Realme C65: Budget-Friendly Smartphone Debuts in Malaysia on July 4
Realme is gearing up to introduce its latest budget offering, the C65, to the Malaysian market on July 4, 2024. This new entry in the C-series lineup boasts a design reminiscent of Samsung's Galaxy S22, featuring flat sides and a triple-lens camera setup.
Key Specifications:
- 6.6-inch 720p LCD display with 90Hz refresh rate
- MediaTek Helio G85 chipset
- Up to 8GB RAM and 256GB expandable storage
- 50MP main camera, 2MP macro lens, 8MP selfie camera
- 5,000mAh battery with 45W fast charging
- IP54 dust and water resistance
Unique Features:
The C65 comes with some interesting additions:
- Air gesture support
- Mini Capsule feature
- Customizable Dynamic Button on the side
- 48-month Fluency Certification promising smooth performance for four years
Pricing and Availability:
While official pricing hasn't been announced, a distributor's premature listing suggests the C65 might be priced at RM699 for the 8GB RAM / 256GB storage configuration. However, this information should be taken with a grain of salt until Realme's official announcement.
The device will be available in two color options: black and purple.
Our Take:
The Realme C65 appears to be an interesting budget option for those seeking a Samsung-inspired design without the premium price tag. Its 90Hz display and 45W fast charging are notable inclusions at this price point. However, the 720p resolution might be a drawback for some users. We'll have to wait for the official launch to see how it performs in real-world usage and how it stacks up against competitors in the budget smartphone segment.
Stay tuned for more details as we approach the July 4 launch date.
