Realme has officially unveiled the Narzo 80 Lite 5G, essentially a rebranded Realme C73 but still offering good value in the budget segment. 
The device features a 6.67-inch HD+ IPS LCD display with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and peak brightness of 625 nits, providing a responsive experience even at this price point.
Under the hood, it’s powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 6300 chipset, paired with either 4GB or 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. The software runs on Realme UI 6 based on Android 15, making it one of the few budget phones shipping with the latest Android out of the box.
On the camera front, the Narzo 80 Lite comes with a single 32MP main sensor (GC32E2) on the back and an 8MP selfie camera up front. While the design might give the illusion of multiple lenses, only one camera is functional – a common trick among budget phones to keep appearances sleek without extra cost.
One of the standout features is the massive 6,000mAh battery, which supports 15W wired charging. This ensures long-lasting power, making it a reliable daily driver for users who prioritize endurance over performance power.
Available in Crystal Purple and Onyx Black, the Narzo 80 Lite 5G is priced at INR 10,499 ($121) for the 4/128GB variant and INR 11,499 ($133) for the 6/128GB variant. Launch offers bring those prices down to INR 9,999 ($116) and INR 10,799 ($125), respectively. Sales begin on June 20 via Amazon India.
While the phone’s design may give off a premium vibe, especially with its symmetrical rear layout and water-resistant marketing photos, it’s important to temper expectations. There’s no confirmed IP rating, and the screen-to-body ratio feels a bit behind compared to similar models like the Realme C75 4G. Still, for its price, the Narzo 80 Lite 5G delivers respectable hardware with a few clever tricks to appear more premium than it is.
