Realme C55
Let's face it, the budget smartphone segment is usually the neglected stepchild in the ever-growing smartphone family. But Realme says, "Hold my beer," and introduces the C55. Does it pack a punch? Or is it just another cheap phone with gimmicks? 

Let's find out, shall we?

Price & Availability: A Budget That Won't Make You Cry

The Realme C55 comes in three "wallet-friendly" variants, and you can grab one from Amazon India or Realme's D2C website. Now, let's dive into what this bad boy has to offer.

Design: A Budget Phone That Doesn't Look Cheap AF

Realme C55 breaks the mold and brings a refreshing design that's both functional and, dare I say, sexy. With its flat edges, sandwich design, and cool color options, it's a budget phone that you won't be ashamed to whip out in public.

But before you jump for joy, there's no official IP rating here. So, don't go swimming with your phone, and we're all good.

Display: Big and Beautiful, Mostly

The 6.7-inch IPS LCD display with thin bezels and a punch-hole notch is a pleasant surprise for a budget phone. While the color reproduction and black levels could use some work, the overall experience is pretty decent.

Plus, it's got a 90Hz max refresh rate, which is great for scrolling through your endless social media feeds.

Software: Realme's Mini Capsule – A Neat Trick, But Not a Game Changer

Running Android 13 with Realme UI 4, the most talked-about feature here is the Mini Capsule. It's a cool little UI trick that can show your charging status, data consumption, and step stats. But let's be honest, it's not going to revolutionize your life.

Performance: Good Enough for the Price, But Don't Expect Miracles

Powered by the MediaTek Helio G88 SoC, the Realme C55's performance is respectable. It's not a performance beast, but it gets the job done. Gaming? You bet, just don't expect high-end graphics. Basic usage like watching videos and browsing? It's got you covered.

However, it's a 4G device in a 5G world. So, if you're looking for future-proof connectivity, you might want to look elsewhere.

Camera: Surprisingly Not Crap

The dual camera set-up, with a 64MP primary camera and a 2MP depth sensor, delivers better-than-expected results. Daylight shots? Not bad at all. Portrait shots? Crisp and precise. Low light? Well, it's a budget phone, what did you expect?

As for the 8MP selfie camera, it's just okay. But hey, at least the AI works fine if you're into tweaking your face.

Verdict: The Realme C55 – A Budget Phone That Doesn't Suck

If you're on a tight budget and want a phone that delivers decent performance, display, and camera quality, the Realme C55 might just be your guy. Just keep in mind it's a 4G device.
