A new Realme phone has quietly entered the budget market, and it’s clearly made to turn heads. With the word “Turbo” in its name, this device promises speed, smooth gaming, and long battery life at a price many people can actually afford. If you want strong performance without spending too much, this phone is worth a closer look.
Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G: What’s New
Realme has launched the Narzo 70 Turbo 5G in India as part of its popular Narzo series. The phone is aimed at users who love gaming, fast apps, and smooth multitasking but don’t want to cross the ₹15,000–₹20,000 range. According to Realme, this phone delivers a gaming-like experience in a budget-friendly package, and on paper, it looks quite promising.
Design That Feels Sporty and Premium
The Narzo 70 Turbo 5G comes with a motorsport-inspired design that looks fresh and modern. The phone is slim at just 7.6mm and weighs 185 grams, so it feels light and easy to hold. Realme offers three bold colors: Turbo Yellow, Turbo Green, and Turbo Purple. The square camera module on the back adds character, while the 3.5mm headphone jack is a nice touch for users who still prefer wired earphones.
Bright and Smooth AMOLED Display
This phone features a 6.67-inch Full HD+ AMOLED display that looks sharp and colorful. The 120Hz refresh rate makes scrolling, gaming, and daily use feel very smooth. With up to 2000 nits peak brightness and HDR10+ support, watching videos feels enjoyable even outdoors. The Rainwater Smart Touch feature helps the screen work better when your hands are wet, which is surprisingly useful.
Strong Performance for Gaming and Multitasking
Inside, the Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G runs on the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Energy processor, built on a 4nm process. It comes with 8GB or 12GB RAM and storage options of 128GB or 256GB using fast UFS 3.1 storage. GT Mode boosts gaming performance, while the large 6050mm² vapor chamber cooling system helps keep the phone cool. With an AnTuTu score above 7,50,000, the phone clearly packs serious power for its price.
Camera Experience in Daily Use
The phone has a 50MP AI rear camera and a 16MP front camera. The rear camera supports EIS and can record 4K videos. Photos in daylight come out clear and detailed, though low-light shots could be better. The selfie camera works well for casual photos, but some users may notice slight changes in skin tones.
Battery Life and Fast Charging
Realme has added a 5000mAh battery that easily lasts one and a half to two days with normal use. The 45W SuperVOOC fast charging is impressive, charging the phone to 50% in about 30 minutes and fully charging it in around one hour.
Software and Connectivity
The phone runs on Android 14 with Realme UI 5.0 and includes features like Air Gestures, AI Smart Loop, and Windows Link. Some pre-installed apps are present, but they can be removed. Connectivity options include dual 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, GPS, USB Type-C, and an in-display fingerprint scanner.

The prices start at ₹16,999 for the 6GB/128GB variant, ₹17,999 for 8GB/128GB, and ₹20,999 for 12GB/256GB. Currently, the base variant is listed at ₹13,920.
