Honor 200 Lite 5G vs Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G
Compared to the Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G, which goes up till Rs 18,999 for the 12GB + 256GB model, the Honor 200 Lite lacks behind in a couple of areas. While both of them have a capable display, Realme Narzo 70 Turbo’s panel has a higher refresh rate that makes for a lot of difference in real world usage. In addition, Realme’s device offers a far better chipset that would result in better performance, be it in daily use or when gaming.
The Narzo 70 Turbo also packs a bigger battery with faster charging, has an IP rating, as well as equips stereo speakers, where on the other hand, the Honor device has neither the stereo speakers nor an IP rating. Furthermore, Realme’s handset also has more RAM and costs only Rs 1,000 more which is a premium we feel is worth paying for.
The Honor 200 Lite 5G has only one advantage over Realme’s device, and that includes its cameras, which at least on paper, are quite superior to the dual camera setup on the Narzo. If you can compromise on that part, we feel Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G is a much better pick over the Honor 200 Lite.
