Winner
Realme P4 5G
Lifespan decides this one: the P4 5G is supported until Aug 2029 at $5.57 per month of safe use, while the Narzo 80 Pro 5G runs out in Apr 2028 ($11.51/month). On a which-lasts-longer question, that's not a tie — it's the whole answer.

Who should pick which
Beyond the scores — our take on each phone and the buyer it actually suits.
A slim, light Narzo with a bright OLED and strong 80W charging, but its shorter software promise means support tapers off around 2028 — a step behind the P-series.

Frequently asked
How many years of updates does the Realme Narzo 80 Pro 5G get?
As a Narzo-tier device it is expected to receive about 2 Android OS upgrades and 3 years of security patches. From its April 9, 2025 release, that points to security support through roughly April 2028 (estimated from Realme's Narzo-tier norms, not a model-specific published promise).
Does the Realme Narzo 80 Pro 5G have NFC?
No. The Narzo 80 Pro 5G does not include NFC, so contactless tap-to-pay is not supported.
How long will the Realme P4 5G receive software updates?
It falls under Realme's P4 series policy of 3 major Android OS upgrades and 4 years of security patches. Having launched in August 2025 on Android 15 with realme UI 6.0, it will reach Android 18 and get security updates until roughly August 2029. For a phone that starts near $218, close to four years of patch coverage is unusually good value per month of safe use.
Is the Realme P4 5G worth buying in 2026?
For budget buyers, yes. You get a 144Hz AMOLED, a 7,000mAh battery and about three years of remaining security support for very little money. It is not fast or camera-strong, but as a no-fuss daily phone you can keep supported into 2029, the value per month of safe use is hard to match under $220.
