Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G

The Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G has a standard, non-folding form factor measuring 165.7 mm tall, 76.2 mm wide, and 7.94 mm thick, with a total weight of 197 g. It carries an IP64 rating, meaning it offers solid protection against dust and resistance to water splashing from any direction, though it does not feature a rugged build.

The Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G features a 6.67″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1604 px and a pixel density of 264 ppi, complemented by a contrast ratio of 1500:1. It supports a 120Hz refresh rate for smoother on-screen motion, paired with a 180Hz touch sampling rate for responsive input. The display does not include branded damage-resistant glass, Always-On Display functionality, or support for HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no secondary screen.

The Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G is driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300, a 6 nm octa-core chipset clocked at 2 x 2.4 GHz and 6 x 2 GHz, utilizing big.LITTLE architecture with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing for efficient workload distribution across its 8 threads. It is paired with 6GB of DDR4 RAM running at 2133 MHz and 128GB of internal storage, with the chipset supporting up to 12GB of memory and a maximum memory bandwidth of 17.07 GB/s. Graphics are handled by an integrated Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU clocked at 950 MHz with DirectX 12 support, while the CPU achieves Geekbench 6 scores of 782 single-core and 2012 multi-core. The SoC also integrates LTE, supports 64-bit processing and multithreading, and includes a cache hierarchy of 512 KB L1, 1 MB L2, and 2 MB L3.

The Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G is equipped with a single-lens 32 MP rear camera featuring an f/1.8 aperture and a CMOS sensor, capable of recording video at 1080p and 30 fps. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus for photos, as well as continuous autofocus during video recording, though laser autofocus is not available. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while optical zoom is absent and the camera does not shoot in RAW format. Additional shooting modes include HDR, burst mode, panorama, slow-motion video, and timelapse, though HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not supported. A single LED flash is present on the rear, with no dual-tone or RGB flash. On the front, a 32 MP camera with an f/1.8 aperture handles selfies — it is a single-lens setup without an under-display placement or a front-facing flash.

The Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G runs Android 15 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, covering location access, camera and microphone permissions, clipboard warnings, and app tracking blocking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are absent. Customization options span theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, extra dim mode, and widget support, while productivity is aided by split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, sharing intents, and the ability to play games while they download. The OS supports on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, and device tracking, alongside multi-user support, app offloading, customizable notifications, notification permission controls, a child lock, and a battery health check tool. OS updates are not delivered directly from the vendor, and features such as focus modes, Wi-Fi password sharing, Quick Start, and PC mode are not included.

The Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G houses a 6000 mAh rechargeable, non-removable battery with a built-in battery level indicator. It supports 15W wired fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. While the spec sheet lists wireless charging as present, the wireless charging speed is rated at 0W, and reverse wireless charging is also not supported.

The Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G has a notably limited audio feature set. It lacks a 3.5 mm headphone jack and stereo speakers, offering only a single speaker configuration. On the wireless audio side, none of the advanced Bluetooth codecs are supported — there is no aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC. A built-in radio is also absent.

The Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G supports 5G connectivity and accommodates two SIM cards, with a maximum download speed of 3300 MBits/s. Wi-Fi covers both Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac) standards, while Bluetooth 5.3 handles short-range wireless communication. The phone uses a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0 and includes an external memory slot for expandable storage. Navigation is covered by GPS with Galileo support, and onboard sensors include an accelerometer and compass, though a gyroscope, barometer, infrared sensor, and heart rate monitor are all absent. A fingerprint scanner is present for biometric authentication, but there is no 3D facial recognition or iris scanner. NFC, HDMI output, ANT+, DLNA certification, crash detection, satellite SOS, motion tracking, optical tracking, and a built-in projector are not included.

The Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G includes a video light, which can be used to illuminate scenes during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved and uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
