchanted to see a Micro-USB port on the underside, contemplating that USB Type-C is now nicely established throughout all worth segments. On the brilliant aspect, the tray on the left has impartial slots for 2 Nano-SIMs and a microSD card. Realme additionally says this mannequin is “splash-resistant”.

The MediaTek Helio G70 impressed us once we reviewed the Realme C3, contemplating its worth, however could not fairly deal with PUBG Mobile at its High high quality preset, and we anticipate to see the identical with the Narzo 10A. Battery life has been wonderful with the C3 in addition to the Narzo 10, and all three fashions have 5000mAh capacities so there should not be any surprises there both.
