Realme C series phones will now be branded in hundreds. That’s usually how the Chinese phones transcend from double-digit names to triple digits. Realme C100 5G has been found in an unofficial product listing at a retail store in France. The Gomibo site had all of Realme C100’s specs, with renders and a price tag.
The specs seem legit. The same goes for the images. The listing was published by the vendor unintentionally. After all, it’s too early for the Realme C85 5G to be replaced by another version. Anyway, the site showed a design that’s a little different from the older phone.
Realme C85 5G had a raised camera island. But the Realme C100 has all three cameras thrown on the back without a middle plate. The newcomer doesn’t look as aggressive. The ring Halo light is gone. It looks less cluttered, but at the cost of some functionality.
They didn’t switch the processor. Realme C100 will once again carry the Dimensity 6300 SoC at a 2.4GHz boost clock. The iGPU is Mali G57, which is pretty good at gaming. The equivalent 4G device may not be as fast for processing or graphics. By the way, the OS has been updated on the C100.
The newcomer’s specs sheet has a lot in common with the older model. But at least it has a new OS version. You will be given the new Android 16 platform. Realme has its own custom Realme UI 7 skin for it. Sadly, only 4GB RAM is suspected on the Realme C100. It’s barely able to handle that new operating system.
It’s just a tad thicker than the previous model with the same screen. The chassis measures 8.45mm. It looks like a normal phone. But the design is quite rugged. SGS gave it an MIL-STD-810H certification. There are two colors buyers can pick: Green or Purple.
Nothing has changed for the camera or the battery on the Realme C100. A 50MP main shooter is used on the back, and the rest of the lenses are decorative. The selfie camera is actually downgraded to 5MP. It’s still a 7,000 mAh phone, probably with 45W charging. Gomibo listed two versions of the Realme C100 5G. 128GB model goes for €237, which is PKR 76,000 (converted). There’s also a 256GB trim for €256 (~PKR 82,000).
