Realme Narzo 30A Overview:

Design and Display

Narzo 30A has a dual-tone finish at the back. Around two-thirds of the rear panel is covered with a diagonal stripe. The remaining portion on the top is home to the square camera bump, Narzo branding, and a physical fingerprint mount. It is available in two color options – Lazer Blue and Lazer Black. On the front, the phone features a 6.5-inch HD+ display. It has a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera and boasts a peak brightness of 570 nits. The screen-to-body ratio here is 88.7% and the phone comes with an Eye Protection Mode that controls blue right emission.

Performance

Under the hood, the device packs the Helio G85 processor. It is a popular gaming chipset from MediaTek and the company claims that it is the first time it has been included in a phone of this price range. Well, that is true seeing how the Redmi Note 9 powered by the same silicon is expensive than Narzo 30A. The phone is available in two memory configurations – 3/32GB and 4/64GB variant. Unlike the Pro model, this one has a dedicated MicroSD card slot that users can use to expand the internal storage. The phone ships with Realme UI based on Android 10. However, the company has confirmed that it will get the Realme UI 2.0 (Android 11) update quite soon.
