I am often asked:and advise some good smartphone, but not these expensive apples of yours?“And further it is advertised that by the word “good” a person means that the camera shoots normally, that the screen is bright, that it works without glitches, charges quickly, looks modern, well, so that there is some kind of chip, for the soul.
I know of several such smartphones that would be priced with all the above parameters and not cost too much. And just yesterday I saw a new product, realme C55, because this smartphone has:
▪️ beautiful back panel design
▪️ 90Hz LCD screen
▪️ decent camera for photo and video
▪️ fingerprint scanner accurately
▪️ 256 GB internal memory
▪️ fresh Android 13 operating system
▪️ fast charging and case included
And as a feature – an analogue of the “dynamic island”, only here it is called Mini Capsule. It’s an interactive bar at the top of the screen that even my iPhone doesn’t have..
After listing all the significant outstanding results, the thought that such a smartphone will cost 30 thousand. And here is the main argument in using realme C55: this smartphone went on sale on April 25, a hot new product, at a price of 16,999 rubles.
Interesting? Still would! See what you can get for this little money:
Slim body, stylish design
At first glance, you wouldn’t think it’s plastic.
The body of the smartphone, including the side frames, is made of plastic, but the gadget looks quite premium. The point is the back panel, which has an interesting iridescent texture of metal polished to a shine.
The assembly is good, realme C55 does not creak in the hand and there are no sensations cheapnessso for tactile impressions I put a solid five.
The large screen occupies 91.4% of the entire area of the front of the smartphone.
On the back there is a large camera block, consisting of two modules, and 91.4% of the area of the entire front is occupied by an IPS LCD screen with diagonal 6.72 inchesindustry 2400 × 1080 responsesbrightness 680 nits and update frequency 90 Hz.
As usual, a protective film is already pasted on the screen right out of the box.
The screen is quite bright, the colors are rich and saturated. The viewing angle is wide, and in general the screen is very good for its class. Eyes do not get tired, no need to squint.
On the right side there is a volume rocker and a smartphone power button, which has a built-in fingerprint scanner. On the left side, you can find the SIM card tray, bottom USB-C charging port, speaker grille, and a 3.5mm wired headphone jack.
All buttons, ports and connectors.
Despite the presence of a 3.5 mm input, the wired headphones themselves are not included. But on the other hand, there is a mandatory 33 W charging block, a case and transparent soft silicone.
Typically, this 3.5mm input is more often used to connect a smartphone to a car music system than to listen to music through headphones.
Comes with fast charger, cable and case. Beauty.
And why do we need wired “ears” at all, if realme has new Buds Air 3 Neo wireless headphones, which have excellent sound, design, noise reduction, and work on a single charge for a long time.
So the configuration of the smartphone inspires respect. Especially for your money.
Filling, cameras, operating system and a special feature
Games go without lags and brakes.
Realme C55 is powered by Helio G88 processor with 2x Cortex-A75 cores and 6x Cortex-A55 cores up to 2.0GHz. AnTuTu scores 273,363 points in the tests of the smartphone, which is pretty good for a device in the middle price segment.
The Mali G52 chip is responsible for the graphics. All the games I ran (PUBG, Diablo IV, Call of Duty Mobile, Genshin Impact) ran without lags, crashes or delays. The smartphone heats up moderately during gaming sessions, but not too noticeably.
The internal memory is 256 GB and the RAM is 8 GB. This is more than enough for your favorite games, music and other data. Plus, you can add up to 8GB of RAM storage, so the Realme C55’s strong performance compares to the high-priced average.
Wireless technologies are presented in the form of the ability to connect to other devices via Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0. And for making contactless payments there is an NFC module.
Powerful 33W bundled charger with SuperVOOC technology.
The external battery has a capacity of 5000 mAh. This is quite enough for the device to work for several days in working mode, without abusing games. Support for the patented SuperVOOC technology and a complete charger allow you to quickly charge realme C55 from scratch: up to 50% in 25 minutes, and up to 100% in 60.
There are two main cameras – the main sensor is 64 megapixels with the possibility of zooming in 2x and 5x and a 2 megapixel portrait lens. Photos are obtained on a strong four, see for yourself:
The front camera has a resolution of 8 megapixels. Selfies with good results, distortion is minimal.
What I especially liked was that there was no aggressive “beautifier”, which would turn the face into a blurry plastic mask:
The operating system uses the version of Android 13, on top of which the proprietary Realme UI 4.0 shell is installed.
It looks presentable, there are many different settings, including changing the shape of icons, setting up a special menu in games and applications to fine-tune performance, and much more.
It’s nice that all the time I had a smartphone in use, I did not see a single advertising banner in the bowels of the operating rooms. That’s how it should be, I think.
And now the token: Realme UI 4.0 has the “Mini Capsule” function enabled by default, which will display information about user activities, such as currently playing music, plugging into a power outlet, and other notifications, on the top of the screen.
This is an analogue of the “dynamic island” from the latest apple models of the Pro series.
I would notice, a trifle, an interface element that did not pay attention to anything. But in fact, you tie it to this method of obtaining information very quickly, and I no longer have enough on my own smartphone.
It remains to add that on realme C55, immediately after the initial setup, you can find a large collection of pre-installed applications, such as State Services and Vkontakte. They can be installed or removed easily.
Great smartphone for your money
The case is thin, only 7.9 mm thick.
In realme, the creator that conducted research and surveys on the topic “hthe buyer to give full attention to the smartphone“. As a result, it turns out that people get a large amount of memory, a sufficient amount of the camera and consume charging. So with the release of the new C55, the company teaches all these wishes, and offers an interesting design as a bonus.
For all the days when I went with realme C55, I constantly asked my interlocutors how much, in their opinion, such a smartphone could cost. Having turned it in their hands, everyone, as one, named the amount of about 30 thousand rubles and were very surprised when I said that this model costs much less.
Personally, I liked the tactile sensations most of all when you hold the gadget in your hand, really fast charging and, of course, an analogue of the “dynamic island”. From now on, I will recommend this smartphone to anyone who asks for a good one, because realme C55 is a really GOOD smartphone. Without jambs and imperfections.
Just a good smartphone for good money.
The only negative, purely personal, is the fingerprint scanner, by and large, on the case. Yes, it works in 10 cases out of 10, but if you just hold the smartphone in your hand, then you willy-nilly touch the skin of your palm. The scanner counts each touch describing an unfortunate slight vibration.
And after several failed readers, the only way to unlock the device is with a password.
Maybe I’m just not used to such a scanner. My iPhone does not have a fingerprint scanner at all.
I remind you that the novelty of 2023, the realme C55 smartphone, has already gone on sale and costs 16,990 rubles. This is a great price for a device with an interesting design, great presence and a 64 MP camera. Sincerely pay attention to this model to all lovers of the “green robot”.
