Realme has officially unveiled its newest budget-friendly smartphone, the Realme C61, to the Indian market. The company has disclosed the pricing and some key specifications ahead of the official launch, which is set for June 28th, along with the first sale.
Realme C61 Specifications:
The phone features an HD+ LCD display with a notch, likely to keep costs down. Under the hood, it retains the Unisoc T612 processor from its predecessor C51, but with the option for up to 6GB of RAM and expandable storage with up to 4GB of virtual RAM.
Realme touts the C61 as “tough as steel” thanks to its “integrated metallic frame” with “ArmorShell Protection.” The phone is IP54 certified for dust and splash resistance, and comes with “reinforced glass” for the screen, though the specific type remains undisclosed.
The device boasts a 32MP main camera paired with a depth sensor for enhanced photography. It is equipped with a 5000mAh battery, with the company claiming that it will retain over 80% of its capacity even after an impressive 1000 charging cycles.
The phone also includes a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and a mini capsule feature, similar to the Dynamic Island on iPhones. This feature activates with certain apps or functions in the camera area, displaying corresponding animations or app pages.
The Realme C61 will be available in two color options: Safari Green and Marble Black.
Pricing and Availability
The phone comes in three storage variants – 4GB RAM with 64GB storage, 4GB RAM with 128GB storage, and 6GB RAM with 128GB storage. The base variant starts at Rs. 7,699 ($92) while the the higher storage variants are priced at Rs. 8,499 ($102) and Rs. 8,999 ($108) respectively.
To incentivize early adopters, Realme is offering a special bank offer on the 6GB+128GB variant, reducing the price to Rs. 8,099 ($97) for customers using ICICI, SBI, or HDFC bank cards.
The phone will go on sale on June 28th and it will be available to purchase through realme.com, Flipkart, and offline stores.
