Realme C67 5G Review: Build and Design

The Realme C67 5Gshowcases an innovative design with a gradient light effect on its rear panel, reminiscent of some of the previous Realme Narzo series design styles.

My Green colour variant particularly exhibits enhanced clarity and a bit of dazzle when exposed to light.

Its design focuses on slimness and flat edges, ensuring it’s comfortable to hold and carry.

The Realme C67 5G, with its weight of approximately 190 grams and thin profile of 7.89 mm, is not just sleek but also practical.

It also boasts an IP54 rating a novelty at its price tag.

Finally, on the left side, you’ll find a dual SIM tray that supports 5G capabilities and a microSD card slot while on the bottom there’s a USB Type-C port, a loudspeaker, a microphone (with an additional one at the top), and a 3.5 mm headphone jack.

Realme C67 5G Review: Display

The display of the Realme C67 5G is a noteworthy feature in the sub-Rs 15,000 category, encompassing a 6.72-inch IPS LCD panel.

It offers Full HD+ resolution (2400 x 1080 pixels) complemented by a high refresh rate of 120 Hz.

I used the phone extensively over multiple days for media consumption and the device did not disappoint.

The phone also has a good peak brightness at 650nits which doesn’t give any trouble even under bright sunny conditions.

The responsiveness is further enhanced by a 240 Hz touch sampling rate.

With a screen-to-body ratio of 91.4%, the C67 offers an expansive area which doesn’t hurt its video-showing capabilities.

Realme C67 5G Review: Cameras

The device is equipped with a dual-camera setup on the rear and a capable front-facing camera, both designed to cater to various photography needs.

At the heart of its imaging prowess lies the 50 MP AI main camera, a sensor capable of capturing fine details with remarkable clarity.

This primary camera is complemented by a 2 MP depth sensor, which aids in achieving depth-of-field effects, particularly beneficial for portrait shots.

50 MP Primary Camera: In my testing, the high-resolution sensor of the main camera is adept at capturing images with vivid colours and sharp details. Whether it’s landscape photography or close-up shots, the camera manages to retain texture and clarity, making every picture look lively.
2 MP Depth Sensor: This is a secondary sensor placed more as an afterthought that for serving any proper utility.
Front Camera: The Realme C67 5G also features an 8 MP punch-hole selfie camera, ingeniously integrated into the display. My experience with the selfies being churned out of the device was satisfactory though nothing to brag about.

Realme C67 5G Review: Additional Camera Features and Modes

The Realme C67 5G’s camera system has an array of features and modes that did enhance the device’s day-to-day shooting capabilties.

Portrait Mode: Utilizes the depth sensor to create a blurred background, focusing attention on the subject.
It’s ideal usage for was capturing people and pets, providing professional-looking results although with a decent amount of fringing on the edges
Night Mode (Super Nightscape Mode): This mode is also acceptable, as it enhances low-light photography.
It works by capturing multiple shots at different exposures and combining them to produce a well-lit, detailed image with reduced noise.
However, it amps up the colour saturation levels unnaturally.
Street Mode: A unique addition that caters to the growing interest in street photography.
This mode likely adjusts settings to capture the vibrancy and dynamism of urban environments effectively.
