Durable, super affordable

This smartphone is a slightly toned-down version of the C75 announced last January, but it is still robust in build.

The phone features an ArmorShell protected body with an internal airbag design and integrated inner metal frame, as well as protection on all four corners. realme claims that this phone can survive up to 1.8 meters of drops and has passed the MIL-STD-810H rating of the military.

Moreover, it has IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings. This means that the phone has resistance against dust, high-pressure water jets, and full water subsmersion. It could be submerged in water up to 2 meters for 60 hours.

The realme C75x is available in Coral Pink and Oceanic Blue colors.

For specs, realme boasts that the handset is equipped with a 6.67-inch 120Hz HD+ display with a top-center notch for the improved Mini Capsule 3.0 (now supports Grab app), Always-on Display,  and a 5MP f/2.2 selfie camera.

Inside, it uses the 2.0GHz 12nm MediaTek Helio G81 octa-core processor, 8GB RAM (up to 24GB Dynamic RAM), 128GB expandable internal storage, and a 5,600mAh large battery capacity, which offers up to 12 hours of video playback and nearly 8 hours of mobile gaming. It also has a USB-C 45W SUPERVOOC charging.

According to the company, this is a low-temperature fast-charging solution that can replenish its entire battery capacity from 0 to 100 percent in 90 minutes. Moreover, realme claims that it can retain 80 percent battery health after 1,000 cycles.

At the back, it shows 3 cameras in total, but realme only listed one on its specs sheet. In particular, it uses a 50MP f/1.8 main shooter with PDAF focus paired with an LED flash. This phone also has an underwater camera mode that allows it to use the buttons of the phone to capture images underwater.

This has the SonicWave Water Ejection and a 400 percent UltraBoom super-linear speaker.

The device runs on Android 15 OS with realme UI 6.0 skin. It also has AI Clear Face, AI Smart Loop, Google Gemini, and Circle to Search.
