Realme has dropped another affordable phone in its C series just weeks after the C100x, and the focus is clearly on the practical stuff people actually need day to day. With memory costs climbing, the company is trying to offer a long battery life without pushing the price too high.
The Realme C100i comes in a single 4GB + 64GB config at ₹14,999. Colour options are Skyline Silver and Midnight Black, and you can buy it from realme’s official site or Flipkart. Right now Flipkart buyers can knock ₹1,000 off with an IndusInd Bank credit card.
One of the main talking points is the ArmorShell build. It meets the MIL-STD-810H standard and is claimed to survive drops from up to 2 metres. On top of that it has an IP64 rating for dust and light water resistance, which is pretty solid for a phone in this price range.
The screen is a 6.8″ HD+ LCD with a 120Hz refresh rate, so scrolling feels smoother than what you usually get at this level. Power comes from a Unisoc T7250 chipset (12nm) with 4G connectivity. Its paired with 4GB of physical RAM (virtually expandable up to 12GB) and 64GB of storage that can take a microSD card up to 2TB.
Cameras stay basic, with 8MP at the back and 5MP up front, fine for casual photos and video calls. The real practical win is the big 6,500mAh battery with 15W charging, which should easily stretch past a full day for light to moderate use.
It runs Android 16 with realme UI 6.0. Overall, the C100i is a straightforward option for anyone looking for an entry-level phone with long battery life. Apart from older family members who would mainly use the phone for calls and a bit of content consumption, it can also be a good pick as a secondary phone.
