Realme has expanded its budget lineup with the launch of the Note 80 in select Southeast Asian markets. The new device targets entry-level buyers who want a large display and long battery life without spending much.
The Realme Note 80 features a 6.74-inch LCD with HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. As a result, scrolling feels smoother than standard 60Hz panels. The screen also reaches 563 nits of peak brightness in high brightness mode. In addition, it supports a 180Hz touch sampling rate for quicker response during daily use.
The phone runs on the Unisoc T7250 chipset paired with a Mali G57 GPU. Realme offers up to 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of EMMC 5.1 internal storage. Moreover, users can expand storage through a microSD card slot.
On the back, the Note 80 carries a single 8MP camera with an f/2.0 aperture and autofocus. For selfies, Realme includes a 5MP front camera placed inside a waterdrop notch. While the camera setup is simple, it covers basic photography needs.
Battery life stands out as a key highlight. The device packs a large 6,300mAh battery that supports 15W wired charging. This should easily last a full day for most users.
The phone also includes a side-mounted fingerprint scanner for security. It supports dual SIM with 4G connectivity, along with Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.2. Buyers also get a 3.5mm headphone jack and GPS support.
Realme offers the Note 80 in Glacier Blue and Storm Black. The device measures 7.94mm in thickness and weighs about 197g. In Thailand, pricing starts at THB 3,599, which is around $115, for the 4GB/64GB variant.
