Realme India will launch the Narzo 80 Pro on April 9, featuring the Dimensity 7400 chipset, touted as the “fastest gaming chipset under 20K.” It includes a vapor chamber for cooling, although claims of a 20°C temperature drop seem exaggerated. The device sports a bright 4,500 nits peak display, a 120Hz refresh rate, and a 6,000mAh battery, enabling 12 hours of gaming and over 18 hours of video playback. With 80W fast charging, users can achieve 3 hours of playtime in just 10 minutes. Additionally, the Narzo 80x will also debut the same day, targeting a budget-friendly segment.
Realme India has scheduled the official launch of the Narzo 80 Pro for April 9, which falls on Wednesday next week. The company has, however, shared additional insights regarding the device, particularly its focus on gaming.
As indicated last week, the Realme Narzo 80 Pro will be powered by the Dimensity 7400 chipset. Realme touts it as the “most advanced and rapid gaming chipset priced under 20K.” The chipset features a vapor chamber for cooling, which spans 6,050mm²; promotional materials claim a 20°C reduction in temperature, although that seems overly optimistic and likely a misprint (we lean towards a 2°C drop).

The device also comes with an exceptionally bright display of 4,500 nits (peak) – a curved screen featuring 3,840Hz high-frequency PWM dimming. It operates at 120Hz and includes a 2,500Hz instantaneous touch sampling rate. The phone aims for a target of 90fps for BGMI gaming.

The Realme Narzo 80 Pro also emphasizes battery life with a 6,000mAh capacity. It is expected to last nearly 12 hours during BGMI gameplay, and over 18 hours when streaming YouTube on a single charge.
With 80W fast charging, just 10 minutes of charging can provide up to 3 hours of gameplay. Alternatively, you can play while plugged in using bypass charging, which is gentler on the battery and reduces heat generation.
Measuring 7.55mm thick and weighing 179g, Realme has successfully minimized the bulk compared to the Narzo 70 Pro, which was 8mm thick and weighed 195g.

Additionally, there is a landing page for the Realme Narzo 80x, which will be priced “under 13K” and equipped with the Dimensity 6400 chipset. The 80x is also set to be unveiled on April 9.
This model also boasts a 6,000mAh battery, capable of supporting nearly 13 hours of Candy Crush Saga gameplay. However, its maximum charging rate is limited to 45W. Notably, the 80x is thicker and heavier than the 80 Pro, at 7.94mm and 197g, respectively.
