Realme Narzo 70x 5G vs Realme 12x 5G:
The Narzo 70x 5G is basically a rebranded Realme 12x 5G, with the only difference being the new Icy Blue shade. Even the prices for the variants are the exact same.
Just to clarify, the Realme Narzo 70x 5G and Realme 12x 5G smartphones both have a 6.72-inch FHD+ display with a 120Hz refresh rate. They are equipped with MediaTek Dimensity 6100+ processors, 4/6 GB of RAM, and 128GB of expandable storage. Both devices support 5G connectivity and feature dual-camera setups with a 50MP primary sensor. Additionally, they are powered by a 5000mAh battery that supports 45W fast charging. These smartphones run on Android version 14.
Realme Narzo 70x 5G Alternatives
At Rs 13,499, you also get the Vivo T3x 5G, which gets you less RAM (4GB) compared to Realme’s 6GB. However, it compensates for that with a better chipset, faster RAM, a bigger 6000mAh battery, and a better IP64 rating, which we feel is more than enough for the RAM tradeoff.
Not only that, but the Galaxy F15 5G beats the Narzo 70x with its FHD+ 90Hz AMOLED display, the same Chipset and storage but lesser RAM (4GB), an ultra-wide angle camera on the back, and a bigger battery also. However, you do compromise on charging speed which is 25W. Despite the drawbacks in RAM and charging speed departments, the Galaxy F15 5G at Rs 12,999 is a better overall smartphone, also because of the longer software support.
To sum up, you can easily skip the Realme Narzo 70x 5G and pick other better options in the same price segment unless you desperately want 6GB of RAM or cannot shell out more for its competitors’ 6GB RAM variants.
