realme Narzo N53 128GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
7.0/10
Verdict
The Realme Narzo N53 is a good budget phone contender under Rs 10,000. It offers an attractive design, a 90Hz display, and a long battery life. However, its performance could be better and bloatware reduced. Overall, its a decent recommendation if you can overlook these drawbacks.
Pros
- Good design
- Respectable battery life
- Decent display for the price
Cons
- Performance can leave you wanting
- Bloatware
Design and display
+
The Narzo N53 has decidedly a budget build in terms of its materials used but there is a bit of ingenuity on its back panel. I have the Feather Gold colour variant that shimmers in the light with prismatic reflections. The phone is quite light in the hand and it is also one of the thinnest at just 7.4mm in thickness.

The dual-camera setup on the N53'a back consists of a 50MP primary shooter and a 2MP macro camera. In short, the photography experience is nothing out of the ordinary from what you can expect on budget devices of today. The images snapped are not exactly wrought with detailing and colours, but the final output is acceptable. Images are pixel-binned by default but you can turn on the full-resolution 50MP mode manually.

Performance and software
+
In terms of its performance, the phone has Unisoc's T612 running underneath the hood. It is an octa-core 12nm chipset and its usage is mainly suited to routine smartphone usage. Anything strenuous will start choking the UI and instigate moments of lag that can test even the most patient of men. I would suggest not using the device for anything more than social media scrolling, accessing your email, taking photos, streaming music, and YouTube. Some low-end games like the ever-popular Angry Birds run without a hitch but titles like CoD: Mobile will run at a poor fps count.

Battery
+
There is a 5,000mAh cell housed inside the phone and it is supported by 33W of fast charging. The phone's not-so heavy performance helps extend its battery life for a considerable amount of time. In PCMark's Battery Life test the phone gave a result of 16 hours 19 minutes, which I consider quite good for the capacity on offer. The phone can juice up from 0 to 100 percent in just under two hours.
