In 2023, Realme added several budget-friendly phone models to its
collection. Among these launches were the Realme C67 and C51, both offering
decent features. The latest to join this lineup is the Realme C65, which was
revealed in Vietnam.
The device we're talking about here is set at a price that won't break
the bank, making it a solid choice for folks wanting a smartphone that does all
the smartphone-y things without needing the fancy extras. This time around,
Realme has rolled out a model that fits the bill for various wallets. The
Realme C65 showcases a decently sized 6.67-inch screen that gives you clear
visuals in HD, backed by an LCD screen. It keeps your views smooth with a 90Hz
refresh rate and bright enough for outdoor use with 625 nits of brightness.
When it comes to taking pictures, it's got a simple set-up with a main
50-megapixel camera and a smaller 2-megapixel one for close-up shots, plus it
throws in a flash. You'll find an 8-megapixel camera on the front for selfies.
Under the hood, Realme sticks with MediaTek processors, picking the
Helio G85 model for this iteration. Buyers have options when it comes to memory
and storage, with either 6 or 8 GB of RAM and a choice between 128 or 256 GB
for storing files and photos. And if that’s not enough, you can add more up to
2 TB with a microSD card, depending on the model you choose.
Power-wise, it's supported by a 5,000 mAh battery, which is pretty good
for staying off the charger all day, plus it charges up quickly with 45W fast
charging. The smartphone runs on Android 14 and features Realme’s own UI 5.0,
making its interface user-friendly.
