Realme Narzo 50 5G live image leaked

Realme Narzo 50 5G live image has recently leaked online. The phone seems to have a textured finish on the back. It has a square camera module to house the dual-camera sensors and dual LED flashes. The phone can be seen in a Blue colour option. The volume rocker is on the left, while the fingerprint sensor is on the right edge. The front design is under wraps.

We can speculate the Narzo 50 Pro will also have the same design language, except for some minor changes. It could have a punch-hole cutout for the selfie shooter and a boxy design.

Realme Narzo 50 5G and 50 Pro price

While there haven’t been any major leaks surrounding the price of the Narzo 50 5G series, we can speculate the Narzo 50 5G price will be around Rs 15,000, while the Pro variant could go up to Rs 20,000. The rise in the premium can be linked to the inclusion of an AMOLED display, which is a first for the Narzo series. Realme has claimed the Narzo 50 Pro 5G will be the “most affordable smartphone” to come with the MediaTek Dimensity 920 Processor.

Realme Narzo 50 Pro 5G specifications (expected)

The Realme Narzo 50 is said to sport a 6.58-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with a 90Hz refresh rate and a punch-hole cutout. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset paired with 6GB RAM and 128GB storage that could be further expandable via a microSD card. The phone is likely to boot Android 12-based Realme UI 3.0 custom skin out of the box.

The handset is said to pack a 13MP primary camera and a 2MP depth sensor for portrait shots. However, details regarding the front camera are kept under wraps. A 4,800mAh battery with 33W fast charging support is tipped to fuel the phone. Connectivity features include 5G, 4G LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS and a USB Type-C port. It could get a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security.

On the other hand, the Narzo 50 Pro 5G is confirmed to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 920 chipset which will be paired with 4GB+128GB and 6GB+128GB storage versions. The phone could be available in Black and Blue colour options. We can speculate it may come with Android 12 OS, 5G network connectivity and probably a side-mounted fingerprint sensor for security.
