Realme recently introduced a couple of smartphones and TWS earphones in India, and it's already preparing to launch a new smartphone in its biggest market. The brand teased the launch of a new C-series smartphone in India, with its post on X captioned, "Buckle up as the newest champion is coming soon in town!"
The post also includes an image showing
the smartphone with a Dynamic Island-like feature called Mini Capsule. But this
won't be the first Realme smartphone to have a feature like that since the C55
launched in March came with Mini Capsule. However, that one had a punch-hole
display, while the upcoming phone has a notched display.
Realme hasn't explicitly mentioned the
smartphone's name, but clicking on the shortened URL shared by the company in
its X post takes us to the promo page of the smartphone on Realme's official
Indian website, with its URL mentioning C51, which confirms it's the C51 that
will debut soon in India. The Realme C51 isn't a new smartphone, so we know
what it offers. For starters, it's powered by a 12nm octa-core processor with a
maximum clock speed of 1.82GHz. It has a Mali-G57 GPU to handle graphically
intensive tasks, and there's 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB/128GB of storage
onboard. The smartphone also has a dedicated microSD card slot for storage
expansion by up to 2TB, and it runs Android 13-based Realme UI T Edition out of
the box.
The Realme C51 is built around a
6.74" 90Hz screen (likely LCD) with 560 nits peak brightness, 180Hz touch
sampling rate, and a notch for the 5MP selfie shooter. Turn the phone around,
and you have a back panel with dual-finish. It sports three circles - one for
the flash and two for the cameras (50MP primary and what could be a depth
sensor).
Fueling the Realme C51 is a 5,000 mAh
battery, advertised to go from flat to 50% in 28 minutes. The smartphone also
comes with an NFC chip, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a side-mounted fingerprint
scanner. It has Mint Green and Carbon Black color options, and both will come
to India. But whether or not they will have the same marketing names in the
world's second-largest smartphone market remains to be seen.
