Realme has expanded its Narzo 70 series in India with the launch of the Narzo 70 Turbo, aimed at entry-level mid-range users with a focus on gaming performance. Let's explore if this new model lives up to the expectations.
Realme Narzo 70 Turbo Specifications
The Narzo 70 Turbo is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Energy chipset, featuring a prime Cortex-A78 core with a maximum clock speed of 2.5GHz, and a Mali G615 GPU for graphics handling.
It offers up to 12GB of RAM and 256GB of storage, with an additional 2GB of "Dynamic RAM" for a total of 14GB, though its practicality remains debatable.
A notable feature for gamers is the new GT Mode, which optimizes performance, speeds up game loading times, includes visual filters for better in-game visibility, and even offers a voice changer for some fun.
The phone also features a 120Hz refresh rate display with a 180Hz touch sampling rate to further enhance the gaming experience.
Display and Design
Beyond gaming, the Narzo 70 Turbo includes a 6.67-inch FHD+ Samsung E4 OLED display, providing vibrant colors and sharp visuals for regular use. It's protected by AG DT Star 2 glass for scratch resistance and features a Moto-Sport-inspired design on the back.
The device is equipped with a 5000mAh battery that supports 45W fast charging, ensuring all-day power. Additionally, it has a microSD card slot for expandable storage.
Camera and Additional Features
The camera setup is modest, with a 50MP primary sensor and a secondary 2MP sensor, sufficient for everyday photography. A 16MP front-facing camera is available for selfies and video calls.
Realme has included several bonus features, such as IP65 water and dust resistance, a 6050 mm² stainless steel VC cooling system for keeping the device cool during intense gaming, and a rain-detection mode that adjusts touch sensitivity in wet conditions. The phone also offers dual stereo speakers for immersive sound and comes with a TUV SUD certification for lag-free gaming.

The Narzo 70 Turbo is priced starting at Rs 16,999 for the 6GB/128GB version. The 8/128GB and 12/256GB models are priced at Rs 17,999 and Rs 20,999, respectively.
Realme also provides a Rs 2,000 discount coupon, reducing the starting price to Rs 14,999. The phone will be available for purchase from September 16th on Amazon and Realme's official website, in three color variants: Turbo Yellow, Turbo Purple, and Turbo Green.
