We’re fortunate enough to get our hands on an early unit of the new realme C55 in Sunshower color variant and here is our unboxing and initial impressions of yet again, another amazing smartphone from realme. 

Unboxing/Accessories

The realme C55 comes with the company’s signature bright yellow packaging with the big “C55” model printed on the front of the box and a small realme logo at the lower portion of the box.

What’s inside the box?

Inside the box, you will find the realme C55 handset, 33W SuperVOOC power adapter, USB Type-A to USB Type-C data/charging cable, TPU dark translucent case for protection, paper documentation, and the SIM ejection tool are all included in the box.

Build Quality/Design

The realme c55 brings nature’s wonder to your phone experience. The review unit I received was in the Sunshower color variant, which is really attractive, especially in daylight. It features a 13-layer process structure with an outward linear texture and glitter sand effect, providing a more realistic and natural display effect. The realme C55 is also available in Rainy Night and Rainforest color variants.

Furthermore, with a 7.89mm Ultra Slim Design, the realme C55 is the thinnest C-Series smartphone to date. When it comes to display, the realme C55 boasts the largest display on a realme C-Series at 17.07cm(6.72”) with a 90Hz FHD+ resolution.

The volume rocker and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner which ingeniously fuses the power button and fingerprint recognition modules are located on the right side of the device. The SIM tray, which holds two Nano SIM cards and a memory card slot is positioned on the left side. The bottom boasts a 3.5mm jack along with a USB Type-C port and the loudspeaker grille.

While the volume rocker and power button that also doubles as a fingerprint scanner are on the right side.
The SIM tray supports 2x nano SIM and 1x microSD card slot.
The bottom part of the phone has a 3.3mm audio jack, microphone, USB Type-C port, and speaker grille.

On top of the display is a punch-hole on the new realme C55 which houses the 8MP AI Selfie front camera. The Dynamic Island-like section displays a pill-shaped animation that displays your charging status, steps counter, low battery alerts, and other information. Powering this device is a massive 5,000mAh which is aided by a 33W SuperVOOC power adapter.

Overall, the new realme C55 is a great value for money in the entry-level smartphone. The phone is strong enough to handle multitasking as well as some gaming. In fact, I’ve been playing Call of Duty on this phone for two weeks and I’m impressed with how well it performs. I’ll talk more about that in my full review of this new device.

Camera

The realme C55 features a 6-megapixel Al main camera with dual 2-megapixel depth sensors that generate amazing photographs. Its 64-megapixel camera provides greater information and produces very excellent shots even at night.

The realme C55 has a AI-powered dual camera setup featuring a 64-megapixel main camera with dual 2-megapixel depth sensors.

While the selfie camera is housed in a little punch-hole on the new realme C55. It appears to be a standard Android handset, but its software function makes it look like the latest iPhone models. The Dynamic Island-like section displays a pill-shaped animation that displays your charging status, steps counter, low battery alerts, and other information.

Here are some sample photos using realme C55:
