Realme C71 has officially launched in Pakistan, targeting the budget segment. While it brings a few standout features like a massive 6300 mAh battery, 45W charging, and a durable build, this phone is not without its compromises. Here you’ll find everything you need to know about the Realme C71.
This device has an IPS 6.67” display with a 120Hz refresh rate. It sounds decent enough on paper, but its visuals fall flat due to its basic 720p resolution. Its main competition, the Infinix Hot 50, has a bigger 6.78” LCD and a sharper 1080p resolution, making the Realme C71 feel outdated in comparison.
Even in the camera department, the Realme C71 leaves much to be desired. Its 5MP selfie shooter is barely passable, especially when you compare it to devices like the Hot 50, which offers a better 8MP selfie sensor. Around the back, it sticks to a generic 50MP main + auxiliary lens combo that feels recycled across dozens of budget phones in 2025.
Then, we have the Realme’s latest budget mobile's chipset. It runs a Unisoc T7250 chip, which trails far behind the newer and more capable Helio G100 SoC that powers the Infinix Hot 50 and many other entry-level devices. It will have noticeably slower app response times, occasional stutters, and reduced efficiency. All of it is made worse by the platform’s LPDDR4X RAM and sluggish eMMC 5.1 storage.
Add in Realme UI 6 over Android 15, and you’re dealing with firmware so heavy that the chip is barely able to handle it. Among other hold-ups, this phone has a substantial lack of flair. It's the same basic design we found on the Realme C75 ages ago. However, credit where the credit's due, Realme has done a fantastic job, fitting a 6,300mAh battery into a 7.79mm chassis here.
Not only does the C71 have a bigger cell than any other device on the market, but it also has the fastest charging at 45W. Within its price range, most phones only offer 18W to 33W, so the Realme C71 buyers will have a solid advantage.
Realme C71 redeems itself again on the durability front. It has a military-grade shockproof chassis wrapped in Forest Owl and White Swan finishes. There’s a Dynamic Glow Light on the back, which has seven different colors and five customizable flash modes for notifications.
The company even secured an IP64 rating for the device and managed to squeeze a bunch of AI tools inside C71’s firmware. Google Gemini circle to search, AI Noise Reduction Call 2.0, AI Image Matting, AI Clear Face, and AI Eraser 2.0 are all part of the package here. You also get a 400% audio boost from its speakers. Realme C71 is set to hit store shelves in Pakistan on May 24th. Pricing starts at Rs. 35,999 for the 6GB+128GB variant, while the 8GB+128GB option will cost Rs. 39,999.
