Our favorite features from the realme C67

Following the launch of the Note 50 in January, realme Philippines continues 2024 strong by introducing the all new realme C67.

We’ve been using it for some time now, and it’s such an enjoyable phone to use especially if you’re into capturing content. Given starting price of just PHP 9,999USD 170INR 14,445EUR 162CNY 1,241, this also makes it very affordable.

And today, we’ll be talking about our favorite features of the new realme C67.

Who knows, it might even convince you to buy one as a new phone this 2024!

I. Cameras:

One of our favorite features of the realme C67 is its camera system. It comes with a dual camera setup highlighted by a 108MP main shooter paired with a 2MP depth sensor. Did I mention it also comes with in-body stabilization?

It’s not every day you get to have a camera of this caliber on such an affordable smartphone. Best of all, it can capture great images for almost all situations.

As someone who’s very picky with smartphone cameras, I was quite surprised by how capable the camera of the realme C67 was.

You get really crisp and sharp images, especially in well-lit environments. There’s even decent bokeh without having to use portrait mode.

The colors are quite vibrant too, and more importantly, they’re accurate. Just let the phone’s Auto HDR do its thing, and you’re bound to capture great photos.

No need to worry about retouching them with a 3rd party app.

When shooting in Hi-Res mode, you get to maximize the full 108MP of the main shooter too. It’s best used for landscape, detail, and portrait shots if you want to show off the subject in great detail. You can even use Hi-Res mode instead of zooming-in since you get to capture more of the subject in detail.

II. Design & Build

The realme C-series of smartphones always had a relatively good design and build, and the new C67 follows that.

The back panel features a radiant color-shifting design, depending on how the light hits it. If you look closely when there’s light, you’ll also notice the individual stripes, which are a nice touch.

Our unit is in the Sunny Oasis colorway, which helps it shine even more. A Black Rock color is also available for users who want a more muted look.

It’s relatively slim too, measuring only 7.59mm, and it has a good weight to it in real-world use. Realme was able to do this by removing the plastic bracket between the display and the body, making it a lot more seamless.

This makes it easy to fit your pocket, bag, or wherever you decide to put it. But if you’re having a hard time choosing which color suits you better, potential users can always check them out in person.

III. Performance

Powering the realme C67 is a Qualcomm Snapdragon 685 chipset with an Adreno 610 GPU.

Our unit comes with 8GB of RAM, which is virtually expandable by another 8GB along with 256GB of internal storage. There is a microSD card slot available to expand it further.

While the Snapdragon 685 chipset might be old, it’s more than enough to run your daily tasks without lagging or slowing down. Even if you leave several apps running in the background, you can still browse social media or watch videos on YouTube and Netflix without any issues.

When it comes to gaming, you can run most games without any major issues. It was even able to run Genshin Impact but you do have to adjust the settings to have smoother gameplay.

Still, not something you’d expect from an entry-level priced smartphone. Games such as Mobile Legends are a lot easier on the phone though, and you can still play competitively.

It also runs on Android 14, and comes with realme’s new Mini Capsule 2.0, which shows you various notifications such as charging, battery status, data usage, and more.

IV. Battery

The realme C67 packs a standard 5000mAh battery as with most phones nowadays. But surprisingly, it lasted longer than usual.

During our time with the realme C67, it lasted more than a day of use when going through the usual routine of browsing social media, watching videos, and checking emails.

We didn’t even have to recharge the phone overnight, and we still had juice left in the morning. Based on PCMark’s battery life test, we were able to get 18 hours and 1 minute of battery life, which is a great result.

This makes it perfect if you’re going to use the phone mainly for capturing photos and videos. And you won’t have to recharge it every time you go out to create content.

But even when you do need to recharge, the realme C67 comes with 33W fast charging. Which leads to less downtime and more time on the phone.

V. Display

The realme C67 features a  large 6.72-inch display. It might only be an LCD, but it has great color reproduction for an IPS panel. It can get quite bright as well with a peak brightness of 800 nits, allowing it to be usable under direct sunlight. But if you want it brighter, you can activate Extra Brightness in the settings to get a maximum of 950 nits.

It even features a 90Hz refresh rate for smooth UI animations, and a 180Hz touch-sampling rate for good responsiveness when you’re gaming.

In addition, you also get slim borders all around. Of course, it’s also great for checking out all the photos and videos you took with the 108MP camera.

But it’s when you’re watching videos with friends where the realme C67 shines. Despite being an entry-level smartphone, it comes with dual loudspeakers. And they’re decent for the price point, and more importantly, they’re loud. So even if you’re outside, you can be sure your group can hear whatever’s happening on the screen.

VI. Closing Thoughts

Given the realme C67’s starting price of just PHP 9,999USD 170INR 14,445EUR 162CNY 1,241 for the 8GB+128GB variant you can’t go wrong with what it has to offer.  You get a capable smartphone with a really great camera, more than adequate performance, and a long battery life for an affordable price.

If you want even more storage, there’s also an 8GB+256GB variant for PHP 10,999USD 187INR 15,889EUR 179CNY 1,365.

If you’re interested in the realme C67, you can check it out in detail via the realme Philippines website. There are various discounts, promos, and freebies available too, wherein you can get the phone for just PHP 7,699USD 131INR 11,122EUR 125CNY 955.
