Introduction

The realme C61 (RMX3930) has arrived, promising a compelling package of features at a budget-friendly price point. This Middle East version, boasting 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage in a stylish Sparkle Gold finish, has been put through its paces. In this comprehensive review, we’ll delve into its performance, camera capabilities, battery life, and overall user experience to see if it lives up to the hype.

Key Features

The realme C61 packs several impressive features for its price range. The standout aspects include its 90Hz refresh rate display, providing a smoother visual experience than standard 60Hz screens. The 50MP primary camera promises decent image quality, and the extended RAM feature (18GB Dynamic RAM) aims to enhance multitasking capabilities. The IP54 rating for dust and water resistance offers a degree of protection against the elements, exceeding expectations for a budget device. The long-lasting 5000mAh battery, coupled with a 4-year battery health guarantee, is a significant plus.

Performance & Benchmarks

During my testing, the realme C61 (RMX3930) handled everyday tasks with surprising efficiency. The Unisoc Tiger T612 octa-core processor, while not a flagship chipset, proved more than adequate for browsing, social media, and light gaming. The 90Hz display truly enhances the user experience, making scrolling and animations feel noticeably smoother. Multitasking was also smooth thanks to the 18GB Dynamic RAM (6GB + 12GB extended). While demanding games might show some frame drops, the overall performance for its price is commendable. I experienced minimal lag and stutters during my usage.

Camera Performance

The 50MP main camera on the realme C61 exceeded my expectations. In well-lit conditions, images were sharp and detailed with accurate colors. Low-light performance was decent, though not exceptional. The 5MP secondary camera is functional for basic snapshots. Overall, the camera setup is a solid performer for its price bracket. [Include sample photos if available].

Battery Life & Charging

The 5000mAh battery easily lasted two days on a single charge under moderate usage. This includes several hours of screen-on time, browsing, and social media usage. Even with more intensive use, the battery consistently provided a full day of power. The Type-C charging is convenient, although charging speeds are not exceptionally fast. The 4-year battery health guarantee is a welcome feature, assuring longevity.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Excellent battery life, smooth 90Hz display, surprisingly good camera performance for the price, decent performance for everyday tasks, IP54 rating, 4-year battery health guarantee, extended RAM.
• Cons: Not ideal for heavy gaming, charging speed could be faster, secondary camera is basic.

Final Verdict

The realme C61 (RMX3930) is a strong contender in the budget smartphone market. Its impressive battery life, smooth display, and surprisingly capable camera make it an excellent value proposition. While it may not be a powerhouse, it delivers a satisfying user experience for everyday needs. I would wholeheartedly recommend the realme C61 to anyone seeking an affordable yet capable smartphone.
