Cheap mobile phone with more than decent hardware
The Realme C65 isn’t the most powerful on the market and doesn’t aspire to be that, but it promises smooth operation thanks to the balanced hardware inside and its updated software for Android 14. Additionally, Realme has obtained independent certification from Tüv Rheinland which guarantees up to 4 years of good operation. It’s not bad to have it in writing.
The chosen SoC seems too old to us at this stage: the Realme C65 integrates a MediaTek Helio G85 from four years ago. It’s a cheap cell phone, that’s for sure; without losing RAM and storage: up to 8 GB and 256 GB, respectively.
The screen is large, up to 6.67 inches. IPS LCD for panel technology, HD+ resolution with refresh rate up to 90 Hza discreet peak brightness of 625 nits (for HDR content) and a top punch-hole for the 8-megapixel front camera.
Speaking of cameras: our protagonist offers a rear pair of which the main one is usable: his 50 megapixel sensor
In the rest of the specifications, the Realme C65 stands out for its 5,000 mAh battery and its 45 W fast charging; with the disadvantage that the charger does not come in the phone box. It’s protected against the elements and IP54 certified, it has stereo speakers and the fingerprint reader is capacitive and is mounted on the right side, right on the power button.
