A new leak has revealed almost everything about the upcoming Realme Note 80 — and it looks like the phone could launch on March 5. Interestingly, this is the same day the Nothing Phone (4a) series is expected to debut.
While the leak shared many details, one thing is still missing: the official price. Let’s break down everything we know so far in simple and easy terms.
Familiar Design with a Creative Twist
If you’ve seen the Realme Note 50, the Note 80 will look very similar. Realme appears to have reused that design with a few small changes.
The most interesting part? The camera lenses are arranged to look like the numbers “8” and “0” — a clever nod to the phone’s name.
6.74-inch Display with 90Hz Refresh Rate
The Realme Note 80 comes with a large 6.74-inch IPS LCD display. While it’s not an AMOLED screen, it still offers:
-
90Hz refresh rate for smoother scrolling
-
563 nits brightness
-
ArmorShell protection
-
Drop resistance up to 1.8 meters
The display should provide a decent viewing experience for daily use like social media, videos, and browsing.
Splashproof Build with IP54 Rating
The phone has an IP54 rating, which means it can handle dust and light splashes. It also supports a special wet-hand touch feature, so you can use the screen even if your fingers are slightly wet.
That’s a nice bonus at this price level!
Entry-Level Performance (Around 390,000 AnTuTu Score)
The leak mentions an octa-core processor scoring about 390,000 on AnTuTu. While the exact chipset name wasn’t confirmed, it could be the Unisoc T7250.
This suggests the Note 80 is built for everyday tasks like:
-
Calling and messaging
-
Social media apps
-
Light gaming
-
Streaming videos
It’s not a powerhouse, but it should be fine for basic users.
AI Features Included
Even as a budget device, the Realme Note 80 includes several AI tools:
-
AI Image Matting
-
AI Clear Face
-
AI Eraser
These features can help improve photos and edit images easily.
Massive 6300mAh Battery – Big Highlight!
Here’s the most exciting part — the Realme Note 80 packs a huge 6300mAh battery!
Despite being only 7.94mm thin, the phone promises:
-
Up to 1.5 days of regular use
-
Battery health above 80% even after 4 years
That’s impressive for a budget smartphone.
The only downside? It supports just 15W charging, so charging times may be slow.
Basic Cameras – Don’t Expect Much
The camera setup is quite simple:
-
8MP main rear camera
-
5MP front selfie camera
These cameras should be okay for casual photos and video calls, but don’t expect high-end photography.
Expected Price – Around $100?
The leak did not confirm the price. However, previous Realme Note devices usually cost around $100, so we expect the Note 80 to stay in that range.
If that happens, it could be a solid choice for users looking for a big battery phone at a very affordable price.
Final Thoughts
The Realme Note 80 looks like a budget-friendly smartphone with:
- Big 6.74-inch display
- Smooth 90Hz refresh rate
- Massive 6300mAh battery
- Splash-resistant build
- AI photo features
- While the cameras and charging speed are basic, the overall package seems good for the price.
Now, all eyes are on March 5 for the official launch. Stay tuned for more updates!
