Realme Narzo 80x 5G

The Realme Narzo 80x 5G has a non-folding, standard-form design measuring 165.7 mm tall, 76.2 mm wide, and just 7.9 mm thick, with a weight of 197 g. One of its more notable physical attributes is its IP68 rating, which classifies it as fully waterproof under the ingress protection standard. The device does not feature a rugged build, but the IP68 certification alone provides a meaningful level of protection against water exposure in everyday use.

The Realme Narzo 80x 5G features a 6.72″ IPS LCD touchscreen with a 1080 x 2400 px resolution and a pixel density of 392 ppi, offering a reasonably sharp image across its large panel. It runs at a 120Hz refresh rate with a 240Hz touch sampling rate, contributing to smooth on-screen motion and responsive input. The display carries a contrast ratio of 1500:1 and is protected by branded damage-resistant glass. That said, it does not support HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no Always-On Display mode or secondary screen.

The Realme Narzo 80x 5G is driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chipset, built on a 6 nm process and featuring an octa-core CPU configuration running at 2 x 2.5 GHz and 6 x 2 GHz via big.LITTLE technology, with multithreading support and integrated LTE. It is paired with 8GB of DDR4 RAM at 2133 MHz and 128GB of internal storage, while the Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU operates at 950 MHz, supports DirectX 12, and drives a single display. The SoC also includes integrated graphics and delivers a maximum memory bandwidth of 17.1 GB/s, with full 64-bit support rounding out the platform.

The Realme Narzo 80x 5G carries a dual-lens rear camera system consisting of a 50 MP primary sensor at f/1.8 and a 2 MP secondary lens at f/2.4, both using CMOS technology, though neither features a back-illuminated sensor or optical image stabilization. Autofocus is handled via phase-detection and touch AF, with continuous autofocus available during video recording, while laser autofocus is absent. The camera supports a range of manual controls including exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, along with HDR mode, burst shooting, panorama, timelapse, and slow-motion video, but it does not offer manual shutter speed control or the ability to shoot in RAW format. Video capture tops out at 1080p at 60 fps, with no support for HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording, and a single LED flash is present on the rear with no dual-tone or RGB configuration. The front camera is a single-lens unit with no LED flash and is not positioned under the display, and 360-degree panorama and 3D photo or video recording are not supported.

The Realme Narzo 80x 5G runs Android 15 and brings a solid set of privacy and usability features to the table. On the privacy side, it includes clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not present. The interface supports theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, and an extra dim mode, while productivity is aided by split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, customizable notifications, sharing intents, widgets, and the ability to play games while they are still downloading. It also offers on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, Live Text, app offloading, a child lock, multi-user support, phone tracking, and a battery health check. Features not included are Wi-Fi password sharing, focus modes, direct OS vendor updates, Quick Start, and the ability to function as a PC.

The Realme Narzo 80x 5G is equipped with a 6000 mAh rechargeable battery that supports 45W fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. A battery level indicator is present for monitoring charge status. The battery is not removable, and wireless charging is not supported.

The Realme Narzo 80x 5G has a notably limited audio feature set. It lacks a 3.5 mm headphone jack and stereo speakers, offering only a single-channel output. On the wireless audio side, there is no support for aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC, meaning higher-quality Bluetooth audio codecs are entirely absent. A built-in radio is also not included.

The Realme Narzo 80x 5G supports 5G connectivity alongside Wi-Fi 4 (802.11n) and Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), and accommodates two SIM cards with a maximum download speed of 3300 MBits/s. Bluetooth 5.3 is on board, and the device connects via a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0, with an external memory slot available for storage expansion. For navigation and sensing, it includes GPS, Galileo, a gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass, while a fingerprint scanner handles biometric authentication. NFC is not present, nor are 3D facial recognition or an iris scanner. On the absent features side, the device does not include an infrared sensor, barometer, heart rate monitor, HDMI output, ANT+ support, DLNA certification, crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, motion or optical tracking, a built-in projector, or a stylus.

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