Reports last year suggested three of them similar to the Narzo 20 series phones, the Narzo 30, Narzo 30 Pro, and the Narzo 30A. The series was tipped last year to go official sometime in January, close to the launch of the X7 series, but surprisingly Realme launched nothing in India in January so far.
A new report has said the Narzo 30A and other phones in the series might launch in February. The Narzo 30A has also received certification by the Thailand authority.
The Realme Narzo 30A has appeared on the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) database of Thailand. The smartphone bears the model number RMX3171 and has connectivity up to the LTE network. The same model has been spotted previously on the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS), Indonesian Sertifikasi, and TKDN authorities, which means that the Narzo 30A is not coming to just one market in almost all South Asian markets where Realme operates. But none of these certification listings provides the specifications or features of the Narzo 30A, which is a bummer.
The Narzo 30A will bring upgrades over last year’s Narzo 20A but how spruced-up the specifications on the former will be is unclear at the moment. The Narzo 20A comes with a 6.5-inch 720p LCD with a teardrop-style notch. It is powered by an octa-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor with up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of onboard storage. There is a microSD card slot for expanding storage up to 256GB, and the smartphone runs Android 10-based Realme UI. At its back, there is a combination of a 12MP primary sensor, a 2MP monochrome sensor, and a 2MP retro sensor. Realme Narzo 20A features an 8MP camera at the front for selfies and video calls. A 5000mAh battery backs Realme Narzo 20A.
About the price, the Narzo 20A was launched for Rs 8,499 onwards last year. This would mean the Narzo 30A will cost somewhere around Rs 9,000 as and when it is launched. Realme is known for pricing its products aggressively in the market, and its biggest competitor is Redmi in this price segment. The Realme Narzo 20 series was pitted against the Redmi 9 series. However, the latter has four models under it as compared to three from Realme. There is nothing about the Redmi 10 series but Realme may already be close to launching the Narzo 30 series in multiple markets to seize the customer base.
Realme has announced it will launch the X7 and X7 Pro 5G smartphones in India on February 4. The announcement comes around two months later after Realme India boss Madhav Sheth confirmed the X7 series would arrive in India.
