Verdict
Realme Narzo 20A is definitely a budget allrounder smartphone for binge-watching or daily usage. The Snapdragon 665 is capable enough to run any application smoothly with very optimized battery consumption. Additionally, a 5000 mAh battery can easily cover an entire day with moderate usage. Even the real 12 MP f/1.8 looks good too.
If I talk about cons, Realme should have provided 18W fast-charging support with Type-C and an FHD+ panel. I agree, at the price of 3GB+32GB (Rs. 8499) providing an FHD+ panel is not possible. Instead, Realme could have launched only 4GB + 64GB variant with FHD+. But Again, this is brand tactics to cover a broader audience, so nothing to say more about this.
I really wish if Realme could manage to provide an FHD+ display at this price or for 500 bucks more. Just to remind you, Redmi 9 Prime is currently the Best mobile phone under 10000 in India as on date with an FHD+ display (no fingerprint sensor).
Pros
Cons
If you are looking for the best mobile phone at around Rs. 8500, choose Realme Narzo 20A (3GB+32GB) for 5000 mAh battery with reverse charging, fingerprint scanner, and Snapdragon 665 otherwise, go for Redmi 9 Prime (4GB+64GB) at Rs. 9999 for better display (FHD+ resolution) and camera but it lacks the fingerprint sensor.
Frankly speaking, 4GB+64GB variant of Realme Narzo 20A is not justifying its price.
P.S. Realme Narzo 20A smartphone will be available from September 30, 2020, at Flipkart and Online Realme Stores, 3GB+32GB at Rs. 8499/-, 4GB+64GB at Rs. 9499/-.
