realme has just launched a new generation of its Narzo models Narzo 60 5G and the Narzo 60 Pro 5G. Both smartphones are included preorder and will go on sale on July 15th. As with most new releases, these new models are priced up a bit compared to the Narzo 50 series, but you also get upgraded specs and features. Today we’re taking a closer look at what to expect from the Narzo 60 Pro 5G in terms of included accessories and features.
Realme is one of the few companies that still packs plenty of features into their smartphones. The Narzo 60 Pro 5G comes with a TPU case, an 80W power adapter, a USB cable, a SIM eject tool and some documentation. You also get a screen protector already attached to the phone.
The Realme Narzo 60 Pro 5G looks unlike anything we’ve seen in the series so far. It actually looks very similar Realme 11 Pro 5G. In fact, these phones could just as easily be called twins, as apart from a slightly different rear panel, both are virtually identical in terms of design and specs. A big differentiating factor, however, is the amount of storage space you get.
The top variant of the Realme Narzo 60 Pro 5G has 12 GB of RAM and a whopping 1 TB of integrated storage. This is the first time that a smartphone in this segment has been equipped with this type of storage. This variant costs Rs. 29,999. The middle option comes with 12GB RAM and 256GB storage and costs Rs. 26,999, while the base variant gives you 8GB RAM and 128GB storage for Rs. 26,999. 23,999. The phone is available in Mars Orange color with a faux leather back and in a Cosmic Black option with a polycarbonate back. The latter has a very nice metallic texture under the plastic panel and is smooth to the touch.
The Narzo 60 Pro 5G’s display is a big talking point for Realme. It’s a 6.7-inch curved-edge AMOLED panel with a 120Hz refresh rate and Full HD+ resolution. In the short time I’ve been using this phone, the colors appear rich and the brightness is more than adequate. I like that the phone also has a narrow chin so the edges look even throughout. You get an in-display fingerprint sensor, which sits a little too low on the display for my liking. Thanks to its narrow bezel, rounded edges of the display and the back, the phone feels very elegant.

The rear camera module of the Realme Narzo 60 Pro 5G is sure to draw a lot of attention. The imposing design makes it look like it’s loaded with multiple sensors, when in reality it even lacks an all-important ultra-wide camera. The main camera features an optically stabilized 100-megapixel sensor and is accompanied by a 2-megapixel portrait camera. Realistically, you only get one usable camera, which is disappointing. There is a 16-megapixel selfie camera on the front of the phone.
The Realme Narzo 60 Pro 5G uses the same SoC as the Realme 11 Pro series, namely the MediaTek Dimensity 7050. You can read more about its performance in our Realme 11 Pro+ 5G review. The Narzo 60 Pro 5G packs a 5,000mAh battery with 67W SuperVOOC fast charging and comes with Realme UI 4.0 software based on Android 13. The phone also has stereo speakers, but it doesn’t have an official IP rating for dust and water resistance.
The Narzo 60 Pro 5G finds itself in a rather awkward situation within the Realme smartphone family. Given that it’s basically a twin of the 11 Pro 5G, and the base variants of both models are priced exactly the same, there’s really only an incentive to opt for the higher-end options with more RAM and storage. You can also opt for the Realme 11 Pro+ 5G which starts at Rs. 27,999 and has ultra-wide-angle and macro cameras, a much higher-resolution main camera, and faster charging. Now that we’ve reviewed the Narzo 60 Pro 5G, we should have more clarity on which phone to choose. So don’t miss out.
