Realme C100 5G specs
Starting with the higher end model, the Realme C100 5G comes with a 2.5D “metal-like” frame, with the chassis measuring in at 8.88mm thick and weighing in at 224g. It packs a 6.8-inch LCD display, pushing a HD+ resolution with an up to 144Hz refresh rate, 83% coverage of the NTSC colour gamut and a peak brightness of 900nits in high brightness mode. There’s also a layer of Panda MN228 glass over it for scratch resistance.
Under the hood, it comes with a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 system-on-chip, with 4GB of LPDDR4X memory and 256GB of eMMC 5.1 storage. There’s also support for expandable storage, while it comes with Android 16 skinned with Realme UI 7.0 out of the box. As for cameras, there’s just single main 50MP, f/1.8 camera that you can use on the back, with a 5MP, f/2.2 front camera for selfies.
Keeping the lights on is a 7000mAh battery that Realme claims will last up to 19.8 hours of online video playback, with support for 45W fast charging that can get you up to 11.8 hours of music playback with just 5 minutes of charge. However, by default you’ll only get a 15W charger in the box. It does also support reverse wireless charging.
Other features of note include an IP64 dust and water resistance rating, a mono speaker that goes up to 300% volume, a 3.5mm audio jack, a fingerprint sensor and support for WiFi 5, NFC and Bluetooth 5.3 wireless connectivity.
Realme C100i specs
As for the Realme C100i, it has a similar design to its 5G-enabled sibling, with a 8.38mm thick chassis that weighs in at 208g. It shares a similar 6.8-inch IPS display too, with the same HD+ resolution, 83% coverage of the NTSC colour gamut and a peak brightness of 900nits in high brightness mode; the only notable difference is its lower 120Hz refresh rate.
The Realme C100i’s biggest downgrade though is that it comes with a Unisoc T7250 system-on-chip, with the 8-core chipset mated to 4GB of LPDDR4X memory and 128GB of eMMC 5.1 storage. It also comes with support for expandable storage and has Realme UI 7.0 out of the box.
As for cameras, its main camera is downgraded to an 8MP, f/2.0 shooter with a 5MP, f/2.2 selfie shooter. Its battery however remains the same capacity at 7000mAh, though top charging is down to 15W wired charging.
