Another new model is preparing to enter the budget market of the smartphone in the country.

The realme C55 is being branded as a mobile phone that carries a “mini capsule” software, a dynamic notification system on battery level, mobile data usage and steps taken by the owner. The company hopes it becomes a “market disruptor.”

One immediately notices the longevity of its battery which at 5000-mAh is enough for a day of surfing, although using it for gaming will need the owner to charge it sooner than a day. However, with a 33W SuperVOOC charger, providing it more juice will not be that difficult, at least based on experience as its battery reaches 50% in just 29 minutes and full in just a hair of an hour.

Its 6.72-inch FHD+ display, on the other hand, is a come-on for those looking for bigger screen gadgets but do not want to buy tablets especially those into gaming. It also helps because it runs on a MediaTek Helio G88 chipset with a RAM of eight gigabytes

Also noticeable enough is its huge memory, although this comes into variants, the one with 128-gigabyte storage and the one that doubles this volume to 256 gigabytes.

Those looking for a smartphone with a better camera, realme C55’s dual cameras on the rear, a 64MP and a 2M, and an 8MP selfie camera is a good consideration at least for its price level, although the company has yet to announce the actual price.

It also comes in three colors: sunshower, rainy night  and rainforest

Initially, based on these specifications, realme C55 can compete in the budget-friendly smartphone market, considered the biggest segment in the mobile phone market in the Philippines. Marketing introduction of this new gadget will be on April 18 and the Coffeeholic will release its full review within the week.
