realme expands its value-laden brand, NARZO, with the new NARZO N65 5G. The phone was announced in India and starts at INR 11,499 or roughly PHP 8,000.
The NARZO N65 5G has a 6.67-inch HD IPS display with 1604×720 pixel resolution, a 120Hz refresh rate, a peak brightness of 625 nits, and a Rain Water Smart Touch feature that allows for accurate and responsive touches with wet fingers.
A 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor powers the phone with either 4GB or 6GB RAM paired with 128GB of storage. It also has a 5000mAh battery under the hood with 15W fast charging.
At the back, there’s a lone 50MP camera with an f/1.8 lens. While in front, an 8MP shooter takes care of selfie duties.
The phone also features a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and an IP54 dust- and water-resistant build. It runs on realme UI 5.0 on top of Android 14.
The realme NARZO N65 5G is available in Deep Green and Amber Gold, priced at INR 11,499 (PHP 8,000) for the 4GB+128GB variant and INR 12,499 (PHP 8,700) for the 6GB+128GB variant.
It appears realme is positioning the phone to go head-on with Redmi 13c. However, expect it to compete against other budget offerings from Samsung, OPPO, vivo, and main brand realme, as well.
There’s no news yet if the phone is coming to the Philippines and other markets, but we’ll let you know if it does.
