This device isn’t made from scratch. Realme basically rehashed the Narzo 80 Lite, downgraded a few specs, and named it the Realme Note 80. They’ve released this newcomer in three Southeast Asian countries, but we are sure more countries are on the list. All of its details are below.
It’s a device from the Realme Note series, so it’s an entry-level model. And it’s somewhat affordable too. The screen is serviceable with its 6.74” size and a 720p HD+ resolution, though it barely fits the modern brightness standards. The high-brightness mode (HBM) only gets you 563 nits.
This screen is overclocked to 90Hz. A Unisoc T7250 chip will handle the fluid motion on the Note 80. And it keeps the system running at 1.8GHz boost clock. This is a weak chip. So frame spikes and lags in the UI will be common. The phone doesn’t have a light Android Go to compensate for weak hardware.
Realme Note 80 actually has the full-fat version of Android 15 with Realme UI 6. The storage on this newcomer goes up to 128GB, and the maximum RAM is LPDDR4X 4GB. Again, it’s a cheap phone. They’ve cut production costs with weak cameras.
Don’t let the dual lens design fool you. The rear side has a single functioning camera: an 8MP sensor for 1080p@30FPS recording. That’s it. You can technically do 10X digital zoom on it, but the images will be unusable.
They did give the Note 80 a dual-view recording mode. You can use its 5MP selfie and the rear cam simultaneously. And that’s a handy feature. A 6,300 mAh battery runs all the hardware on the Note 80. These sorts of batteries last more than a day. But the charging will be sluggish with 15W wired charging support.
There’s no 5G here. The chipset choice made it pretty clear. The newcomer has Dual-Band WiFi and Dual SIM. We don’t see NFC on the spec sheet. The Note 80 has been given an IP54 splashproof rating and a drop-safe design (1.8m). The basic Realme Note 80 (4/64GB) is priced at 3599 Baht (~PKR 32,000).
