Realme Narzo N53

The Realme Narzo N53 has been launched as the company’s new budget immolation. It sits below the recently launched Narzo N55, which is a rebadged interpretation of the Realme C55(review). The new Narzo N53 borrows the’ mini capsule point from its elder stock, which is Realme’s take on the iPhone 14 Pro’s(review) dynamic islet perpetration. The N53 also seems to have taken some design cues from Apple’s flagship phone. The Realme Narzo N53 is one of the many recent budget smartphones under Rs. 10,000 in India that looks like it could be worth more than it actually costs. The altitudinous display is good enough for multimedia viewing and social media use. You also get good battery life and a fairly quick charging experience. I like the frontal camera’s performance, which is one of the most stylish I have used in the member. I also set up the in-hand sense to be good, although the gold color is too loud for my taste. Software is one major area where the phone loses some points. You get the basics of Android 13, but the bloatware apps, coupled with advertisements, hinder the operating experience.

 Moto E13

Smartphones are becoming more costly each year, and there seems to be no end to it. With the escalating expenses of components and major brands shifting their focus towards high-end smartphones, there exists a void in the entry-level segment within India. Motorola, which had a bustling 2022 with the introduction of numerous G-series and E-series phones in India, is endeavoring to fill that void with the unveiling of the Moto E13. The Moto E13 stands as the most economical phone released by the company in India to date. Its objective is to ensure the fundamentals are well achieved while still maintaining an affordable price point. The Moto E13 strives to excel at the basics. It boasts a rather sizable display, an ergonomic design, and a large battery. Additionally, the inclusion of dual-band Wi-Fi and a USB Type-C port at this price range is a noteworthy advantage. The phone’s performance unit also delivers commendable results considering its price, particularly when other devices equipped with the same system-on-a-chip are priced at least Rs. 1,000 higher. To top it all off, the Moto E13 offers the latest Android 13 software, albeit in a simplified version. However, the camera’s performance could have been improved. For individuals seeking a budget-friendly smartphone under Rs. 8,000 that fulfills all essential tasks and provides a clean, near-stock Android experience, the Moto E13 is definitely worth considering.

Motorola has recently unveiled the Moto E13 in India, presenting a generous storage capacity of 64 gigabytes and a random access memory (RAM) of 2 gigabytes. This specific model is being offered at a cost of Rs. 6,999. Furthermore, there exists an alternative choice featuring an elevated RAM of 4 gigabytes while maintaining the identical storage capacity of 64 gigabytes. This option is priced slightly higher at Rs. 7,999. For the sake of conducting this evaluation, Motorola graciously equipped us with their premium-tier variant.

 

Design of the Realme Narzo N53

The Realme Narzo N53 has a flat frame and hinder panel, which has been the trend followed by most smartphones over the past few months. The phone’s camera module also bears an uncanny resemblance to Apple’s Pro iPhone lineup. It might be purposeful, and it does make the Narzo N53 look like a slightly more precious phone. The device is also relatively featherlight at about 182g. Also, the slim form factor adds to a good in-hand sense. Realme claims that the Narzo N53 is its slimmest smartphone to date at 7.49 mm. Does it bend? Well, I didn’t do any extreme tests on the phone, but applying a little pressure on the aft panel didn’t show any signs of flex, which is good. I’ve got the Feather Gold color of the Narzo N53, which produces tones of gold, unheroic, pink, and blue when you look at the aft panel at different angles. This was a bit flashy for me, and I would rather prefer the Feather Black color. The one advantage of the gold color option is that the bright colors help hide fingerprints very well.

Design of the Moto E13

The Moto E13 follows the flat-frame design trend that most smartphones tend to sport these days. The frame, like the twisted hinder panel, is made of plastic. Motorola has tried giving the phone an ultra-expensive look with a frosted finish, which I really liked. I’ve got the sunup herbage color, but if you want a further classic look, there are cosmic black and creamy white color options as well. The phone is also relatively light in the hand, at under 180g. It isn’t the slimmest phone out there, but at 8.47 mm, I would not complain. This consistency also means there is room for a 3.5 mm headphone jack at the top edge and a big battery.

 

Display of Realme Narzo N53

On the front, the Realme Narzo N53 has an 8.74-inch IPS TV display with an HD resolution and a 90 Hz refresh rate. I would have liked to see a full-HD resolution display, but it’s fine for its members. Text and images displayed on the screen aren’t veritably sharp, which is indeed more conspicuous due to the large size of the display. The phone has a bitchy, waterdrop-style notch for the frontal camera. While the side bezels are fairly narrow, the chin is on the thicker side. The altitudinous screen is ideal for scrolling through social media or indeed consuming videotape content. The phone also supports Widevine L3 DRM, which means videotape streaming support via OTT apps up to HD resolution only. The display is bright enough for indoor use, but when outside and under harsh sunlight, it can be delicate to see your content with the brightness maxed out. The touch response of the display is relatively good. The Realme Narzo N53 features a single speaker at the bottom, which is fairly loud and produces good-quality sound for the price. There’s a side-mounted point scanner, which is easy to reach and quick to authenticate.

 

Display of the Moto E13

On the front, the Moto E13 sports a 6.5-inch IPS TV display with a HD( 1600 x 720 pixels) resolution and a 60Hz refresh rate, which is fairly standard for smartphones in this price range. The screen brilliance shouldn’t be a problem when using the phone indoors, but it still needs to be maxed out when using it outside and under the sun. Thankfully, the ambient light detector does a fairly good job of automatically adjusting the brightness as demanded. The colors reproduced by the Moto E13’s display are obviously not as rich or pictorial as you would witness on AMOLED panels, but they’re serviceable. The device also has a WideVine L3 instrument for SD videotape playback from streaming apps similar to Netflix. There’s a single bottom-firing speaker, which is fairly loud. Considering that the phone is targeted at buyers who are also first-time smartphone druggies or former point phone druggies, the E13 should be good enough for introductory multimedia consumption. The Moto E13 has an IP52 rating, which stands for introductory splash resistance against water and dust. There’s no point scanner, which is a commodity that can be set up in druthers like the Redmi A1.

 

Specification and Software of Realme Narzo N53

The Realme Narzo N53 features a Unisoc T612 4G SoC, which is grounded on a 12nm fabrication process. The device packs a 5,000 mAh battery despite sporting a fairly slim frame. There’s support for 33W SuperVOOC fast charging, and the internal storage is expandable by over 2 TB via a microSD card. The software also supports extended RAM of over 6 GB.

In terms of software, the Realme Narzo N53 thrills Android 13-rooted Realme UI T-edition. The software is a divergent interpretation of Realme UI 4.0 that’s concentrated on budget smartphones. The T-edition of Realme UI skips on some customization options similar to fountain size, app icon shape and size, etc. Still, you do get the option to change the wallpaper and also match the system UI and icon colors with those of the wallpaper. There’s support for Android’s sequestration dashboard, authorization director, and sequestration pointers for apps that use the camera or microphone. There’s bloatware and plenitude of it. In our Realme 10 Pro 5G review, we did punctuate the app recommendation issue where we saw Hot Apps and Hot Games recommending unhappy apps. While the company has fixed that, the new Realme T-Edition now has dynamic advertisements across the UI. Be it downloading apps from the Play Store or simply opening the app hole, you’ll be saluted with app recommendations from the native App Request app. In comparison, some of the competition offers a far cleaner and much less protrusive software experience.

Specification and Software of the Moto E13

The Moto E13 draws power from a UniSoc T606 chipset. The 12nm SoC is paired with over 4 GB of RAM but lacks support for 5G networks. There’s a 5,000 mAh battery with support for 10W charging via a USB Type-C port. The phone offers connectivity features similar to Bluetooth 5.0, binary-band Wi-Fi, FM radio, a 3.5 mm headphone jack, and a binary-SIM charger. There’s a niche for a microSD card, which can expand the internal storage up to 1 TB.

In terms of software, the Moto E13 runs on Android 13( Go Edition) out of the box. There’s the MyUX skin on top of Android. Motorola is known to offer a clean software experience with MyUx, which adds enough customization and personalization options. There’s support for a couple of Moto gestures for flash and screenshots. The phone doesn’t offer the full suite of options that you get in other Motorola handsets that run the standard interpretation of Android, but the important sequestration-centric features handed down by Google in Android 13 are available. You get visual pointers for the camera and microphone index at the top right of the display whenever an app uses them. You are also advised when an app is in the background. The Moto E13 does come with many third-party apps preinstalled, such as ShareChat and Moj, which is a commodity not generally seen in other Motorola phones.

 

Camera of Realme Narzo N53

The Realme Narzo N53 has a binary camera setup on the reverse with a 50-megapixel primary and a 2-megapixel depth detector. For selfies, the phone features an 8-megapixel frontal camera. The primary camera’s performance is decent when it comes to colors. Still, pinch and drone with heft, and you’ll notice some soft details. The software tries to fix the dynamic range in HDR shots, but the overall effect feels heavily reused rather than natural. The same is the case with low-light prints, where the software bumps up the exposure to boost the image, but the images aren’t as sharp and have noise in the murk.

The frontal camera, unexpectedly, does a fairly good job. Previously again, I felt the software processing was to be credited, as it got the background blur correct in most cases when landing selfies in portrayal mode. The software did blur out my earphones in one of the images below, but it got the color of my skin nearly directly. In terms of videotape recording, the Narzo N53 can record up to 1080p (30 fps) videos without any form of electronic stabilization. While the hinder camera gets the colors nearly right, it struggles with highlight control and blows out bright backgrounds when shooting during the day. The same is the case with the frontal camera, which also does not capture accurate skin tones when recording videotape.

Camera of the Moto E13

The Moto E13 has a 13-megapixel single-lens camera detector with an LED flash on the reverse. For selfies, the waterdrop notch in the display has a 5-megapixel frontal camera. The hinder camera is a megahit or miss when it comes to getting a decent image. At times, it overused the highlights or crushed the murk while trying to expose the subject well. When it does get the colors right, the highlights are sort of blown out. Night mode is available only in the 4 GB RAM variant of the Moto E13, and it does a decent job when it comes to overall exposure. Still, the details are soft, and there’s conspicuous noise in the murk.

It’s the same case with the frontal camera, which indeed has worse dynamic range. Edge discovery works well in most cases, and the blur looks fairly natural too. But again, considering the price, the phone’s camera performance is respectable. In terms of videotape, the Moto E13 can shoot 1080p 30 fps videos using the front and rear cameras. The overall videotape performance is just average. The camera exposes the subject well, but the dynamic range performance is poor.

 

Performance and Battery Life of Realme Narzo N53

The Realme Narzo N53’s entry-level SoC is capable enough of handling routine tasks, but play many heavy games, and its limitations become apparent. In Call of Duty Mobile, there were frequent stutters in the gameplay; although Asphalt 9 Legends fared slightly better, there was still a bit of pause when the action got violent. Lighter games similar to Subway Surfer and Candy Crush ran easily. In the AnTuTu standard, the Realme Narzo N53 scored points, which was lower than the Realme C55’s score of points. In Geekbench 6, the device scored 408 points in the single-core test and 1,462 points in the multi-core test.

The Realme Narzo N53 offers more than a day’s worth of battery life on a single charge. I ended up with about 30 percent of my battery left after playing games, scrolling through social media, etc. during the day. In our HD videotape battery circle test, the phone lasted for 17 hours and 26 twinkles, which is relatively good. The 33W whisked bowl can charge the Narzo N53 completely in about an hour and 45 twinkles. The mini capsule point on the N53 is presently only used to show the charging status. When plugged in, the area around the water drop notch expands to an important, wider notch to show the charging information and retracts. It’s relatively gimmicky but still a commodity unique to the member.

Performance and battery life of the Moto E13

When it comes to handling day-to-day tasks, the Moto E13 does a good job. The 4 GB interpretation that we tested had no trouble switching between apps or loading them snappily. The phone could handle routine tasks relatively well. There were many cases when apps would take a second or two to load, and I did notice some stutter across the UI, especially when going back to the home screen. My conjecture is that the 2 GB RAM variant would presumably not offer the smoothest experience, so if you’re considering getting this phone, you should immaculately consider the 4 GB variant. While the Moto E13 isn’t targeted at gamers, I did try Call of Duty Mobile and Subway Browser on the phone. While the ultimate game was relatively easy and smooth to play, Call of Duty Mobile plodded along and ran well, as anticipated. To be fair, the phone isn’t designed to run this kind of game at all.

I performed many standard tests as well. The Moto E13 scored points on AnTuTu, and in Geekbench 6, the device scored 376 and 1,354 points in the single-core and multi-core tests, respectively. The battery life is also relatively decent on the Moto E13. The phone can last a day on a full charge. In our HD videotape battery circle test, the phone lasted for 15 hours and 54 twinkles. The E13 takes about a couple of hours to charge completely from empty using the 10W bowl.
