Realme has recently launched the much-awaited Narzo 60 Series in India which features the Realme Narzo 60 5G and the Realme Narzo 60 Pro 5G smartphones. The Narzo 60 5G comes as the successor to the Narzo 50 after more than a year, bringing various enhancements in specifications and design. I have experienced this phone firsthand, so here's a brief review of the same.

Pricing:
Let's start with pricing. Realme Narzo 60 5G is a reasonably well-rounded smartphone that provides good value for its price. It comes in two configurations for purchase: 8GB RAM + 128GB storage priced at ₹17,999 and 8GB RAM + 256GB storage priced at ₹19,999.
Design and Display:
The Narzo 60 5G showcases a flat design on both the front and back, a departure from the curved aesthetics of the Pro model. However, it retains the familiar back panel with vegan leather material and a large circular camera housing, similar to the Narzo 60 Pro. The frame is made of polished plastic with light gold accents that complement the striking Mars Orange variant. The phone's dimensions are ordinary that measuring nearly 8mm in thickness and weighs 182g. At the bottom, you'll find the USB Type-C port, speaker grille, and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The viewing experience is top-notch, thanks to the Narzo 60's AMOLED panel with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 protection, a 90Hz refresh rate, and FHD+ resolution. While the bezels around the display are slightly thick, the OLED technology offers vibrant colors and deep blacks, elevating the overall visual quality.

Camera:
The Realme Narzo 60 5G boasts a dual camera setup at the back that features a 64MP primary lens and a 2MP macro lens. The primary 64MP lens delivers vibrant shots in daylight, capturing rich details without artificial-looking colors. Close-up shots maintain a pleasing background blur, making it effortless to take beautiful close-ups. The camera also supports lossless 2x zoom shots with a single tap. However, the 2MP portrait lens's performance is average, producing clear shots in daylight but lacking detail and focus in low-light conditions.
