• Rear: 50MP Sony camera+ 2MP depth + flicker sensor

The Realme Narzo 70 Turbo features a user-friendly camera app with multiple modes, including Photo, Night, Portrait, and Professional. The camera setup of this phone is decent for its price point, but it’s not the phone’s main focus. One drawback of in the camera department is that it lacks support for optical image stabilization.

It features a 50-megapixel AI main camera and a 2-megapixel depth lens. The main camera captures satisfactory daylight shots with good detail, sharpness, and dynamic range, though colors are slightly boosted. In low light, images are softer and lack the same level of detail. Portrait shots exhibit good edge detection and preserve skin texture, but color balance can be slightly off and there’s no support for 2x zoom.

The 16-megapixel front camera produces decent selfies with accurate skin tones, though skin texture appears smoothed out at times. Nighttime selfies are acceptable only when there is sufficient light. Video recording is adequate, with support for up to 4K at 30fps. However, the lack of OIS means video stability is not ideal.

The Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G includes several notable features. It has an in-screen fingerprint sensor, although its placement is a bit low; it shouldn’t be a major concern for most users. In the software department, there are some nice additions like Flash Capsule for notifications around the front camera area, Air Gestures for touch-free control, and Riding Mode for easier navigation while riding a bike. Additionally, the phone offers Free Calls, allowing users to make calls over Bluetooth when there is no network coverage. The rainwater touch feature works flawlessly, making it a very usable feature during the rainy season.

Its strengths lie in affordable pricing, powerful processor, vibrant display, long battery life, and fast charging capabilities.
