Can it be done better? Without a doubt, but there is no room for questions when we think that it can be done cheaper: impossible. Physically, financially and materially It is impossible that the realme Note 70T could be cheaper.
The prosecution presents the case: 6.74-inch screen, UNISOC T7250 microchip, 13 and 5 MP cameras, 4GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The battery is 6,000 mAh and half an hour of charging is enough for a whole day. Its price? €90. No decimals, no fine print: less than 100 euros for a new smartphone.
It is obvious that its main attraction is the price. The manufacturer has positioned this model to be an earthquake in the entry range, offering features that, until recently, were unthinkable for what it costs. Unthinkable or rather impossible.
It promises smooth performance in most use cases: messaging, social networking, browsing, and viewing multimedia content. The battery is one of its great points in favor, not only because of its capacity: realme has been characterized for several years now by paying special attention to its batteries, both in capacity and load (its chargers are among the fastest in the world). In fact, if we wanted to elevate the mobile category, we could buy realme’s 120W charger and have a full battery in less than a shower.
Has a 6.7-inch FHD+ screen with a 120Hz refresh rate. The design shows a modern phone, with very thin edges and a small hole for the front camera. The screen-to-body ratio of 94.3% confirms a premium and very current look. What I said: good, pretty and cheap.
The following question is logical and pertinent: where do you save to be so cheap? The first and obvious thing is the cameras.. The camera system, with a 13MP main sensor, is competent for daytime photos. As with all phones in this segment, it is logical that performance drops significantly in low light conditions.
The body is plastic, something to be expected and totally understandable. The advantage is that it reduces weight, while the disadvantage is that it reduces solidity. It is nice to see, although in hand, there are details that show its price: the bezels are noticeable to the touch and the button panel on the side can be improved.
Taking into account that Most users use headphones, evaluating speaker characteristics does not make much sense and the same goes for the possibility of using it for video games: the most demanding ones will pass you by.
So, the question is: who should buy this mobile? Although it may be counterintuitive, the answer is almost everyone. Considering how much we value our phones and the amount of information we have on them, it is a perfect phone to have as an alternative and make calls, browse the internet and respond to messages. All you need to do is buy a duplicate SIM card.
In case of theft, fall, loss or lack of battery (rare), We will have the “main” one, with which we can take photographs, play demanding video games and multitask.
Verdict: For this price it is a perfect mobile. In fact, It should not be identified as a mobile phone, rather as a “hard drive” that can be used as a smartphone, an insurance policy that prevents us from problems and can also become our children’s first mobile phone (the “rehearsal” one).
