Realme Narzo N65 5G
How long will it last?
Our estimateSupported until May 2027 · Buy-by May 2025
Apple doesn't publish an end date, but iPhones have a consistent ~3-year update track record — on that basis the Narzo N65 5G should be supported until around May 2027. Buying it today still gets you about 1.0 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.
66% above the under-$300 median ($6.88/mo, dying phones excluded)
Our verdict
An affordable way onto 5G with a smooth 120Hz screen, held back by a low-res panel and slow charging, with estimated support to 2027.
Pros
- Brings 5G via the Dimensity 6300 at a very low price
- Smooth 120Hz refresh rate, uncommon in this budget band
- IP54 rating and estimated security support through 2027
Cons
- Only HD+ 720p resolution despite the 120Hz panel
- Slow 15W charging on the 5000mAh battery
