Realme C55: A Detailed Review of its Features and Price

The Realme C55 is basically a smartphone that consolidates overall performance and affordability. The device runs on Android v13, bringing with it a sleek design, just at 7.89mm thickness.

The device weighs just 189.5g, so it won’t be an issue to handle. For users, they would encounter a large 6.72-inch IPS screen with a resolution of 1080×2400 pixels, delivering rather good display quality with a 392 ppi pixel density.

The 90Hz refresh rate and 180Hz touch sampling rate guarantee that interaction is smooth and agile, yet brightness is amplified to 550 nits with 96% NTSC color saturation for even better color accuracy.

Camera Specifications

Realme C55 comes equipped with a dual rear camera, which includes a 64MP primary sensor and another 2MP secondary sensor, 1080p at 30fps video recording capability.

The front camera is an 8MP sensor that ensures decent selfies. This camera system provides average performances in casual photography but might not meet users’ expectations in terms of more complex camera features.

Performance and Storage

Under the hood, the Realme C55 packs the Mediatek Helio G88 chipset with a 2GHz octa-core processor. It comes with up to 8GB of RAM that can be added to by another 8GB of virtual RAM.

There is also an available dedicated memory card slot to further supplement the stored data within, with the capacity of up to 1 TB of external storage.

The variants that the Realme C55 will be offered in are 4GB + 64GB, 6GB + 64GB, and 8GB + 128GB to cater to different user needs.

Connectivity and Battery

The phone uses 4G connectivity and VoLTE along with Bluetooth v5.2 and WiFi. USB-C v2.0 has been employed here, which is being used both for charging as well as transferring data.

It comes armed with a powerful 5000mAh battery that supports 33W fast charging and hence helps you top it up quite fast. The Realme C55 also provides reverse charging where you can utilize it as a power bank. It does not, however, include an FM radio or water resistance.
