With the recent launch of the C60, the budget market in Vietnam has gained a formidable competitor. realme is determined to deliver a product that not only comes at an affordable price but also offers great features, ushering in a new era in the budget smartphone segment.
This product has sparked a new wave among consumers, expanding choices for those seeking a smartphone that fits their budget without compromising on quality. In this article, let's explore the just-released realme C60 to see what makes it attractive beyond its price point!
Unboxing the realme C60
Taking a look at the realme C60's box, what immediately catches the eye is its design: A distinctive yellow box with the logo and product name clearly printed, creating a familiar, unmistakable feel unique to realme devices.
Opening the box, inside we find everything necessary for a smartphone: Firstly, detailed usage instructions and a SIM ejector tool, helping you grasp the features of the device quickly. Next is the realme C60 phone with its front-facing screen.
The realme C60 also comes with a charger with a slightly low charging power, only 10W, a USB cable, and a translucent gray back cover. Everything is neatly arranged in the box, creating an enjoyable unboxing experience. All accessories are of high quality, in line with realme's motto of providing maximum convenience and benefits to users.
Design
Looking at the device, we immediately notice a familiar design that the predecessor realme C series has used. It features a square frame with rounded corners, allowing for comfortable grip without any sharp edges. The design, though simple, still exudes strength and personality for the realme C60.
The color options of the realme C60 are not extensive but sufficient to provide choices for users. You can choose between two colors: blue and black. Especially, I currently have the blue variant in hand, which gives me a youthful, dynamic feeling. Although just a feeling, this blue color somewhat brings a cool sensation amidst the scorching Saigon sun.
Particularly, the back of the realme C60 is divided into two sections with a notable difference in finish. The upper part of the back is designed smooth, glossy, reflective, giving a sleek yet luxurious feel. Meanwhile, the lower part brings a more rugged and robust sensation with its textured, prominent structure.
What's even more interesting is the cluster of cameras on the realme C60. Its arrangement bears a resemblance to products from the Cupertino giant, lending the realme C60 an impressive and eye-catching look. Indeed, when you put on the back cover, it's quite easy to mistake it for something else at first glance.
The camera cluster isn't centrally aligned like other phone models but is placed separately, minimizing protrusion to the maximum compared to the back surface. Hence, issues like scratching the camera surface or wobbling when placed on a table are also minimized.
Regarding the arrangement of small details, the volume buttons, power button are all scientifically arranged and convenient when shifted to one side. Opposite is where the SIM card slot is located.
The top edge of the realme C60 has no ports, while the bottom edge houses the external speaker, charging port, and 3.5mm headphone jack.
Display
One aspect I really appreciate is the screen size of the realme C60. With a large 6.74-inch display, watching videos and playing games on the realme C60 becomes quite comfortable. However, the downside of having a large screen is that it might be a bit challenging if you have small hands when holding and using the realme C60.
In this version, the company employs the waterdrop screen design principle, along with slim bezels on all sides except for the chin which remains relatively thick.
In terms of display quality, it's quite demanding. I feel this version has a slightly recessed screen compared to the previously released C55, as the C60's screen only has HD+ resolution instead of Full HD+ like the C50. Perhaps this is the company's way of optimizing its cost as the price of the C60 is about 30 - 40% lower despite being in the same series.
With IPS LCD, the viewing angles of the realme C60 are quite wide and the colors are relatively true to life. However, it's worth noting that IPS LCD is a budget technology, so it may not match AMOLED in terms of vibrant colors or high contrast.
This version still supports the full 90Hz refresh rate and Panda toughened glass, both of which deliver smoother and more durable experiences.
Camera
The camera section on the realme C60 is also a factor ensuring the quality of this product. Equipped with an ideal camera system including a 13MP main rear camera and a 0.08MP auxiliary camera, along with a 50MP front camera.
Overall, the camera of the realme C60 only meets basic photo-taking needs, and for a price under 3 million Vietnamese dong, it's not particularly outstanding. Similar to other smartphones in this price segment.
Configuration
In terms of configuration, the realme C60 is truly a noteworthy choice in its price segment. This phone is equipped with the Unisoc Tiger T612 chip, along with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. In terms of performance, the device achieves an Antutu score of 245,243 and a single-core score of 424, and a multi-core score of 1,499 on Geekbench 6, which is considered decent for a device in the sub-3-million range.
Overall, with these scores, the realme C60 can meet all daily needs smoothly and efficiently, from web browsing, music listening, movie watching to playing some games like Tốc Chiến, at a moderate configuration level.
Battery and Charging
The realme C60 is equipped with a 5000mAh battery and 10W charging capacity, basically these are familiar specs on budget models so there's nothing particularly outstanding. This battery can provide usage time from 1 to 2 days depending on the tasks as the device doesn't consume too much energy due to its low-resolution screen.
Should You Buy the realme C60
The realme C60 is an excellent choice for ordinary users who basically want to choose an affordable, stable device for communication or are looking to upgrade from an old 2G device to a new smartphone. You'll get good camera quality, long-lasting battery, and stable performance at a reasonable price of only 2,790,000 VND.
However, if you're seeking a device from realme to experience modern, smooth technologies, then the realme C60 might not be the suitable choice for you. Because it's specially designed to meet basic needs rather than aiming for high-performance experiences. So if your budget allows, you might consider some of realme's higher-end smartphone models.
