Realme launched its 11 Professional sequence of smartphones only a few days again, and is now already again with its Narzo sequence – Narzo 60. Priced at Rs. 23,999, Rs. 24,999 and Rs. 27,999 (the one I attempted), it is available in direct competitors to realme’s personal 11 Professional+, Poco F5 and Moto Edge 40.
Let’s try to see if there’s actually something new right here price your consideration.
Design: Realme Narzo 60 Professional follows a really acquainted design now we have seen from Realme. With a flashy orange vegan leather-based again and copper-ish trying sides, the cellphone does not feel and appear low-cost in any respect. It does not have any creaking sounds or bends anyplace. The identical copper look follows on the again’s round digital camera module. The entrance has a 6.43-inch curved show with Corning Gorilla Glass 5 on high and symmetrical slim bezels round. On the correct, you get the amount buttons and the facility/lock key close to the center, whereas the left aspect is all plain. The underside carries the twin SIM card tray, USB Sort-C, main mic, and one outlet for loudspeakers. The cellphone weighs below 185 grams and measures about 8mm in thickness, which means it does not really feel too cumbersome to hold round contemplating the show and the 5,000mAh battery inside. The vegan leather-based again has to this point held up properly, however I can not say how properly it is going to be three months from now in relation to mud and smudges from arms and in any other case.
Show: There is a 6.7-inch Tremendous AMOLED FHD+ (1080×2412) show in place right here that helps refresh charges of as much as 120Hz and a peak brightness of about 1000 nits. I discovered it usable below direct daylight and responsive to the touch. The show is vibrant and supplies good black ranges for content material. For HDR10 content material (which does not play on Netflix), I discovered its distinction and shade calibration to be okay however not completely satisfying by way of shadows. Nonetheless, it nonetheless holds superb contemplating the value tag. For viewing high-resolution pictures and full HD movies, the cellphone does not disappoint and delivers the color-rich output that you simply would possibly count on from Realme by now.
Digicam: You get a 100MP (f/1.75) foremost digital camera with OIS and a 2MP (f/2.4) portrait digital camera. The principle digital camera can seize photographs the place you possibly can zoom in at 2x and nonetheless have some particulars and colours intact. The photographs, normally, got here out well-stitched with respectable dynamic vary. Nonetheless, portrait photographs depart so much to be desired and battle even in good lighting and with a nonetheless topic like your tea/espresso mug. You may shoot 1080p movies at 120FPS and 4K at 30FPS. The digital camera is snappy to make use of, and there is not an enormous shutter lag whereas utilizing completely different modes and filters. The 16MP (f/2.45) digital camera takes barely skin-smoothened photographs, however you possibly can swap off filters and wonder modes utterly to get photographs nearer to the precise scene.
Efficiency and software program expertise: The Narzo 60 Professional is provided with the MediaTek 7050 chipset (octa-core processor clocked at as much as 2.6GHz, Mali G-68 GPU) together with 12GB of RAM and 1TB of storage (additionally accessible in 8GB + 256GB or 128GB choices). It runs on Realme UI 4.0 based mostly on Android 13 with the June safety patch. As a consequence of current stories, Realme has switched off Enhanced companies by default (was once one of many first issues I turned off when organising a Realme gadget), however there are nonetheless related units of third-party apps pre-installed right here, pushing notifications left, proper, and middle. It’s important to spend slightly time switching these off, in addition to customized search within the app drawer. The cellphone handles day-to-day duties with out breaking a sweat. Although there generally is a few body drops once in a while when scrolling between pictures in apps akin to Twitter and Realme’s personal Images app, it did get higher with the final OS replace. Realme Narzo 60 Professional does not warmth up an excessive amount of, and by way of dealing with a recreation akin to CoD: Cellular, the cellphone dealt with it on the best settings and confirmed excessive body gameplay persistently. The OS has improved RAM administration in comparison with earlier variations, and it additionally handles the opening of apps and switching between duties with no compromises. One bug I discovered was that when unlocking the gadget after urgent the facility/lock key solely as soon as, it could begin the Google Assistant though the press wasn’t lengthy, however this occurred possibly as soon as a day or so.
Battery life: You get a 5,000mAh battery unit within the cellphone and a 67-watt SuperVooc charger within the field. I discovered the cellphone to final a few day even with two SIM playing cards inserted. With a few hours of hotspot switching between 5G and 4G, the cellphone does not warmth up an excessive amount of. With two e mail accounts, brightness at about 40%, an hour of video playback, and a whole lot of scrolling inside Twitter, Instagram, and Telegram, the cellphone does not hand over earlier than a day. It prices from 1% to full in about 50 minutes utilizing the identical charger.
Different stuff: The cellphone’s 5G and 4G connectivity is top-notch. I particularly seen that switching from one 4G SIM card to a different 5G-enabled SIM card wasn’t a problem, and it latched on to the respective community with out an enormous delay. The loudspeakers on the gadget are loud, although not as clear as those on the 11 Professional+. Nonetheless, they nonetheless get the job finished for watching movies or taking part in video games when alone. WiFi, GPS, and Bluetooth efficiency listed here are nothing to complain about, offering the switch speeds and steady connectivity that you’d count on. Then again, the in-screen fingerprint scanner is okay for frequent use.
Verdict: All in all, the Narzo 60 Professional looks as if one other value-for-money gadget from Realme that gives a whole lot of efficiency, an important show, a good digital camera expertise, and dependable battery life that does not disappoint regardless of placing it to the take a look at. I might inform the Realme crew to maintain tweaking and refining the RealUI, however then once more, that is not new. So, in the event you’re on the lookout for an Android gadget below Rs. 30,000 and prioritize battery life and show, the Narzo 60 Professional is a contender price trying out.
