Ideal Smartphone For Gaming On A Tight Budget REALME NARZO 50 SMARTPHONE TIER: MID Battery Capacity mAh: 5000 Smartphone Battery Performance Overall Score: 46/100 Overall Battery Performance Score: Ranking #64 Mid Tier Ranking: Ranking #8 We have listed what you need to know about the Realme Narzo 50 Overview The Realme Narzo 50, launched in February 2022 offers great value for money. It runs UI 3.0, which is based on Android 12 and has benefited from multiple upgrades and improved technology integrations introduced by Realme. As a result, the Realme Narzo 50 has gained a smoother performance. Being much more responsive when moving between apps, it has enhanced animations and always-on-display. A privacy indicator introduced by Google is included, and additional privacy features are included in the new UI 3.0 as well. The 6.6-inch IPS display on the Realme Narzo 50 with an FHD+ resolution, a 180Hz touch sampling rate and a 120Hz refresh rate provides smooth graphics. Perhaps, a particularly good choice for gamers on a tight budget, it offers a Gaming Mode where you can customise the themes and alerts preferences for your games. Also, all distractions like notifications, calls, and messages can be disabled - often a great plus! At the price, there may be a few limitations. The brightness levels appear to be enough for indoor use for providing natural colours and decent contrast, however, reading the screen in direct sunlight is difficult. This is due to the Realme Narzo 50 having an LCD screen, so the viewing angles are limited, and the colour profiles are less saturated than on standard OLED displays. Having a Kevlar Speed Texture Design (a race car-inspired design), the Realme Narzo 50 is available in Speed Blue and Speed Black. The material pattern on the Realme Narzo 50 is strikingly like that of a OnePlus device. On the rear, there's a carbon fibre-like pattern that looks pretty good in the sunlight. The rest of the aesthetic is substantially like previous Narzo phones. The phone has a side-mounted power button, a fingerprint sensor on the right edge, and a volume rocker and SIM card slot on the left. The bottom section includes a 3.5mm headphone socket, a speaker grille, and a charging port. The three-camera configuration in the back, led by a 50-megapixel f/1.8 lens, produces high-quality photographs suitable for printing and sharing on social media. The front side has a selfie camera lens in the top left corner. Being classified as a Mid Tier ​​(€200-€499), smartphone, Realme has introduced this phone into a competitive arena. If you are looking for a smartphone powered by a Helios G96 processor, up to 6GB of RAM, and a 5000mAh battery, for daily use and gaming, then this mobile phone is an option. However, if you need a high-quality camera and 5G connectivity then perhaps consider an alternative.

What better way to start 2023 - A New ViserMark Label! It has been a very busy year at ViserMark and thank you to all of you who got in touch with feedback on how the labels have helped you understand the battery performance and which device to choose next. We do understand there is a plethora of technical information that often makes it difficult to grasp exactly how this will impact “you” with your day-to-day smartphone usage. For buyers who are looking to purchase a smartphone, the only information available to them is either the battery capacity in milliamp hours or more commonly abbreviated mAh or some endurance score that is based on a very specific usage like standby or talk time. We have also seen over the years that each manufacturer and media have their own way of assessing battery performance considering different criteria and, on some occasions, tests are performed in perfect mobile network conditions which none of us experience. But how long this device will last with real-life usage or how long it will charge? ViserMark was the first label in the world to introduce a clear metric on the Day of Use, meaning how long will this device last tested over the day and night with real-life user activities. We have now further improved the label to give you additional information on how long the device will last in hours for clearer information. Look for the new label in our reviews from January 2023. It is true that mobile phone battery technology has considerably evolved over the years and is continuing to evolve. We still see some manufacturers pursuing to make their mobile phones last longer, simply by increasing the battery life size. The larger battery will use more natural resources and the frequent charging and discharging will further deteriorate the battery. We all now understand that we need to ensure the Smartphone manufacturing industry uses more sustainable methods and is creating products that have minimal impact on the environment. ViserMark was again the first label in the world to create a label that showed the battery energy efficiency of the device. It is calculated using Battery Life and Battery Capacity. This is expressed in “Leaves" and reflects a rating between 1 being the least and 5 being the most power efficient. This year following the feedback we have received and our own involvement in various projects that looked to create policies on Energy Efficiency we will be introducing a new label in 2023 that will show the Annual Energy Consumption measured in kWh. For the first time, end-users will be able to see an objective benchmark across all devices on the expected annual electricity consumption their device is expected to make. We are very keen to hear your feedback regarding these new changes. Make sure you follow us on Social Media and receive our Newsletters to stay up to date with all our latest insights.

It is armed with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 865 5G mobile platform. Asus has left behind the IPS display and has bet for a 90Hz full HD OLED display in the ZenFone 7 model. Like the 6 models, the ZenFone 7 is powered by a 5000 mAh battery with a 30W fast charge technology and comes with a homemade customized Android version, the Android 10 ZenUI 7. The overall Battery Performance Score is now a global score taking calculations from Battery Life, Power Efficiency and Charging Times. From the Asus ZenFone 7 test results, we have given this Smartphone a ViserMark Battery Performance score of 44. The Battery Performance Label being further from 100 indicates that this is not one of the best-performing phones. It has been ranked in 57th place of the best Battery Performance Smartphones as tested by SmartViser. Testing Results BATTERY LIFE - Days of Use Through the ViserMark test protocol, the Asus ZenFone 7 battery almost lasted 40 hours, obtaining a Battery Life Score of 1.5 Days of Use. The average ViserMark Battery Life score of High Tier Smartphones is 1.7 Days of Use. This means that this Battery Life is performing below average, placing the Asus ZenFone 7 lower on the ViserMark Battery Life autonomy ranking. Test Graphics Our testing is based on real smartphone usage from 100% battery level down to Power Off. When testing Smartphones, the testing protocol includes common daily life activities, for instance: Calls, Web, Video and Music streaming, Gaming, Social networks, Picture & Video capture and standby.
