Realme have just announced two smartphone in the Narzo series; that is the Narzo 30 Pro and the 30A. In the article before this one, I compared the older vanilla Narzo 20 to the new Narzo 30A, and in this article, I’ll briefly look at some of the key differences between the Narzo 30 Pro and the older Narzo 20 Pro.
One key question I want to answer with this post is; if you currently own the Narzo 20 Pro, should upgrade to the Narzo 30 Pro?. Well, yes! If you own the Narzo 20 Pro, you CAN upgrade to the 30 Pro, and this is because the 20 Pro only has 4G LTE network, while the newer Narzo 30 Pro has both 4G and 5G network support.
Aside the 5G network support introduced by the newer CPU, the Narzo 30 Pro also come with a larger 5000mAh battery instead of the 4500mAh juice in the older model. But the new model only come with 30W fast charger, while the Narzo 20 Pro has a faster 65W charger.
