The mid-range smartphone segment today seems to be flooded with a sea of options that have very little differentiation, at least on the spec sheet. Well, Realme has just unveiled its latest offering, which it hopes will truly stand out in the segment. Namely, the Realme Narzo 70 Pro.

To see if it does though, we put together a quick comparison of the device with the Redmi Note 13 5G and the Vivo Y200e 5G, the most recent and some of the most popular offerings in the segment currently. Read on.

The Vivo Y200e 5G is the only one of three devices powered by a Qualcomm chipset. Namely, the Snapdragon 4 Gen 2. The device is available with 128GB storage, coupled to either 6 or 8GB of RAM. You can expand the storage on the device to as much as 1TB though, via a microSD card.

All three devices – the Realme Narzo 70 Pro, the Redmi Note 13 5G as well as the Vivo Y200e 5G pack a 5,000mAh battery under the hood. However, the Narzo 70 Pro gets support for 67W SuperVOOC fast charging. The Redmi Note 13 5G and the Vivo Y200e 5G support 33W fast charging and 44W flash charge technology respectively.

All three phones should last you all day with relative ease. However, each of them will take different amounts of time to charge if your phone is out of juice, which can make all the difference should you need access to it in a hurry.
