realme C67 Review

Are you on the hunt for a new smartphone without breaking the bank? Well, the new realme C67 might be worth considering.

Now available in the Philippines, this device boasts good specs, a sleek design, and a powerful camera system. But is it worth your hard-earned cash? Find out as you read this review!

realme C67 Design

Okay, let’s talk style first because who doesn’t want a phone that looks as good as it performs, right? The realme C67 totally nails its physique. It has a sleek and sophisticated design, available in two stunning color options: Sunny Oasis and Black Rock. We’ve got the latter, which features diagonal stripes. You’ll also see its glitterish, stripes-like design depending on how the light strikes the panel.

If you’re a fan of not using a phone case, the good news is that it’s practically resistant to fingerprints, so you can flaunt its beauty without worrying about smudges. This adds a touch of elegance to your everyday carry. Just a heads up that its lenses are protruding, hence, they might get scratched if not protected by a case.

Additionally, the phone sports a slim and lightweight profile, making one-handed usage easy and comfortable. The placement of ports and buttons, including the USB-C port, 3.5mm audio jack, and volume rockers, is thoughtfully positioned for easy accessibility.

realme C67 Display

The unit features a decent 6.72-inch LCD display. Although its rivals could beat its display quality, its colors still deliver a vibrant viewing experience suitable for multimedia consumption and gaming. In fact, streaming movies on it provides crisp details and an enjoyable experience. However, playing games with heavy graphics may feel underwhelming compared to other handsets in the same price range. We’ll delve deeper into this in the performance section later.

Meanwhile, one aspect we appreciate about its display is its outdoor visibility, as it remains viewable even under sunlight.

realme C67 Software

The realme C67 runs on Android 14 with realme UI, so similar to other realme devices we’ve played around with, its interface is clean, intuitive, and super easy to navigate. Hence, you’ll feel right at home from the get-go.

The device also has a Mini Capsule 2.0 feature, copying the iPhone’s Dynamic Island. If you’re unfamiliar, this feature functions like a separate display that pops up when needed, adding convenience to your daily usage. Whether listening to music or charging your device, the Mini Capsule 2.0 seamlessly integrates into your user experience, enhancing overall experience.

For instance, it appears when playing music. This feature can also notify you about your battery status. Furthermore, it can display details of your scheduled events, the weather, data usage, and step stats.

realme C67 Performance

Under the hood, the realme C67 is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 chipset with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. While it may not boast the newest and best hardware, it easily handles day-to-day tasks, ensuring smooth multitasking and app navigation.

Benchmark Scores:

Casual gamers will also appreciate the C67’s ability to run most games without hiccups, although demanding titles may require tweaking settings for optimal performance.

For instance, when playing Call of Duty Mobile, we kept its graphic quality low while keeping its frame rate medium. In addition, expect that the display quality isn’t exceptional, but considering its price point, it’s acceptable. We also noticed it got a bit warm while gaming, but it was tolerable.

Meanwhile, for everyday use, including social media browsing and content consumption, the C67 delivers a satisfactory experience.

realme C67 Camera

Now, let’s talk about the real selling point of this device—the camera. With its 108MP main shooter and 2MP depth sensor, the realme C67 captures stunning photos that’ll make your Instagram feed pop. Its images are sharp and vivid, requiring minimal editing before you share them on your favorite social media platforms.

And what about selfies? The 8MP front-facing camera guarantees that you always look your best, thanks to features like in-app Retouch, Portrait mode, and various filters.

Meanwhile, with its Night mode, the C67’s camera performs impressively in low-light conditions, although you may notice some noises.

On the other hand, although it allows you to zoom up to 10x, the image quality isn’t something you can really flex online.

realme C67 Battery Life

It’s such a relief to have a budget-friendly phone like the realme C67, which boasts a 5000mAh battery with a 33W fast charging solution.

During our test, the device effortlessly powered through a full day with moderate usage, including social media browsing, video streaming, and casual gaming. However, when we heavily used it, the device only lasted up to 8 hours max. Activities include heavy social media browsing, casual gaming, and watching on Netflix.

Meanwhile, when charging the phone, the device could go from 30% to 100% in just under 2 hours.

realme C67 Verdict

Priced competitively at Php10,999 for the 8GB+256GB variant, the realme C67 offers a compelling package of features. For us, its standout camera system and impressive battery life make it a great choice for budget-conscious consumers.

Hence, if you prioritize camera performance and long-lasting battery life in a smartphone, the realme C67 is definitely worth considering.
