Realme appears to be preparing another affordable smartphone for the Malaysian market. A new Realme smartphone called Realme C01 has been spotted on Malaysia’s SIRIM certification platform. The phone carries the same model number as the Realme C100i that is scheduled to launch in India. The same model number suggests that both could be the same smartphone with different names. Here are more details as we know for now.
Realme C01 Receives SIRIM Certification
The Malaysian SIRIM database has listed a Realme smartphone with the model number RMX5399 and the marketing name Realme C01. The device is categorised as a mobile phone, while its certification is held by DTL Malaysia Sdn Bhd.
The smartphone has received the type approval code RGQL/33L/0826/S(26-4105). The approval was granted on August 4, 2026.
While the SIRIM listing confirms the device’s regulatory approval, it does not reveal any information about its specifications, pricing or launch date in Malaysia.
Realme C01 Could be the Realme C100i
The most interesting part of the certification is the RMX5399 model number. This is the same model number associated with the upcoming Realme C100i in India.
The RMX5399 model number has also appeared on Google’s list of Play-supported devices under the Realme C100i name, further confirming its association with that smartphone.
This raises the possibility that Realme could launch the same device in Malaysia under the Realme C01 name. The connection becomes more interesting because the Realme C100i is already available in some global markets, while the Indian version is scheduled to launch on August 27, 2026.
There is an important detail to consider here. The Realme C100i available in some global markets has a different design and set of specifications compared to the version that Realme has confirmed for India.
Since the Malaysian Realme C01 and the India-bound Realme C100i both carry the RMX5399 model number, the Malaysian model could potentially be based on the upcoming Indian variant rather than the version already sold in other global markets.
The Indian Realme C100i is expected to be an affordable smartphone with a 120Hz display and a 6,500mAh battery. As of now, the complete specifications and pricing have yet to be officially revealed.
Realme C01 Malaysia Launch Timeline
The SIRIM certification does not provide any information about the specifications or availability of the Realme C01 in Malaysia. Realme has also not confirmed when the smartphone will officially launch in the country.
However, the certification suggests that the device is being prepared for the Malaysian market.
More details about the Realme C01’s specifications, price and availability are expected to emerge through future leaks or official announcements.
