PHILIPPINES – narzo, the latest game changer in the Philippine smartphone market, arrives in full swing as a standalone brand by introducing two new disruptors of the entry-level and mid-range segment: the narzo 50 5G and the narzo 50 Pro 5G. Its local debut via Facebook and LazLive on July 14 marks the very first time that narzo separates from realme as its own unique entity, making narzo Philippines a trailblazer in Southeast Asia.
The official launch of narzo PH and its two new 5G models is also complemented by offline and online availability nationwide, in a daring effort to provide cutting-edge technology to all Filipinos at an accessible price, wherever they may be. narzo PH aims to equip its users with all-rounder smartphones that offer the best value for money—fast and powerful digital companions that they can rely on for years to come.
“What started out as a vision is now becoming a reality,” explains Allen Yin, Country Manager for narzo Philippines. “The entire narzo team intends to follow through on our brand’s promise of empowering Filipinos with technology. To do that, we’ll establish home bases at 200 locations by the end of this year, on top of e-commerce efforts.”
The fastest newcomer on the block: narzo 50 Pro 5G
The narzo 50 Pro 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 920 5G Processor, which uses the latest TSMC 6nm Octa-Core node to assure power efficiency. It can boost to a clock speed of 2.5GHz, ensuring faster app response, enhanced gaming experience, and better connection. Additionally, the Arm Mali-G68 GPU overclocks the GPU frequency and improves performance by up to 9% versus its predecessor—making it one of the fastest in its price segment. This is further complemented by Dynamic RAM Expansion (DRE) of up to 5GB additional Dynamic RAM for even the most hardware-intensive games.
The bane of speed is often overheating, luckily it comes equipped with a five-layer cooling system that provides up to 10 C temperature reduction in the core area. This industry-leading Vapor Chamber Cooling System uses three-layer graphite sheets that effectively insulate the heat conduction and avoid hot spots in the z-direction, in turn guiding the heat dissipation in the XY-plane.
Its 6.4-inch Super AMOLED display comes with a 90Hz refresh rate and 360Hz touch sampling rate, ensuring each swipe is smooth and seamless. Take it to the great outdoors, as the screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 5, and the dual stereo speakers from Dolby Atmos provide louder and more immersive sound, even when outside.
At the back, the narzo 50 Pro 5G also allows for impressive photography with its 48MP Triple Camera Setup, with a 48MP main camera, an 8MP super-wide angle camera at 120 degrees, and a 4cm Macro lens.
It also features a new generation in-display fingerprint scanner with a Heart Rate Sensor, enabling users to not only rapidly unlock their smartphones but also to keep track of their health. It will be available in two colors inspired by Kevlar: Hyper Blue and Hyper Black.
Jam packed with all-rounder features: narzo 50 5G
The narzo 50 5G is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 810 5G processor that can clock up to 2.4GHz, and also comes with DRE of up to 5GB Dynamic RAM. It has a 6.6-inch FHD+ Ultra Smooth Display that ensures there are no lags or stutters when playing games, and a 90.7% screen-to-body ratio that gives a more immersive watching experience with its thin bezels.
It packs a 48MP Nightscape Main Camera equipped with specialized night filters so users can capture high resolution photos even in low light situations. In terms of audio, it comes with Dual Stereo Speakers that have been given a Hi-res gold certification.
Inside the sturdy and stylish Kevlar-inspired shell, the narzo 50 5G sports a 5000mAh Massive Battery with 33W Dart Charge that can juice up your device from zero to a hundred in just 72 minutes. It has a Super Power Saving Mode that can reduce power consumption to prolong battery life even at just 5% remaining. It also features the Smart 5G Power Saving Technology, which senses the surrounding signal environment and intelligently switches between 4G and 5G, allowing the reduction of the smartphone’s power consumption by up to 30%.
Its large 128GB built-in memory can be expanded with up to 1TB of external MicroSD storage. Similarly, it will also be available in two colors: Hyper Blue and Hyper Black.

narzo supports the game changing realme partnership with RSG PH, local esports talent
narzo could not have been launched on a more opportune timing, as realme and narzo are supporting RSG Philippines through a new partnership that was announced on the same day. The RSG Philippines esports team have proven themselves to be game changers by reigning supreme in last June’s Mobile Legends Southeast Asia Cup (MSC).
This sponsorship is another progressive step for both realme and narzo’s advocacy of supporting the local esports scene and nurturing up-and-coming grassroots talent, giving players an avenue to shine in the global arena.
To commemorate the momentous occasion, RSG Philippines’ active roster of Mobile Legends champs attended the July 14 launch alongside key executives, which served as their first public appearance as knights flying the realme banner.
The Mobile Legends: Bang Bang Professional League (MPL) 2022 continues this September, and will surely prove to be one of its most exhilarating seasons yet, as realme RSG Philippines is slated to defend their title against returning superstars OhMyV33NUS and Wise.
