Well, even though it is the most affordable, the realme narzo 50i is still supported with qualified specifications for playing games.
key Features of realme narzo 50i
Design
The realme narzo 50i review comes with a new design. This smartphone carries a typical street style design with an authentic diagonal stripe on the back cover so that the smartphone is easily recognizable. Further, the back of the diagonal line also makes the smartphone not slippery when held. The back also doesn't seem to leave finger marks, like a smartphone wrapped in plastic on the back.

Display and Operating System
Now, let's see the realme narzo 50i's screen part. It is equipped with a 6.5-inch massive display screen with an 88.7% Screen-to-body ratio. Nevertheless, with the 6.5-inch display, this device is big like the ancestors. Hence, the gaming experience becomes more enjoyable.

The mini-drop area is now reduced and provides a screen ratio of up to 88.7 percent, allowing users to reduce the visual experience.
In addition, the bezel adopted on this smartphone also doesn't look too big. As a result, the viewing area of the screen becomes even larger. In my experience, the realme narzo 50i screen produces sharp colors. The screen resembles one of the best gaming smartphones, which is also very responsive.
Let's focus on the operating system; being one of the affordable best gaming smartphones, the realme narzo 50i is equipped with the realme UI Go Edition based on Android 11. Even though it uses the realme UI Go Edition, the interface is very easy to operate and not too heavy.
