has a large battery and costs less than 150 euros

Realme has not stopped during this summer, and the company has unveiled in Spain its new realme GT 6T, and has presented globally the new realme 13 series. Now, before the end of the month of August, the Chinese manufacturer has wanted to renew its entry-level range with two new devices..

It has done so with the launch of the new realme C63 and realme C61. In EL ESPAÑOL – El Androide Libre we have been able to analyze this latest device to see what it has to offer the user, and the truth is that it is one of the most different alternatives that exist in its price range.

For starters, it is a mobile that promises to be resistant to falls and water, a function of the most interesting considering that it is a mobile. whose price starts at 149 euros. A really cheap alternative for those looking to not spend too much money on their new mobile.

Micro-etched design

This realme C61 features a fairly polished aesthetic section. For starters, all of its edges are flat, giving it a aesthetics adapted to current market trends. It has a back that is also completely flat, without any kind of curve on the back. One of its great advantages is that, according to the brand, it is resistant to falls from one meter, making it not going to break with the slightest blow.

The company has decided that although it is an entry-level mobile, it should not neglect this section, and the truth is that you can see the interest they have put in making it look good aesthetically. Its rear, unlike other models of the brand such as the realme 12, it is located in a module at the top left.

In this module we find two sensors accompanied by the LED flash, which is located in a circumference of the same size as the cameras, making it look more harmonious. Both the edges and the camera module match perfectly with the color of the back sideThe other models are available in green, although the same is true for the other colors available.

It should also be noted that this rear has some micro engravings that will only be seen when the light hits it in a certain way. on the device. Its buttons are located on the right side, while the charging port and the 3.5 mm jack are on the lower margin. As the only point against would be the presence of the front camera in a drop-shaped notch, although it is somewhat understandable considering how tight its price is. Finally, it should be noted that the mobile has a rugged construction that makes it withstand shocks well, according to the company itself, and also has IP54 water and dust resistance.

Decent screen

The screen of this device is quite curious, since despite only reaching HD resolution (1600 x 720 pixels) it is a quite interesting panel. by the 90 Hz with which it has its refresh rate. Thanks to these, you can enjoy greater fluidity in day-to-day use, which many users value over resolution.

The size of this LCD screen is 6.75 inches, so it is not a small and compact mobile, but it is a good alternative for consuming multimedia content and surfing the Internet. It has two sensors to detect ambient light and provide a better experience with automatic brightness.

In the same way, it integrates the possibility of reducing the brightness of the screen to as low as 1 nit. This will make it possible to use the device at night. without straining the eyes and without being dazzled by the illumination of the screen.. In fact, it is a great alternative for this type of situation. The downside is that its maximum brightness is only 561 nits, so it will be somewhat more difficult to see it properly under direct sunlight.

Fair in power, great battery

This realme C61 is not a mobile that is characterized by its great power. It has a Unisoc Tiger T606 processor, thanks to which it will be able to perform all kinds of tasks, from browsing social networks to playing the occasional game.. However, you may encounter problems with the heavier work.

The model we tested features a RAM memory of 4 GB, which can be increased by another 4 GB. through the use of virtual RAM, a feature that is integrated as standard and is highly recommended, since the base can soon start to fall short. As for internal storage, it has 128 GB with the possibility of increasing it using a microSD card.

One of the great strengths of this device is that in addition to having a large battery, the firm promises that its health will remain at a good level for at least 4 years.. This is ideal for the longevity of the device, since it will preserve one of its best features. For this, they use different charging algorithms that reduce the natural wear of the battery.

As for the autonomy of the mobile, thanks to its 5,000 mAh capacity, it does not have any problem when it comes to holding up throughout the day The device is ideal to take on excursions or to work, even if we know that we are not going to be able to charge it all day. Even with heavier use it will be able to hold up, thanks also to its lower screen resolution. Its fast charging is better than some of its competitors, reaching up to 45W.

A discreet camera

The main sensor of this realme C61 has a resolution of 50 Mpx. It is a generous amount, but its quality is far from that of other cameras of the same resolution in mid-range and high-end cell phones. In this case, it is intended more for occasional use than for constant use.

During the day it is capable of taking some decent images, as long as there is good lighting and placement. Despite this, a higher level of detail and greater color differentiation is lacking.. Its secondary sensor is dedicated to portrait mode, so we will not be able to take ultrawide images, although the good thing is that its main camera is quite wide in this regard.

Basically, it’s a camera for not getting too complicated and take pictures to send them to our contacts or to capture important memories, but it does not offer a performance at the level of mid-range phones, but it is a step behind.

Should I buy it?

If there is one thing that is clear is that this realme mobile is looking to enter the market competing with a very tight price of only 149 euros. This means that there are certain points, such as the camera or the screen, in which we are going to get a performance like the mid-range. However, its price is 100 euros lower than many phones belonging to this segment.

Overall, it is a mobile capable of performing many tasks, such as browsing social networks, internet queries, taking notes and even playing the occasional video game.. This makes it not a bad option for people who only use the positive one moderately.

Thanks to its construction, which is drop resistant, then it can be quite useful for younger users and for those people who often drop phones from the hand. This extra in terms of resistance is quite interesting, since I can make the mobile hold more with life, and also also has IP54 water resistance. If you are looking for a cheap mobile, with great battery and withstand shocks well.This is one of the best options on the market, and the best thing is that its design goes well with it.
