A massive discount awaits Realme C61 buyers in Pakistan. This device was unveiled in the local market several months ago, and it has aged quite well with its solid hardware setup and extended warranty of up to 24 months. Realme C61 (18GB* + 128GB) was originally priced at Rs 32,999, but now it’s been given a price cut for better affordability.
Realme C61 drops its Pakistani price tag from Rs 32,999 to Rs 30,999, offering potential new buyers up to Rs 2,000 off at retail. At this price point, the phone has a perfectly justifiable spec sheet. If you decide to purchase this device, these are the features you can expect from the Realme C61.
This phone comes with up to a 24-month warranty for starters, which proves how confident Realme is in C61’s strength. This device is built with durability in mind, and it brings a drop protection design with a water/dust resistant IP54 rating. Realme even provided a 4-year battery health guarantee.
Realme C61 is also comfortable to hold, thanks to its 7.8mm thickness. At the front of the C61, we find a 90Hz display, decently sized at 6.74” with HD+ or 720p resolution. The notch on new Realme 4G mobile's forehead is outdated, but the display is mostly uninterrupted and serviceable for an average consumer.
Another thing we feel could have been improved is the aged Unisoc platform inside the Realme C61, more specifically, a 1.8GHz Unisoc T612 SoC with 6GB physical RAM. Also note that the adverts you see for this device show a virtual extended figure of 18 GB memory. Realme C61 actually allows 12GB of its storage to be used as virtual RAM, hence the number.
There are two lenses on the rear camera array: a 50MP (primary lens) with PDAF + 0.08MP (auxiliary lens) with f/3.0 aperture. Out of those two, only the first one is functional. Disappointingly, however, C61’s front camera only has a 5MP selfie snapper, so keep that in mind if you decide to purchase it.
This model has a side fingerprint ID, which is to be expected at this price. C61 can easily handle a full-day run with its 5000mAh battery, though it does take some time to fully charge due to its slow 15W charging support. Still, at PKR 30,999, this phone is very competitive within its price bracket. Its successor, the Realme C63, brings notable upgrades like 45W fast charging and a 50MP camera.
