If the countless options in India’s extremely popular affordable smartphone segment weren’t cutting it for you, Realme today introduced two new devices that deliver the goods with big batteries and a focus on design.

Realme Narzo 10

First up is the Realme Narzo 10. The phone is a take on the recently launched Realme 6i and is powered by a MediaTek Helio G80 chipset. The 6.5-inch display with an HD+ resolution is bog standard for the category.

The phone has a particular focus on imaging and design, packs a 48MP primary shooter in addition to an 8MP ultra-wide lens. A 2MP depth sensor and 2MP macro camera round off the camera setup.

Prospective buyers will appreciate the 5,000mAh battery with 18W charging support. The phone ships in a single variant with 4GB of RAM and 128GB storage, and is priced at Rs. 11,999 (~$160), which isn’t a bad deal considering the overall package.

Realme Narzo 10A

Elsewhere, the Narzo 10A caters to the entry-level segment and is priced to match. This is basically a Realme C3 variant when you look at the spec sheet. The MediaTek Helio G70 powered phone packs a similar 6.5-inch display as the Narzo 10, but replaces the camera setup with a 12MP primary sensor and a pair of 2MP cameras (portrait and macro). You do still get the same 5,000mAh battery but miss out on 18W charging support. Unlike the Narzo 10, the phone sports a micro-USB connector which is definitely a downer.

This mostly matches the Realme C3 then, although the new phone seems to sport an extra 2MP camera compared to the C3’s dual-camera combo.

The Realme Narzo 10A ships in a single 3GB RAM, 32GB storage configuration and is priced at Rs. 8,499 (~$112).
