realme narzo 50A and narzo 50i launched: Interesting sub-RM800 phones

The realme narzo 50A and 50i have just been launched in India, bringing more well-rounded budget options to the market. 

The narzo 50A is the more powerful of the two as it packs a MediaTek Helio G85 along with up to 8GB RAM. It packs a massive 6,000mAh battery and 18W of charging. 

Like previously reported, the phone does come with a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner located on the camera bump, which is odd.

The phone sports a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD display with a drop-notch selfie module. For imaging, the phone packs a 50MP main lens, a 2MP macro shooter, and a 2MP portrait lens. 

On to the narzo 50i, you get a Unisoc SC9863A chipset along with up to 4GB RAM and 64GB storage.  

For imaging, you get an 8MP main lens and a 5MP selfie camera. There’s a 5,000mAh battery that you can charge over micro-USB. 

The narzo 50A is priced at INR11,499 (about RM652) for the 4+64GB variant, and INR12,499 (about RM709) for the 8+128GB model. The narzo 50i costs INR 7,499 (about RM425) for the 2+32GB model, and INR8,999 (about RM510) for the 4+64GB version.  

There’s no word on when these phones will arrive in Malaysia yet, but when it does, we reckon the narzo 50A will sell like hotcakes thanks to its impressive value.
