The realme narzo 30A is the second installment of the popular smartphone sub-brand in the Philippines. You may have heard of its predecessor, the narzo 20, which has captured a major pie in the entry-level gaming scene. realme is taking advantage of that momentum by releasing the new narzo 30A for gaming enthusiasts and all-around users in general. Join me in unboxing the realme narzo 30A, and share important deets, as well as my impressions about this new smartphone in the market.

The realme narzo 30A is a stunner with its new bright-blue box, white "narzo branding" and realme logo. The package is a slide-thru box which gives off youthful vibes. Once opened, you'll be greeted by the realme narzo 30A, a small box with some documentation, the USB Type C cable, the power brick, and SIM tray ejector. It's worth noting that earphones are not included in the box; but for a sub Php 10K price, I think you'll get more than your money's worth with this smartphone.

Design

The realme Narzo 30A dons a colorful design. Our Laser Blue review unit exudes youthful appeal and it could definitely catch some attention when you use it in the wild. Its vibrant teal colorway is pleasing to the eyes. realme is also known for pushing boundaries when it comes to design. Though still polycarbonate, the backing comes with a unique dual textured design. This reminds me of the Google Pixel smartphones.

One thirds of the chassis covers a matte finish, this section occupies the upper end of the phone. This area frames the fingerprint sensor, the narzo branding, and the dual-rear camera. The lower two-thirds of the handset features diagonal patterns with a slightly textured feel. This allows you to have more grip on the smartphone.

Ports and Buttons: Hello USB Type C!

For a smartphone that packs a 6000 mAh battery, the realme narzo 30A is not that thick. It's also not that heavy. Handling the smartphone is easy with its curved back and rounded edges.

It's also a breath of fresh air to know that the realme narzo 30A is generous enough to include a USB Type C port. This means that it supports fast charging.

The rest of the sides come with pretty standard button and port placements. The power button and the volume rocker are on the right side, while the triple-slotted SIM tray is positioned on the left side. Joining the Type C port at the bottom are the speaker grill, 3.5-mm audio jack, and microphone.

Display and Hardware

The realme narzo 30A features a 6.5-inch Mini Drop Fullscreen display with 720 x 1600 pixels. In my initial usage, the display is quite good despite the fact that it comes with an HD+ resolution. realme is known to use high-quality LCD display, so I guess we can also experience it here with the narzo 30A.
