| 2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Fresh, sophisticated and premium-looking rear design - it features a pattern of vertical pinstripes down the rear that seem to shift from side to side when you move the phone around under the light
- Front looks slick with a dewdrop notch at the top
- It's relatively easy to use and live with because of its tall and narrow footprint
- The fingerprint reader is on the back and performs well
- Large 6.5-inch HD+ display - it's crisp enough for gaming and video streaming
- Software is one area where Realme has taken a big leap, the Realme UI is easy to use - it is also packed with features such as Game Space, Digital Wellbeing, Focus Mode, Dark Mode, and Riding Mode among others
- Good performance from the new MediaTek G80 chipset (similar to the Snapdragon 712) - the phone smoothly handles day-to-day task with ease and heavy games like PUBG Mobile run reasonably well
- Decent quad-camera setup at the back - a 48MP primary camera, a 8MP ultra-wide, a 2MP macro and a 2MP depth sensor
- Shots with primary camera, under bright sunlight have lots of detail and exposures are well balanced - it works well for casual photography
- The ultra-wide-angle camera delivers fairly decent shots and captures more of the scene in the frame, as long as there is good lighting
- The portrait mode works well with well defined subjects and natural looking bokeh
- The selfie camera is decent - it also takes quite good portraits
- Excellent battery life with the 5000 mAh battery - it easily lasts for 2 days of moderate use
- Decent fast charging with the supplied 18W charger - it fills the phone's battery to the brim in about 2 hours
- The Narzo 10 is a very strong contender if your priority is performance and battery life, and for its target audience, which are gamers, these are the things that matter
|
- Catchy, elegant 'V-pattern' rear design - the V-design at the back with a smooth texture gives the device a good look
- Trendy, tear-drop notch front design - the bezels on the sides are thin for smartphones at this price
- The 20:9 aspect ratio makes the smartphone tall and slim, so it's relatively comfortable to hold and use
- The fingerprint scanner is located on the rear and works well, so does the Face Unlock
- The weight is evenly distributed, the device doesn't feel too heavy to hold
- Large, 6.5 inch IPS display with HD+ resolution - the colors are vibrant with a decent amount of sharpness
- Sunlight legibility is decent - the display gets bright enough for comfortable outdoor use
- The Narzo 20A 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
- Decent triple camera setup for the price - a 12MP primary shooter + a 2MP depth sensor + a 2MP ‘retro’ unit
- The primary camera can take nice pictures in good lighting conditions, the colour accuracy is good and the dynamic range and sharpness are also decent enough and for a phone at this price
- There's also a decent Macro mode which lets you get very close to the subject (focusing at a close distance could be an issue though)
- The portrait shots also come out good and they are usable for most scenarios
- Decent video recording quality, with a option to shoot slow-motion videos
- Impressive battery life with a big 5000 mAh battery - it lasts for two full days on a single charge with moderate usage
|
| 2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- A bit thick at 9mm and relatively hefty at 199g
- Competition offers better displays with FHD+ resolution
- The display isn't particularly bright and could be a problem to use in direct sunlight
- There are still a number of pre-loaded apps however - though most of these can thankfully be uninstalled
- Low-light photography is just average, as expected from a budget phone
- Macros are blotchy and rough, with the limited resolution, this camera should be used more for fun than anything else
- However, if you can spend a little more, you might want to consider the Realme 6 and the Redmi Note 9 Pro instead, as they offer much better performance and cameras
|
- 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
- Poor performance from the Snapdragon 665 SOC - opening up apps, scrolling through the interface, heading to settings, or even just going through the list of apps is a painfully slow process - the performance of the phone is pretty disappointing to the extent that this could be one of the worst-performing phones in some years
- Low light photos are average, as expected, they lack detail and aren't very sharp
- Selfies are average too with inaccurate colour tone and low sharpness and details - the portrait selfie is not very consistent either
- Still offers the old MicroUSB, while the competition has started offering USB Type-C in the budget segment
- Charging is on the slower side with the 10W charger - it takes over 3 hours to charge the smartphone completely
- The Realme Narzo 20A offers a good display, new design, and excellent battery life, however, the performance lets you down big time - with Realme Narzo 20A letting you down even with basic apps and day to day usage, it is difficult to recommend this phone to anyone
