Realme Narzo 100x 5G launched in India with an 8,000mAh battery and 144Hz display

Realme has expanded its Narzo lineup with the launch of the Narzo 100x 5G in India, as a direct successor to last year's Narzo 90x 5G. This new smartphone mainly focuses on those users who prioritize long battery life without sacrificing smooth performance. It also offers a high refresh rate display and improved cooling system alongside battery life and durability, positioning it as one of the strongest competitors to its midrange rivals. In this article, I will discuss this phone in detail, including the expected Realme Narzo 100x 5G price in Nepal, specifications, and availability.

Realme Narzo 100x 5G Overview

Battery and camera

Starting with the feature that stands out most in Realme Narzo 100x 5G, it packs the massive 8,000mAh silicone carbon battery that Realme claims to deliver up to three days of typical usage. This huge battery can be easily topped up by using the 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging support.

Additionally, it also supports the bypass charging for gaming and reverse wired charging that allows you to quickly recharge your compatible accessories. Realme also promises up to 12 hours of continuous gaming on a single charge on this device. 

For photography, this phone comes with a 50MP f/1.8 primary rear camera, while selfies and video calls are handled by an 8MP front-facing sensor. With these optics, Narzo 100x should deliver decent photos during good lighting conditions, which should be enough for capturing memories. However, if you are looking for a phone for dedicated photography and content creation in the same price bracket, then look for an option like Honor 600 Lite, Redmi Note 15 Pro 5G (review), and Redmi Note 15 5G (review). 

Design and Display

In terms of design, Realme Narzo 100x 5G follows its previous modern flat-frame design with a clean and minimal look and maintains the thickness of 8.8mm despite packing the massive battery. Along with this, it also retains its back panel design in matte finish like its predecessor. Realme has also upgraded the durability by including the MIL-STD certification along with the IP65 rating—to offer long-term protection to your phone. 

Here, it features the vertically placed rectangular camera island where you get the rear camera sensor, LED Flash, and AI Pulse Light that support 9 different colors and in five different speeds forming the Aurora ring. You can also customize the different effects for calls and notifications. And you also get the option to select from the “Flash Orange” and “Midnight Black” color options. 

Up front, Narzo 100x opts for the 6.81-inch LCD with HD+ resolution, which is quite disappointing as its competitors like Infinix Note Edge and Infinix Note 60 Pro come with 1.5K resolution delivering sharp and crisper visual. Meanwhile, the 144Hz refresh rate that this phone offers looks impressive, and if you are someone who is into fast-paced gaming and constantly scrolls, it should deliver the fluid and smooth performance. 

Apart from this, this phone also comes with 1200 nits of high brightness mode to deliver clear visibility of the screen even when you use it under harsh sunlight. Realme has also included DC dimming in this phone to reduce screen flickering at lower brightness, so that you will not face eye fatigue while using it for extended hours. 

Performance and Software

Under the hood, Realme Narzo 100x 5G uses the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset built on the 6nm processor that we saw in other smartphones like Vivo Y21 5G, and Realme 14T 5G. So, it should comfortably handle the day-to-day tasks like social media scrolling, video streaming, and casual gaming pretty well. To complement and manage thermals, the Realme also features the 5300mm2 vapour chamber cooling system in this phone to dissipate heat more efficiently than a conventional cooling solution. 

Here, Realme also promises 2 hours of free fire at stable 60FPS, but the real-world game test of this phone may vary from it. However, the larger vapour chamber should help keep sustained performance more stable during extended gaming sessions, but the chip this phone uses is not designed for intense gaming. So, you can check the options like POCO M8 Pro and Infinix GT 30 Pro for gaming. You even get a gaming kit—including a magnetic case and a fan— in the G30 Pro in a similar price bracket to give a better gaming experience.

Memory-wise, Narzo 100x 5G comes with up to 6GB LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of UFS 2.2 storage. realme is also providing dynamic RAM expansion in this phone, so that you can borrow unused storage as virtual RAM for smoother multitasking. On the software front, it runs Realme UI 7.0 based on Android 16 out of the box with plenty of usual customization options and productivity tools. However, if you prefer a clean UI with long software and security updates, than Smasung's latest Galaxy A27 5G is also a good pick.
