Design & Display

The Realme Narzo N63 has a sleek look and Leather Blue and Twilight Purple vegan leather back options. Outstanding in this price range, the vegan leather back offers a luxury feel and resists fingerprints and smudges. Though they might be very uncomfortable after prolonged usage, the flat edges give the design a modern touch.

Furthermore rare for this price range, the phone boasts IP54 water and dust protection, which offers some peace of mind against unintentional splashes and dust exposure.

Comprising a 6.74-inch IPS display with HD+ resolution (720 x 1600), 560nits peak brightness, and a 90Hz refresh rate, the Realme Narzo N63 Thanks to the high refresh rate, the display is reasonable for indoor use; it provides good viewing angles and smooth scrolling.

Camera

Comprising an 8MP selfie camera with an aperture size of f/2.0 and a 50MP AI back camera with an aperture size of f/1.8, the Realme Narzo N63 In daylight, the back camera performs well taking photographs with good detail and balanced colors. Low-light photography is rare, but; it shows clearly softness and a loss of detail. The selfie camera likewise works satisfactorially in daylight; low-light results are less remarkable with weak edge detection and fuzzy photos.

Here are some relative images with its rivals to offer a clearer viewpoint. For daylight photographs, the Moto G24 Power has somewhat higher dynamic range and details than the Narzo N63; nonetheless, the latter preserves a more natural color rendition. Though the itel P55 maintains shadows better, so adding greater depth to the photographs, the Narzo N63's images show a better dynamic range and warmer color profile in a comparison with PIX. With higher clarity and less noise, the Moto G24 Power and itel P55 shine under low-light circumstances over the Narzo N63. Comparatively to the Infinix Hot 40i, which provides more exact and detailed skin textures, the Narzo N63's selfie camera likewise suffers.

Performance & Software

For daily chores and light gaming, the performance is good; but, occasionally latency results when surfing or running many applications at once. The gadget suffers with graphically demanding games, hence it's advisable to control expectations for gaming performance.

Running on Realme UI based on Android 14, the smartphone presents a neat and easy-to-use interface. Although some pre-installed third-party apps—including some games—they can be deleted if so desired. The ability of the program to let users manage the phone using hand motions—such as swipes up and down to alternate between videos or answering calls with a swipe gesture—allows one of its highlights: air gestures. These motions are really useful in some circumstances and go rather nicely. Further customizing possibilities for the phone come from configuring the power button to carry out various activities. The gadget also features a Riding Mode specifically designed to suppress alerts save for incoming calls, which can be helpful while driving.

For the segment, the phone's 13 hours and 30 minutes on the PCMark battery test are really outstanding.

The Narzo N63 stands out mostly for its 45W SUPERVOOC quick charging capability. About 69 minutes will allow the phone to charge from 20 to 100 percent—much faster than many of its rivals.

Comparos Says

The Realme Narzo N63 finds a niche for itself with its combination of quality style, dependable battery life, and helpful functions; the budget smartphone category is quite competitive. At Rs 8,499, it provides reasonable value for money especially for consumers who give aesthetics and battery performance top priority.

Principal rivals of the Narzo N63 are the Moto G24 Power, itel P55 4G, and Infinix Hot 40i. Every one of these devices has advantages: the itel P55 delivers better onboard RAM capacity and lengthy battery life; the Moto G24 Power has a larger 6000mAh battery and near-stock Android experience; and the Infinix Hot 40i features an outstanding 32MP front camera for its pricing range. Still, the Narzo N63 distinguishes itself with its 45W rapid charging, vegan leather design, and clever Air Gestures and Riding Mode functions.

Although a few things should be taken into account—such as the limited performance with just 4GB of RAM, inadequate brightness for outdoor use, and lack of 5G support—these might not be dealbreakers for entry-level users. Should these features not be important to you, the Realme Narzo N63 is a reasonably priced gadget with great worth.
