According to the leaks, the Realme Narzo 50 5G will feature a striped design on the rear panel. At the top, there's a rectangular camera setup housing dual lenses and a dual-LED flash. The front side can display a punch-hole cutout at the top left corner. Realme claims that the phone will feature the "fastest 5G processor in the segment” and the “best cooling technology.”

At the front, Realme Narzo 50 5G is likely to flaunt a 6.58-inch AMOLED display. The panel can support an FHD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. A 4,800 mAh battery may keep the screen brightened up with a 33W fast charging support.

Under the hood, a MediaTek Dimensity 810 chipset is tipped to power the Realme Narzo 50 5G. The device might arrive in two storage configurations of 4GB/ 64GB and 6GB/ 128GB. On the software front, it is expected to run Android 12 out of the box along with a layer of Realme UI 3.0 on top.

In the optics department, the Realme Narzo 50 5G will presumably carry a 13MP primary sensor and a 2MP secondary lens on the rear side. Unfortunately, the capacity of the front camera is not a part leaks.

With the approaching time, we can expect the company to divulge more about the upcoming Realme Narzo 50 5G.

Coming forth to the Realme Narzo 50 Pro 5G, it visited the NBTC website with model number RMX3396. As the name suggests, the phone is an addition to the Narzo 50 series.
