The realme C65 5G is out, being the first smartphone to come equipped with the new MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset.
Despite its budget class, the realme C65 appears to be a stunner with a familiar design resembling that of a more premium lineup, the realme 12 Series.
In particular, there’s the circular camera bump albeit with fewer sensors and looking simpler. It houses a dual camera system led by a 50-megapixel main lens.
At the front, it’s a bit underwhelming, only sporting an HD+ IPS LCD panel. It compromises though with a 120Hz refresh rate, and a hole punch notch which is a welcome improvement from the dated waterdrop notches. That cutout houses an 8-megapixel selfie camera.
This model also gets a USB Type-C port which is another notable feature on a budget phone. Charging is capped to 15W paired with a 5000mAh battery.
