Design and Construction:
The realme C63 has an IP54 grade, which is not often seen in phones in this price range. This means it should be resistant to water splashes and dust, which is great for people who are prone to spills or who like to go on adventures outside. The phone's build quality is very sturdy, with a strong frame that makes you feel safe using it. Moreover, realme claims that there will be no noticeable flaws even when you drop it to tranite slab at 1-meter height.

The materials, on the other hand, are not so normal for a phone like this. The one we have is the Jade Green colorway, which has a back panel that is mostly made of plastic. It's not a deal-breaker, in fact, realme advertises this device as scratch and stain-resistant. If you want a different texture and color, you can opt for the premium vegan leather blue variant. Meanwhile, the weight is spread out properly, which makes it comfortable to use for long periods of time.

| loudspeakers, USB-C port, microphone, 3.5mm audio jack |
Those who love using wired headsets will be delighted with the realme C63's 3.5mm audio jack situated at the bottom along with the microphone, USB Type-C port, and the UltraBoom speakers. The volume rocker and power-slash fingerprint sensor are ergonomically located on the right side.

Today's style is shown off by its smooth back and waterdrop-shaped screen. It doesn't change the style rules, but it's neutral and should appeal to a wide range of people.

Display: A Pretty Good Visual Experience
 |
| 6.74-inch HD+ 90Hz Display |
The 6.74-inch HD+ screen on the realme C63 is large enough for most people. It has good viewing angles and enough light for watching inside. The colors are bright, but not too intense. Even under strong sunlight, the display has no trouble staying clear, thanks to its AI Dual Light Sensors.
 |
| Mini Capsule 2.0 options |
The 90Hz screen does what it's supposed to do, this one meets beyond the basic needs but not to the point of being a standout. Not unless you consider the Mini Capsule 2.0 which adds functionality and controls.
Performance: Living Up to Expectations
The realme C63 has a chipset called Unisoc Tiger T612, which gives it speed that fits its low asking price. It's easy to do everyday things like reading, using social media, and playing light games. But games or apps that do a lot of work while you do other things might push the device to its limits, causing lags from time to time.
The 8GB RAM, which can be expanded to 16GB, is enough for most people, allowing for smooth app switching and multitasking in the background. The 256GB of storage is more than enough for apps, photos, and movies, and the ability to add more space with a MicroSD card is a plus.
In terms of software, it has a clean and easy-to-use interface thanks to its realme UI, which is built on Android. The software doesn't have many apps that aren't needed, and the phone gets regular security patches. The site is easy to navigate, and the whole experience is pleasant. However, some people might think the interface looks like other realme devices.

Camera:
The realme C63's 50MP main camera is one of its best features; it takes good pictures in daylight. The colors are true to life, and the details stay clear with good dynamic range. However, it doesn't do very well in low light, with noise and picture quality getting low that you can see up close. The camera has trouble with composing shadows, so in scenes with a lot of contrast, the highlights are too bright and the blacks are too dark.
 |
| 50MP Dual Rear Cameras |
The portrait view gets good results when it comes to finding edges, whole the bokeh effect looks mostly natural. As expected for this price range, video recording is limited to 1080p at 30 frames per second.
 |
| 8MP front camera |
The front camera works well for selfies and video calls, but it doesn't have as much clarity or dynamic range as the back camera.

How Long Does a Battery Last?
The realme C63's long battery life is one of its best features. Even with mild to heavy use, the 5000mAh battery easily lasts a whole day. This makes it a great choice for people who are going to be away from a charge source for a long time.
The 45W fast charging is a great feature that lets people quickly charge the battery when they need to. The whole thing takes about an hour to charge from 20% to full.
Final Words:
The realme C63 is a budget-friendly smartphone that lives up to its major claims of being durable, having a long battery life, and performing well enough. The IP54 protection and long-lasting battery are two things that make it stand out from the rest. It is a good choice if you want a sturdy phone with a long-lasting battery and aren't too worried about getting the best camera performance.
