2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Well-built, sturdy design - the unique matte-finish ridged pattern at the back looks really nice
- The front carries a dew-drop notch with decent bezels, which works for the price
- The textured back surface feels grippy and doesn't attract fingerprints
- The back has a fingerprint reader that works accurately and fast (though, the face recognition isn't very quick)
- It doesn't feel too thick or heavy even though it measures around 9mm and weighs 194g
- Good 6.53-inch IPS HD+ display - the viewing angles and colours are pretty good, better than those of the Realme C12 and C15
- The brightness is also adequate (though, it could have been better)
- MIUI 11 is as feature rich as ever, the overall interface on the phone is user friendly - Android 10 is running beneath all the jazz
- Decent entry-level performance from the MediaTek Helio G35 SoC - good for day-to-day tasks and can handle a bunch of light to medium apps at once (though, there's some noticeable stutter in the animations and opening apps at times)
- Decent dual cameras for the price - a 13MP primary camera and a 2MP depth sensor
- The quality of photos from the main camera is decent, given enough light - shots came out looking crisp and vivid
- Portrait mode works fairly well, even for objects
- The 5MP selfie camera can produce decent selfies during the day - photos maintain good color, and exposure levels
- Very good battery life - easily able to go about a day and half or even longer, on a single charge
|
- Pleasant, refreshing design - back is textured and the Narzo 20 looks and feels almost exactly the same as its C-series cousins
- Front has a similar affair with a dew-drop notch and thin bezels
- The patterned back almost completely eliminates the chances of getting fingerprints or smudges - it also adds a lot of grip and gives the phone a very solid, sturdy feel
- Face recognition and fingerprint sensor are quick to unlock the smartphone
- Large, 6.5 inch IPS display with HD+ resolution - the colors are vibrant with a decent amount of sharpness
- The Narzo 20 comes with Realme UI based on Android 10 which is much more streamlined and clean compared to previous realme phones - it still packs a lot of useful features like Dark mode, Focus mode, Game Space and Personal Information Protection
- Performance is good for the price - the Realme Narzo 20 runs smooth in day-to-day situations, UI is pleasantly fluid and flipping between apps is quite easy - heavy gaming is possible, but don't expect too much
- Good triple camera setup for the price - a 48MP primary shooter, an 8MP ultra-wide, and a 2MP depth sensor
- The main camera can click photos with decent details in bright light - colours have a punch, they come out well even when shot against a direct light source, thanks to the HDR and chroma boost
- The ultra-wide camera captures a wider perspective (though the details are on the weaker side)
- The macro camera produces fun, usable photos as long as you give it a lot of light and the correct focal distance
- The portrait shots look good, and the edge detection is decent as well
- The 8MP front camera can shoot decent selfies - the portrait mode works for the front camera as well
- Decent video recording quality, with a option to shoot slow motion videos
- Monster 6000mAh battery delivers an incredible 2-3 days of usage easily, making for one of the largest battery life smartphones currently available
- Supports 18W Fast charging with an included fast charger
- The Narzo 20 is a decent phone with great battery life and good enough performance for occasional gaming, therefore much easier to recommend than its C series cousins, and a much stronger offering in its segment
|
2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- It packs in plenty pre-installed bloatware, the ads are still here, it isn't the perfect user experience
- The Redmi 9 really struggles in low light - details are generally weak when shooting at night
- Video quality is strictly average
- The phone doesn't support fast charging and an hour of charge could only fill the battery to 40-percent charge
- The Redmi 9 doesn't have any singular standout feature which it can lean on to differentiate itself and command a premium - it is easily outperformed by competition, including Xiaomi’s own Redmi 9 Prime, for just money, you end up getting a much better overall device in the 9 Prime
|
- Quite hefty, at 208g weight and 9.8 thickness
- The Narzo 20 misses out on a full HD panel that some of Realme’s competitors have already started offering at this price
- There is no Widevine L1 certification which means that you cannot enjoy HD content on Netflix and Amazon Prime
- There's still some bloatware that comes pre-installed
- Low light photos are average, as expected, they lack detail and aren't very sharp
