The realme C53 Might be the Entry-level Smartphone to Beat! Here's Why

Smartphone brand realme has successfully infiltrated the local mobile phone market around five years since its launch in the Philippines. One reason behind this is how realme knows how to give what the most Filipino tech consumers want – an economical offering that doesn't compromise quality and performance. The brand adds another smartphone under this category, particularly its well-loved C-Series.

The realme C53 Might be the Entry-level Smartphone to Beat! Here's Why

Just around a few months after bringing in the country the realme C55, realme just launched the realme C53 last June 22, packed with the essential features priced at only P7,999. Here are its top features that'll convince you that this smartphone is your next gadget to buy.

Flagship aesthetics on a budget

realme has established itself as an advocate of bringing in features initially supposed to be found only on higher-end smartphone models that don't break the bank. This is true with the realme C53 which is a real head-turner out of the box.

realme says that the C53 is their thinnest smartphone yet. And that's while the device is carrying a large 5,000mAh battery. The realme C53 is only 7.49mm-thin. With this measurement complimenting its curved edges, the realme feels easy in the hands.

The realme C53 shines – literally and figuratively. Donning Champion Gold and Mighty Black colors, one would easily take the realme C53 as a higher-end smartphone because of its looks.

Massive, immersive display

This is also another department where the realme C53 shines. With this budget-friendly smartphone, you're provided with a 6.74-inch screen with a 90Hz refresh rate, commonly available on mid-range devices. A 90Hz refresh rate is essential for a smooth scrolling experience.

The realme C53 is also where the brand introduces its on-screen Mini Capsule on a notched display. It's an on-display bar, somehow similar to the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max's Dynamic Island. This is where you can view battery status, data usage, the number of steps you've taken for the day, and more.

realme adds that the realme C53's display carries 16.7M screen colors and can go up to 560nits in terms of peak brightness. This means that colors are bright and vivid, and the screen remains visible even in outdoor use.

Dual cameras with AI and new filters

Once you own a realme C53, one thing that other people might notice about it is its cameras which are positioned similarly to a high-end brand. Again, this is another proof of how realme brings in flagship features on budget devices.

The realme C53 comes with two cameras, top-billed by a 50-megapixel AI shooter capable of capturing clear details and lively colors. Another thing to explore about the realme C53 cameras is its new set of filters that includes City Street, Secret Garden, and Sunny Holiday.

Packed with memory

Gone are the days when budget-level devices were limited to carrying only 4GB of memory. With the realme C53, you'll get 6GB of built-in RAM. realme even included the relatively new Dynamic RAM feature on the realme C53. With this, an additional 6GB of dynamic memory is available. In total, the realme C53 offers 12GB of Dynamic RAM.

The realme C53 also allows users to store all their precious moments in photos, videos, and other documents, as it comes with 128GB of onboard storage, which is also essential for a smooth, lag-free experience.

Charges like a champion

It's common for realme smartphones to be outstanding in the battery department. realme C53 joins the brand's offerings of smartphones equipped with a generous battery life with its 5,000mAh juice supported by 33W fast charging.

Priced just right

As mentioned, the realme C53 retails for P7,999 for the 6GB/128GB version. As a treat, realme offered the said device for only P6,999 during its first series of sales via realme's official TikTok and Lazada stores last June 23.

Moreover, fans were also treated with a free Mystery Box, Dizo Watch 2 Sports, and/or a realme Cooling Back Clip during the first week of C53 available. Meanwhile, those who got the realme C53 for its regular price at realme stores nationwide were given a free TechLife Portable Blender 40w.
