Realme C100 and C100i Star in Hands-on Video; Former also Hits a Retail Listing

Realme C100 and C100i have appeared together in a fairly detailed hands-on video. No, these devices are not official yet. But this video has been going viral in Thailand as an early preview. Realme C100 is also listed on the BaNANA online store in the same region, where all its specifications were exposed. This is everything we found about these Realme phones.

The retailer has the Realme C100 listed as a 4/128GB and 6/128GB option. And they cost $215 and $230. Well, this C100 is a 5G device. That’s obviously the reason for such a high base price. The whole spec sheet was exposed by the retailer on BaNANA.  

Realme's latest C model is built around a 6.8” IPS LCD with a 144Hz refresh rate. Only 720p resolution is available on a 900nits bright panel. The shell is 8.45mm thick. It’s an IP64-rated design, by the way, with drop resistance. This C100 is justifiably thick because of the massive battery.

They’ve planted a 7000mAh cell inside this newcomer. Its input is a bit slow at only 15W. There’s a Type C port here, and a headphone jack. Even an SD card can be mounted on the phone. There’s already 128GB of built-in storage on the C100. And the newcomer runs everything on a Dimensity 6300 chip.

There’s a single 50MP camera on the back. A 5MP selfie shooter is on the front inside a notch. We may see a fingerprint on the side. Realme C100 and C100i both have Android 16 Realme UI 7 by default. There’s no retailer listing for the other C100i version, but whoever leaked the hands-on video also shared the phone’s specs.

Realme C100i is also supposed to have the same 7000mAh battery and slow 15W input. It even has a matching 6.8” IPS LCD, but the refresh rate is lowered to 120Hz with a 720p HD+ resolution. The “i” version is actually a 4G phone, so it’s going to be way cheaper. 

There was a Geekbench listing for the Realme C100i. And it showed a Unisoc UMS9230 (T616 or T606) chip inside the phone at just 1.8GHz. This is a 12nm platform. The device also has an IP64 rating and drop safety. It measures 8.35mm, thinner than the C100. This kind of leak only appears when the launch is days away. Keep watching the news for updates.
