The budget smartphone segment in India is getting a new addition with the launch of the Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G, scheduled for today.
Set to join the existing Narzo 80x and Narzo 80 Pro, this new Lite model aims to offer strong value with a large battery, decent performance, and 5G support — all under ₹10,000.
If you’re looking for a new entry-level 5G phone, here’s everything we know so far.
Price in India
Realme has confirmed that the Narzo 80 Lite 5G will be priced under ₹10,000. With that, it directly competes with other affordable 5G phones like the Poco C75 and Redmi A4 5G.
The exact pricing will be revealed during the launch event, but it’s likely to be one of the cheapest 5G smartphones from Realme.
Battery
One of the standout features of the Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G is its 6,000mAh battery. According to official teasers on Amazon, this battery is capable of providing:
- up to 15.7 hours of YouTube playback
- up to 46.6 hours of continuous calling
While the exact fast-charging wattage is yet to be revealed, the phone is confirmed to support reverse charging, allowing it to charge other devices in emergencies.

Design
The Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G will feature a flat display with slim bezels and a centered hole-punch cutout for the selfie camera. The rear design houses a dual camera setup in a rectangular camera module.
Build details and colors:
- Thickness: 7.94mm
- Build Certification: MIL-STD-810H (for durability)
- Color Options: Crystal Purple and Onyx Black
- Buttons: Power and volume rockers on the right spine
It promises to be both sleek and sturdy, a rare combo at this price.
Display
The display is expected to feature an HD+ resolution, ideal for basic content viewing and app usage. Though the refresh rate hasn’t been confirmed, budget Realme phones usually offer a 90Hz panel.
On the camera front, leaks suggest a 50MP primary rear camera along with a secondary depth or macro sensor. The front will house a selfie shooter in the punch-hole cutout.

Processor
Under the hood, the Realme Narzo 80 Lite 5G is likely to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC, the same chip found in several other affordable 5G phones like the Samsung Galaxy A16.
Built on a 6nm process, this chip is expected to offer solid efficiency and smooth performance for everyday tasks.
Storage variants expected:
- 4GB RAM + 128GB storage
- 6GB RAM + 128GB storage
There’s no word on microSD card support yet, but Realme usually includes that in this range.
