Realme Note 60 128GB

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Realme Note 60 128GB at Rs 28,999 balances design and function in a slim 7.8 mm body that sits comfortably in pockets and hands. The Unisoc T612 processor is a 12 nm chip that handles social media, browsing, and video streaming without trouble, though it is not a gaming processor — expect sluggish frame rates in demanding titles. The 6.74-inch display at 260 PPI with 560-nit HBM brightness is a genuine strength: that brightness rating means the screen stays readable under the midday Pakistani sun, which is a practical advantage over phones with lower brightness ratings. With 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, the configuration is balanced for moderate users. The 32 MP main camera with PDAF captures detailed daylight photos, and the wide f/1.8 aperture allows more light to reach the sensor, improving indoor and low-light performance compared to f/2.2 lenses. The 5 MP selfie camera is basic. The 5000 mAh battery provides standard all-day endurance. This phone is best for buyers who want a slim, outdoor-friendly phone with a capable main camera. The Samsung Galaxy A05 at Rs 24,999 is Rs 4,000 cheaper and counters with a faster Helio G85 processor, 25 W fast charging, and Samsung's brand recognition. The Galaxy A05's 50 MP main camera also captures more detail than the Note 60's 32 MP sensor, though the Realme's f/1.8 aperture and PDAF provide more consistently focused and brighter images in dim conditions — the Samsung's wider f/1.8 lens is matched, but PDAF is a focusing advantage. The Note 60's 560-nit HBM brightness ensures better outdoor visibility than the A05's unspecified brightness rating. Storage and RAM are tied at 128 GB and 4 GB respectively. The A05's 25 W charging is a meaningful convenience: it fills the battery roughly twice as fast as the standard chargers included with the Realme. For buyers who prioritise outdoor screen readability and slim design, the Realme Note 60 delivers; those who want faster charging and a stronger processor at a lower price will find the Galaxy A05 more practical.
