Two upcoming models, the Realme C100 and C100i, have shown up in a hands-on video from Thailand, giving a fairly detailed early look. One of them has even popped up on a local retailer listing, so these don’t seem too far from an official launch.

Starting with the C100, it’s a fairly large device. You’re looking at a 6.8-inch LCD panel with 720p+ resolution and, interestingly, a 144Hz refresh rate, which is not something you usually see at this level. Brightness is rated at up to 900 nits, so it should be usable outdoors.

The phone is powered by the Dimensity 6300 5G, paired with either 4GB or 6GB RAM and 128GB storage. There’s also a dedicated microSD slot, which is becoming less common but still useful in this segment.

Battery is also a key highlight of this C100. The phone packs a 7,000mAh cell, which is quite large even by today’s standards. Charging is capped at 15W though, so topping it up will likely take some time.

You get a 50MP main camera, a 5MP front shooter, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and IP64 protection. The phone is listed in Thailand at around THB 7,000 to 7,500, depending on the RAM variant.

The C100i sits a bit lower in the lineup. It keeps the same screen size and battery, but drops to a 120Hz refresh rate and runs on a Unisoc T606/T616-class chip, so performance will be more basic. Cellular connectivity will also be limited to 4G.

What’s a bit unclear right now is how these fit into Realme’s existing lineup. Phones like the C85 offer more RAM or faster charging at similar prices.

More details should follow once Realme makes things official, but for now, this looks like a pretty straightforward push toward endurance-focused budget phones.
