The Realme Narzo N53's rear is reminiscent of the iPhone Pro models since it features a squircle-shaped camera island with three circles - two for cameras and one for the flash

The Narzo N53's back panel has California Sunshine Design with a shower-like pattern similar to Realme C55's Sunshower version. At the bottom is the USB-C port flanked by the 3.5mm headphone jack, microphone, and speaker grille.

On the right-side frame are the volume rocker and power button, which doubles up as a fingerprint scanner. We have the notched display on the front, but we don't know its diagonal and resolution. However, you can be sure it's an LCD panel.

The Narzo N53 will be 7.49mm thin, making it the thinnest Realme smartphone ever. Amazon.in revealed it will come in at least two colors, but we are yet to learn what their marketing names are
