There are little to no distinctions among the smartphones being released by various smartphone companies. Additionally, these gadgets make many potential customers quite confused. This tendency is well shown by the Galaxy A, Galaxy F, and Galaxy M product lines from Samsung, many of which have very similar features. Similar tactics have been used by Realme for its Realme C and Narzo series.
We had the opportunity to examine the Realme Narzo 50i Prime after previously evaluating the Realme C30 and Realme C33. It has very comparable specs to the Narzo 50i and Realme C30s, although it has a speedier processor and a newer Bluetooth version while skipping a fingerprint reader.

Because they seem so similar, it would be difficult to distinguish between the Realme Narzo 50i Prime and Realme C30s' designs. The camera island is larger and the back pattern is different on the Narzo 50i Prime. Both smartphones have the same remainder of the design, which includes a non-branded glass cover, a plastic frame, and a plastic back. Despite having so much plastic, the phone is well-made. In addition, it looks nice.
The sides are flat, and the back has a ridged design. On the right side of the gadget, the power and volume controls are easily reachable. But this phone lacks a fingerprint sensor, unlike the Realme C33, and the power button feels a little mushy.
The Realme Narzo 50i Prime's 6.5-inch IPS LCD is identical to that of the Realme C33. It denotes that the phone's display is quite typical. Even though it boasts HD+ resolution, there are moments when minor UI components and text with small font sizes look pixelated. Regarding its brightness and colour, I have no issues. But when Realme turned the contrast up to 11, certain UI components lost some of their finer nuances. I have no significant problems with the screen. It is substantial, well-lit, and vibrant.
The Realme Narzo 50i Prime's lone loudspeaker performs satisfactorily. Expect nothing miraculous from it, despite the volume it produces. While it's OK for watching videos, it would be ideal to use earbuds when listening to music. You may use your preferred set of earbuds because the phone features a 3.5mm headphone socket. The CCA Lyra and the Moondrop Chu, which we just reviewed, are two excellent options if you want a set of corded earphones. Check out the OPPO Enco Buds Buds 2 or the Realme Buds Air 3S, which we evaluated and thought were terrific wireless headphones.
On the back, there is only one camera, and I don't mind that at all. In truth, I adore the fact that Realme didn't slap any pointless 2MP cameras on the back to merely demonstrate its numerous cameras. However, the 8MP resolution and sensor size of the phone are underwhelming. A 13MP camera sensor is located on the back of the comparably priced Redmi 10A phone.
Let's examine the Realme Narzo 50i Prime's camera performance. In daytime, the 8MP rear camera produces respectable pictures. The dynamic range is superb, and the colours are lovely. The details are adequate, and the visuals are vibrant. The camera produced better photographs than I anticipated, and I believe Realme's image processing algorithms are maximising the 8MP sensor's capabilities.
CONCLUSION
Affordable smartphone with a decent-looking design, a sizable and bright display, solid software, quick performance, and a long battery life is the Realme Narzo 50i Prime. It does, however, have certain drawbacks. First and foremost, a USB Type-C port should have been included on the phone rather than a microUSB one. Additionally, it ought to have had better cameras and faster charging.
The Xiaomi Redmi 10, which boasts a fingerprint reader, a USB Type-C connector, better front camera video recording, a higher-resolution back camera, and quicker charging rates, is available for just $500 extra. However, the Narzo 50i Prime is the better option if your budget is limited to 7,999.
