Realme Narzo 80 Lite 4G launches in India, and it’s all about durability and endurance

Realme just dropped its latest budget offering in India dubbed the Realme Narzo 80 Lite 4G. Hot on the heels of the Realme C71 launch, this phone lands squarely in the under-Rs 10K category, giving price-conscious buyers yet another compelling option.

But there’s a twist. For the chronically clumsy or the adventure-prone, the Narzo 80 Lite brings military-grade durability into the mix. Add a colossal battery to the equation and you’ve got a phone built to last, in both senses of the word. Here’s the lowdown on the Realme Narzo 80 Lite 4G.

Realme Narzo 80 Lite 4G: Specs and key features

The Narzo 80 Lite 4G attempts to get the essentials right, especially for users who aren’t chasing 5G speeds. It sports a 6.74-inch HD+ LCD panel with a smooth 90Hz refresh rate. With 560 nits of peak brightness and DC dimming onboard, the display does a decent job of holding up under everyday lighting conditions.

One standout here? Smart Touch tech. Meaning the display still responds accurately even when your fingers are wet, oily, or covered with gloves.

Under the hood, the phone runs on the Unisoc T7250 4G chipset, paired with up to 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage. It boots Realme UI based on Android 15, though Realme’s kept mum on the exact version of its skin.

In the camera department, you’ll find a no-frills 13MP primary sensor, paired with an undisclosed secondary camera (likely a placeholder for depth or macro). Selfies are handled by a 5MP front shooter. While the camera hardware won’t turn heads, there’s a clever aesthetic addition, the Pulse Light LED flash. Customisable with nine colours and five modes, it’s designed to add personality to your photos.

The Narzo 80 Lite 4G is one of the rare phones in this bracket that’s been put through the wringer. It’s certified with MIL-STD-810H durability standards and rated IP54 for dust and water resistance. It’s built to shrug off drops, splashes, and general wear and tear. Bonus points for retaining the 3.5mm headphone jack, a small touch that feels like a big win in 2025.

Then there’s the battery. This phone packs a beastly 6,300mAh cell. While 15W charging isn’t blazing fast, the sheer capacity means you’ll rarely be reaching for the charger. There’s also 6W reverse wired charging, so you can top up another device in a pinch, like a friend’s dying phone or your earbuds on the go.

Realme Narzo 80 Lite 4G: Price and availability

All of this comes at a price that’s… frankly kind of wild. The base 4GB + 64GB model is priced at Rs 7,299, while the maxed-out 6GB + 128GB variant costs Rs 8,299. It’s available in two finishes – a loud-and-proud Beach Gold and a stealthy Obsidian Black. Both punch above their price tag in terms of aesthetic.

The Realme Narzo 80 Lite 4G will be up for grabs starting 12PM on July 28, via Realme’s official site and select e-commerce sites.
