Reviews for the Realme C100

realme C100 5G review – Tough & Big Budget Battery Behemoth Tested
Source: Hitech Century English
The realme C100 5G features a large HD+ LCD display, exceptional battery life and a robust MIL-STD-810H and IP64 dust and water resistance rating. Even better, it is one of the few phones in the market which have a 3.5mm audio jack and microSD card support. This combination of features makes it particularly appealing for delivery drivers who require a large display and long battery life in a durable chassis. However, it’s not all a bed of roses and camera performance is middling at best. At the time of writing, there’s no official word on pricing save that it costs more than RM500 and is expected to be priced slightly north of that price band. If you’re on a tight budget, the realme C100 5G’s unique combination of features is worthy of consideration.

Realme C100 Specifications, Pros and Cons

The Realme C100 5G is built for speed and long-lasting power. It runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chip with 5G support, meaning faster downloads and smoother streaming if you are on a next-gen network. The 6.8-inch IPS LCD screen is buttery smooth thanks to a 144Hz refresh rate, and it gets bright enough (up to 900 nits) to use outdoors. Under the hood, you get either 4GB or 6GB of RAM with 128GB of storage, plus a massive 7,000 mAh battery that supports 45W fast charging. The main camera is a solid 50MP shooter, and the phone comes with a side fingerprint sensor, stereo speakers, and a headphone jack.
