Aluminium Die-Cast Structure for Durability
Other features of the upgraded model remain unchanged, including the durable aluminium die-cast structure, reinforced glass coating, shock-absorbing circuit board, component dispensing glue, and screen protection bezel. These elements work together to ensure the device's longevity and resilience.

This upgrade ensures full protection against dust ingress and safeguards the device from water sprays coming from any direction.

It is powered by a 12nm UNISOC T612 octa-core processor and comes with a 5,000mAh battery that supports USB-C 10W charging. Realme claims the device can withstand up to 1,000 charge cycles while retaining 80% of its battery capacity, even with extensive use.

Global Smartphone Market Trends
The global smartphone user base has steadily grown, increasing from 3.73 billion in 2020 to 4.74 billion in 2022. This growth has been largely driven by the rise of affordable smartphones and better internet connectivity. However, in 2023, the global user base slightly declined to 4.64 billion. This reduction may be attributed to market saturation in certain regions or economic challenges impacting consumer purchasing power, emphasizing the need for continuous market analysis.

From the Realme 12 Series Pro to the Realme NARZO and P Series, the brand has consistently pushed the boundaries of smartphone technology. In particular, the Realme NARZO N63 enhances the user experience with features like Riding Mode, AI Noise Reduction for calls, Mini Capsule 2.0 for instant notifications, Air Gestures, a Dynamic Button, and UltraBoom speakers.
