Entry-level Realme C61 arrives with IP54 certification

The entry-level Realme C61 was officially introduced today. The phone comes with a metallic frame and is one of the first Realme C phones with IP54 dust and water resistance.

The C61 is powered by a Unisoc T612 chipset and is offered with either 4 GB or 6 GB RAM. The screen is a basic LCD panel with HD+ resolution.

The main rear camera has a 32 MP sensor, and sitting beside it is a "depth sensor." The battery capacity is 5,000 mAh and Realme promises it will retain 80% of its capacity after 1,000 charging cycles.

The phone is said to be "tough as steel," and it has an unconfirmed reinforced glass, earning TUV Rheinland's certification for high reliability.

Whether these are just marketing slogans or not, it is good that entry-level devices are also getting serious about durability as the most affordable devices are generally purchased by lower-income customers who don't have that much disposable income to spend on repairs in the first place.

Realme C61 in Black and Green

Realme C61 will be available in Safari Green and Marble Black starting June 28. The price is INR 7,699 ($92/€85) for 4/64 GB, INR8,499 ($100/€95) for 4/128 GB, and INR8,999 ($107/€100) for 6/128 GB.

Now I also found out it does not even have a fingerprint sensor. That is pretty bad. It’s overall worse than C51 but also cheaper. However, I just don’t think a phone without fingerprint at least is worth it at all. Saving 20 currencies but always ha...
