Verdict
Realme Narzo Pro is a commendable allrounder phone for heavy multimedia users with a 90Hz IPS LCD display, MediaTek Helio G95, 48-megapixel sensors, and hasty 65W SuperDart charging. Even the Helio G95 processor is capable enough to get you good frames in games like Call of Duty. Everyday usage will be buttery-smooth.
As Realme became very aggressive to capture more market shares, it started to release phones with no or very little price difference. For example, Realme Narzo 20 Pro is quite similar to Realme 7 which was launched a couple of weeks back with minor alterations like downshifting to 48 MP Primary camera and added 65W SuperDart Charging, Surprisingly at the same price point, starting from Rs. 14999/- (more detail below).
I really don’t like this kind of strategy from Xiaomi, Realme, etc. every buyer almost feels cheated when a new phone get launch within a month or so. We are in a process to dig down why brands launch too many smartphones frequently, very soon, will keep you posted.
Pros
Cons
At this price point, I personally feel, Realme Narzo 20 Pro is a quite balanced smartphone, lets see how long it remains?
If you are planning to upgrade your Realme 6/7 to the latest Realme Narzo 20 Pro, I would not recommend that. It does not make any sense, wait for a few months. You will thank me later.
P.S. Realme Narzo 20 Pro smartphone will be available from September 25, 2020, at Flipkart & Realme store, 6GB + 64GB at Rs. 14999/-, 8GB + 128GB at Rs. 16999/-.
For a phone in the mid range segment, the features and the specs of the Narzo 20 Pro are pretty solid especially in terms of the mediatek chipset and the 65W charging feature.
