We recently conducted a performance comparison between the Realme Narzo 70 5G and the Lava Blaze Curve (review), and now it’s time for a battery comparison. Let’s find out which smartphone offers better battery life backup across different use case scenarios!
Here are the battery specifications for both smartphones:
| REALME NARZO 70 5G | LAVA BLAZE CURVE |
| 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging | 5,000mAh battery with 33W fast charging |
PCMark
The PCMark battery benchmark considers the time a smartphone’s battery takes to drop from 100 percent to under 20 percent under mixed-use cases. The Realme Narzo 70 registered 14 hours and 49 minutes on the test, while the Blaze Curve put up a timing of 16 hours and 39 minutes on the test. The results suggest that the Lava Blaze Curve offers better battery backup than the Narzo 70.
Winner: Lava Blaze Curve
Video streaming
Next, we played the same YouTube video on both the Narzo 70 and the Blaze Curve to determine their battery drain percentage. After 30 minutes of playback time on each, the Narzo 70 registered a battery drain of 4 percent, while the Blaze Curve lost 5 percent of its battery. This round goes in favour of the Narzo 70.

| Battery drain: 4 percent | Battery drain: 5 percent |
Winner: Realme Narzo 70
Gaming test
For our gaming tests, we played BGMI (Battlegrounds Mobile India) on both devices for 30 minutes each and noted their respective battery drain percentages. While performing this test, the Realme Narzo 70 registered a drain of 7 percent, while the Blaze Curve clocked a drain of just 6 percent. As you can see, the Blaze Curve comes out ahead in our gaming test.
Winner: Lava Blaze Curve
Charging speed
The Realme Narzo 70 boasts a faster 45W charging speed compared to the Blaze Curve’s 33W support. As you might expect, the Narzo 70 takes 52 minutes to recharge completely from 20 to 100 percent, while the Blaze Curve takes around 61 minutes to achieve the same. While the Realme Narzo 70 wins this round, the Blaze Curve is not noticeably slower when it comes to charging speeds.

Winner: Realme Narzo 70
Verdict
As you can see, the battery comparison between these phones was a closely fought contest. However, it is clear that the Lava Blaze Curve is a better handset if you want a longer backup, while the Realme Narzo 70 should be preferred if you want faster charging. It is important to note that while gaming, at least after 30 minutes, the Blaze Curve was performing better in terms of battery drain. But again, after 30 minutes of streaming a YouTube video, the Narzo 70 was more efficient. So if you’re looking for a phone that offers a better battery backup, your primary use case (gaming or streaming) will decide which phone is right for you.
