Realme C31 Review: In-Depth Look at Its Features, Camera, and Price

The Realme C31 has been constructed with an aim at ensuring reliable performance at a budget price. Android v11 gets power here, and the smartphone interface is clean, plus it does include essential updates.

Its thickness is 8.43mm, while weighing in at 197g, making it somewhat thin but more heavy than most other devices in the class. Side fingerprint sensor has also been introduced for easy security.

Display and Design

The Realme C31 will be coming with a 6.52-inch IPS LCD screen. The display resolution is 720×1600 pixels, which refers to a pixel density of 270 ppi.

The display is quite satisfactory for daily use but lacks in terms of sharpness and falls a bit short when compared to these high-end devices.

It supports a screen contrast ratio of 1500:1 and brightness of 400 nits, which makes it usable even in daylight under extreme illuminations.

The display of the phone features a water drop notch and has a 60Hz refresh rate and 120Hz touch sampling rate, which enhances the responsiveness of the touch screen.

Camera Capabilities

The Realme C31 packs a triple rear camera, using a 13MP primary sensor, along with a 2MP macro lens and 2MP depth sensor. It supports recording video in 1080p Full HD, so the images and videos are decent enough for its present rate.

The 5MP front camera, driven by the Sony IMX258 sensor, is suitable for basic selfies and video calls.

Performance and Storage

Under the hood, the Realme C31 is powered by the Unisoc Tiger T612 chipset, which features a 1.82GHz octa-core processor. While this setup delivers satisfactory performance for basic tasks, it may lag behind in more demanding applications.

The device comes with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage in the base variant. For users needing more space, there is a 4GB RAM + 64GB storage variant available. Both models will expand using a dedicated microSD card slot with up to 1TB of additional storage available.

Connectivity and Battery

Realme C31 supports the network connectivity of 4G and VoLTE and carries connectivity like Bluetooth v5.0 and WiFi. It also carries a microUSB v2.0 port for charging as well as transferring data into the phone.

The battery capacity is 5000 mAh, delivering long-lasting performance and will ensure comfortable all-day use without often recharging the device.
