After its initial debut in Southeast Asian markets a few months ago, the budget-focused Realme Note 80 has officially arrived in Nepal. Designed as a practical entry-level smartphone, this device centers around military-grade durability, extended battery performance, and essential daily functionality.
Design and Build Quality
The Realme Note 80 arrives in two colorways: Glacier Blue and Storm Black. It features a sleek flat-frame design measuring 7.94mm in thickness and weighing 197g. Durability is a key selling point, as the device boasts MIL-STD-810H certification alongside ArmorShell protection, engineered to survive drops from heights up to 1.8 meters. It is also rated IP54 for protection against dust and minor water splashes.
For functionality, the smartphone offers a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, face unlock capability, a 3.5mm audio jack, a waterdrop notch for the front camera, and a microSD card slot for expandable storage.
Display Specifications
Up front, the Note 80 carries a 6.74-inch LCD panel with an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels and a 260 PPI pixel density, a standard trade-off for budget devices like the Realme C83 5G. It supports a smooth 90Hz refresh rate, a default touch sampling rate of 120Hz (up to 180Hz peak), and a maximum brightness of 563 nits in High Brightness Mode alongside a typical brightness of 450 nits. Screen protection is handled by Corning Glass together with a Panda MN228 layer.
Performance and Software
Powering the device is an entry-level octa-core Unisoc T7250 processor paired with a Mali-G57 GPU. Built for standard daily activities like browsing, messaging, calls, and streaming, it handles routine tasks well, though heavy gaming will reach its limits. The phone comes equipped with 4GB LPDDR4X RAM and storage options of 64GB or 128GB eMMC 5.1. It runs Realme UI based on Android 15. The device is essentially a tweaked, repackaged version of the Narzo 80 Lite 4G that launched in India last year.
Camera and Battery
For photography, there is a single 8MP rear camera with an f/2.0 aperture, autofocus, and an LED flash. It captures video up to 1080p at 30fps and supports modes such as Night, Portrait, Panorama, Dual-view video, and Google Lens. A 5MP camera on the front handles selfies.
Battery life is provided by a substantial 6,300mAh capacity that supports 15W wired charging. Realme claims the battery can retain at least 80% of its health after four years of regular use.
Price and Availability in Nepal
The official price of the Realme Note 80 in Nepal is set at NPR 23,999 for the sole 4GB RAM and 64GB storage variant. It is available for purchase across official Realme-authorized retail channels throughout the country.
