Performance and storage
Realme Narzo 50i Prime runs Realme UI Go based on Android 11. It should get at least two years of Android updates and up to three years of security updates. The phone is powered by Unisoc T612 (12nm) chipset while graphical duties are handled by Mali-G57. Well, Realme has marketed that this octa-core processor can handle even the most demanding games, but don’t get your hopes up.
It is currently available in two variants. The 3GB RAM variant has 32GB of internal storage while the 4GB variant has 64GB of internal storage. It also offers the much-needed dedicated SD card slot to expand storage up to 1TB.

The Realme Narzo 50i Prime has a typical 5,000-mAh non-removable battery backup. It does not support fast charging and only has a 10W charger. However, the ultra-saving mode on it can be really useful for users. When it is at very low power, users can enable this mode. With this mode enabled, it can provide up to 1.5 hours of WhatsApp chatting, up to 2.3 hours of voice calling and up to 4.1 hours of Spotify (as advertised).
It supports dual SIM with 4G network connection. Other connectivity options include Wifi 802.11, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS and radio. It uses a micro USB 2.0 cable for charging and wired pairing. For audio, it also has a single speaker and a 3.5mm headphone jack.
