The display on the device is a 6.67-inch OLED unit with an FHD+ resolution. The refresh rate on it stands at 120Hz, like most other devices across segments today, while peak brightness goes to as much as 2,000 nits.

For audio, the Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G gets a dual stereo-speaker setup. What’s cool though, the device also gets a 3.5mm headphone jack to help minimise audio latency while gaming.

Bearing in mind how it is a gaming device, the Narzo 70 Turbo 5G also gets a touch sampling rate of 180Hz. The company claims that the device can run select games at up to 90fps in what it calls “GT” mode. To help keep it cool during the same, the device also gets a stainless-steel vapour cooling chamber.

Additionally, like the Realme Narzo 70 (launched back in March), the phone gets the Rainwater Smart Touch feature which minimises ghost touches, when the screen is wet. In case you missed it, the feature was first seen on the OnePlus 12 5G.

Coming to optics, the Realme Narzo 70 Turbo 5G gets a 50MP depth sensor and a 2MP depth sensor on the rear. On the front, there is a 16MP camera for selfies and video calls.
