Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G price is 16,999 rupees in India. This price is 128GB internal storage and 6GB RAM. But I’m using 12GB RAM and 256GB vanities of Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G for review, which price is 23,999 rupees. You can buy it in Turbo Yellow, Turbo Green and Turbo Purple. This phone is available on Flipkart and Amazon.

The Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G packs the following items inside the box:

• Phone
• 45W Charger
• Type C cable

Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G comes with a beautiful design. I have the Turbo Yellow colour, but it comes in two more colours: Turbo Purple and Turbo Green. Turbo Yellow is unique because its back panel has two black strips on the side, which are inspired by the car.

This phone has a square-shaped camera setup on the backside. The frame is made of plastic and polycarbonate. Overall, its body finishes are very good. It has a flat design, but you will see a little bit of curves on the backside. Its dimensions are 161.7 x 74.7 x 7.6 mm, and this phone is not heavy because it only weighs 185 grams.

The top of the Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G has a 3.5mm jack, microphone and secondary speaker strip. Its bottom has a main speaker strip, microphone and a SIM tray. While its right side has a volume and power button. Overall, buttons are not too hard to press.

Moreover, this phone has an IP65 rating for dust and water-resistant. I think this price and IP65 rating are enough, and the Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G design review is fine.

Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5 camera review is almost average. It has a 50MP + 2MP rear camera to deliver excellent photos. Its camera does not have an ultra-wide-angle camera. I took photos in different environments. You can see the daylight photos; first of all, they balance the dynamic range, and the photos are coming out decently. But one thing is that all the photos are saturated. If you look carefully, the green trees become a little light green. Along with this, the colour of the sky also changes a bit.

But the quality of the camera is commendable at this price. Recently, I reviewed the Poco m6 plus, so compared to its camera, it is very good.

Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5 has a 16MP front camera. If you click selfie photos here, you will get okay selfies; they may look beautiful. You will find selfies fine. Also, selfies were clicked at night; the result is decent in this, too.

I tried video recording in Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5; it can record video up to 4k 30fps from the main camera. You also have the stabilization feature in video recording. That means you can activate the action mode when you want to record an action video, making the video quality even better.

Also, this phone has dual speakers, so the sound is quite good. It is not very punchy, but it is good.

Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5 has a 5,000mAh battery, which shows that it is a powerhouse. However, I was not impressed with its battery life in the review. The battery can definitely last almost 24 to 36 hours in regular use, but Its battery drains fast during gameplay.

I played a lot of BGMI games on this phone, and I could get almost seven to eight hours during gameplay. But it comes with a 45W fast charger, so it will take up to one hour to charge fully.

Moreover, it’s worth mentioning that if you forget to plug out from the charging, there is no fear because Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5 has a feature charging limit. So, you can set your charging limit to 80 per cent; when the battery is charged to your limit, then any power will come to your battery. With this feature, you can protect your battery from any problem.

If you look at the front side of Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5, there are few chins and bezels. This phone has a 6.67-inch full OLED display with Dragon Trail display protection. There is also an in-display finger scanner, and the overall speed is good.

This phone has a 120Hz refresh rate display, which helps fast scrolling and other smooth movement. So I liked it very much at this price. You can watch HDR content on YouTube and Netflix because they support HDR10.

The rest of the display colours are good, the viewing angle is good, and the high brightness mode is 1200 nits. I checked it outdoors, and according to the price, the display feels bright, and you will get the option of always on display. But the AOD feature consumes a little more battery than usual.

Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5 has a display resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and 395 ppi density. So, the overall display is quite good, and there are no significant flaws.

Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5 has MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Energy (4 nm) for excellent performance. This phone comes in many RAM and storage variants, such as 6GB, 6GB, and 6GB RAM options, while 128GB and 256GB storage options are available. It has a LPDDR4X type RAM but UFS 3.0 storage, which is very good for this price.

Like Realme’s GT series, there is also GT mode. There are some selected games in which 90fps support is also available. I played BGMI at 90fps. I also played COC and Call of Duty; other performances were impressive. But one thing is worth mentioning: the phone was warmed during gameplay. When I was watching a movie, I also felt the phone was a little bit warm.

I did several performance tests on the Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5 to review it. Its Geekbench scores are 1037 in single-core and 2864 in multi-core. The maximum in the CPU throttling test is 58 per cent. Moreover, its Antutu score is 584609. The 3D Mark Wildlife Extreme Stress Test for stability has an overall score of 98.7 per cent.

Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5 has an Android 14 operating system based on Realme UI 5.0. Moreover, it comes with three years of security patches and two Android updates. It also has several UI features, like a dynamic bar, which you can enable from the settings.

Moreover, it has app arrangements in an alphabetic listicle way, but you can also change it slide-way. On the home page, you will see some major apps, and you can also add your favourite apps on the home page.

This phone has several bloatware apps, like Hot games, hot apps, and pre-installed apps. These apps can slow your phones, but you can uninstall them if you wish.
