Realme C75 5G: With budget smartphone segment getting more and more competitive, Realme has quickly carved a niche for itself as a brand for the value-conscious buyers. The new Realme C75 5G looks to continue that tradition with 5G support, a spacious display, and quite a formidable-looking camera arrangement — all packed in an affordable shell.
Design and Build:
Smooth Is Cool Again If you think the EVO looks like an iPhone — well, you nailed it.
Design and display Also Read: Realme C75 5G design The Realme C75 5G comes with a somewhat regular design. The phone has a clean, matte finish back that resists fingerprints well and looks pretty premium in its more understated and flashier color options. Being thin, light and feeling good in the hand.
There’s a rectangular camera island on the back, and a flat frame that contributes to this modern aesthetic. It’s not screaming premium, but it’s not screaming cheap either. The plastic shell keeps it light, but you don’t get any water resistance or Gorilla Glass protection.
Screen: Large, and Bright Enough
Here you’re getting a 6.72-inch Full HD+ LCD panel and it’s one of the better ones at this price point. A standout feature here is the 120Hz refresh rate — scrolling feels smoother and the UI feels more responsive as a result.
It’s bright enough to be visible indoors and most situations outside, but in direct sunlight, you’ll need to squint a bit.
Colours are very bright too and viewing angles are fairly good. It’s not AMOLED, but this screen delivers an enjoyable viewing experience, especially at this price level.
Performance: Good Enough 5G, on a Budget
Realme C75 5G comes equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon 695 SoC which is a decent offering in the mid range SoC. With 6GB or 8GB RAM, you can expect fluid performance for making calls, sending texts, browsing and streaming.
Gaming? Yes, it can run the likes of BGMI, COD Mobile, Asphalt 9, etc., just don’t expect max settings gameplay. It’s not a performance monster, but considering the price, that’s a good showing.
The 5G connection is great, where glitches are minimal and fast wherever it’s available. So if you’re future proofing to faster networks, this one gets you covered.
Cameras: Surprisingly Sharp
At the back, the C75 5G features a 50MP primary sensor and 2MP depth sensor. The main camera can capture good detail and natural colors in daylight.
Pictures are sharp, with decent contrast and reasonable dynamic range from what is after all a budget-priced phone.
Portrait shots are good with very good edge detection. Low-light performance is so-so — Shots are serviceable but not great, even with Night Mode.
For selfies and video calls, the 8MP front camera is also reasonably good. It’s not going to wow you, but it does the job with acceptable sharpness and skin tones.
Battery & Charging: Your faithful friend
The Realme C75 5G is backed by a 5000mAh battery which easily lasts for a day and a half under regular usage. Whether you’re streaming, chatting, or gaming lightly, this battery has some really solid lift.
It is supported by 33W SuperVOOC fast charging and charging it from 0-50% takes about 30 minutes. Not blazing fast, but faster than what you’ll find on most phones in this price range.
Software: Android 14 with Realme UI 5.0
The C75 5G has Realme UI 5.0 on top of Android 14, which seems to be running more fluidly than previous iterations. There are few pre-installed apps (bloatware) and most can be uninstalled. This is in addition to all those features like split-screen, smart sidebar, dark mode that enhance the user experience.
There are some nudges to install recommended apps that can get annoying — but that’s no deal-breaker.
