Realme Narzo 80 Pro 5G
How long will it last?
Our estimateSupported until April 2028 · Buy-by April 2026
Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~3-year update track record — on that basis the Narzo 80 Pro 5G should be supported until around April 2028. Buying it today still gets you about 1.8 years of safe use (Apple's written legal minimum is 5 years).

Street price ÷ months of safe use remaining — the number that makes cheap short-lived phones expensive, and well-supported ones cheap.
63% above the under-$300 median ($6.65/mo, dying phones excluded)
Our verdict
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.
Pros
- Slim 7.6mm, light 179g body with IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance
- Bright 6.72-inch 120Hz OLED rated up to 4500 nits peak
- 6000mAh battery with fast 80W wired charging
- Capable Dimensity 7400 chipset; security patches expected through about April 2028
Cons
- Shorter software commitment (estimated 2 OS upgrades, 3 years security) than the P-series
- No NFC for contactless payments
- Wi-Fi 5 only and no microSD expansion
