Price, specifications, pros and cons (Realme Note 80)

What Are the Pros and Cons of the Realme Note 80?

Pros

• A huge battery is the standout strength: a 6300mAh battery with 15W wired charging, and Realme claims it maintains 80% of its health even after 4 years of daily use, easily lasting more than a day.
• A durable, relatively slim design: MIL-STD-810H military compliance and ArmorShell protection withstanding drops from up to 1.8 meters, and IP54 dust and water splash resistance, in a body just 7.94mm thick and 197 grams.
• A good refresh rate display for its class: a 6.74-inch IPS LCD panel with a 90Hz refresh rate and a 180Hz touch sampling rate, protected by Panda Glass, making scrolling smoother than 60Hz screens.
• Practical perks: a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSD card slot for storage expansion, a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, Realme UI based on Android 15, and a very budget price starting at around $115.

Cons

• Screen resolution is very low: just 720 x 1600 pixels (HD+), and it is an IPS LCD rather than AMOLED, with modest brightness of 563 nits (peak).
• 4G-only: the device supports only 4G networks with no 5G, and no NFC (no contactless payments). And the chipset is entry-level: the Unisoc T7250, with relatively slow eMMC 5.1 storage.
• A very basic camera: a single 8MP rear camera with no ultrawide or telephoto, video limited to 1080p, and a 5MP front camera.
• Slow charging and limited RAM: just 15W, and 4GB RAM across all versions. And users in the comments noted it is nearly identical to its predecessor, the Note 70, with no notable upgrade.
