realme ushers in the new year with the realme C67, a new entry-level smartphone featuring a Snapdragon 685 platform, 108MP main shooter, 360° NFC, and IP54 protection.
This is the first realme smartphone following the brand’s rebranding exercise that changed its slogan to ‘Make it real’.
The smartphone is the first smartphone in the realme C series to feature a Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, and it uses the most powerful chipset in the entry-level segment, the Snapdragon 685 platform.
Mobile gaming thrives with improved Kryo CPU and Adreno GPU performances and FPS optimisation boosters, offering faster graphics rendering for immersive, smoother gaming.
It has a Qualcomm-supported 108MP main shooter which is amplified with the 3x In-sensor Zoom.
This is the first time realme offers a 3x In-sensor Zoom within this price segment.
Meanwhile, realme C67 also supports 3x Portrait Mode, Night Mode, and new Street Photography Filters for a versatile photography experience.
Built with Champion quality, the realme C67 brings a Champion-like mobile experience with its Mini Capsule 2.0, 360° NFC, IP54 protection, and a Dual Stereo Speaker.
The well-loved Mini Capsule received an upgrade in the form of Mini Capsule 2.0, where users can enjoy three new exciting features: Music, Weather, and Event.
In addition, the enhanced NFC feature significantly improves the success rate of card swipes, simplifying users’ daily interactions.
Also, for the first time in C-series’ history, realme C67 comes with IP54 protection that prevents the intrusion of water from splashing in all directions.
The 6.72-inch realme C67 also takes the leap to ditch the screen plastic bracket, which is a feature typically seen in flagship devices due to structural complexity.
The removal of the bracket makes the phone’s screen and bezel fit tighter, minimising the black edges of the phone and allowing for better waterproofing and dust proofing capabilities.
Measuring 7.59mm ultra-thin body, the thinnest in the segment, the realme C67 is available in two colour options: Sunny Oasis and Black Rock.
It offers an expandable RAM of up to 16GB RAM, and large storage of up to 256GB, and supports the 33W SUPERVOOC Fast Charging that can juice up its 5,000mAh battery capacity from 0% to 50% in 26 minutes.
The smartphone starts at RM799 for the 128GB variant, and RM899 for the 256GB variant.
It is available for first sale on 6 January 2024 with realmme offering a Techlife P-16 Memory Neckband Wireless Earphone worth RM 69 for offline purchases.
Online buyers of the smartphone will enjoy even more benefits which include a 1-year Extended Warranty, Techlife P-16 Memory Neckband Wireless Earphone, and 10,000mah Power Bank; all collectively worth up to RM148
I also have a unit for testing at the moment with a review expected soon. For more details of the realme C67, check the links below.
