Realme has officially launched the Realme C53 in India as scheduled. This device is slightly different from the Realme C53 sold in Southeast Asia, which goes by Realme Narzo N53 in India.
The Realme C53 for India comes with three key differences. It has a tweaked design, a better rear camera, and a slower charging speed.
Starting with its design, this version of Realme C53 copied that of the iPhone Pro models. It has flat sides and three separate circular islands on the rear for cameras and an LED flashlight. These circular modules are placed directly on the back panel rather than on a platform like on the Southeast Asian variant of the phone.
The handset flaunts a 6.74-inch LCD screen with a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels (HD+) and a 90Hz refresh rate. The display has a dewdrop notch and a 90.3% screen-to-body ratio. It supports up to a 180Hz touch sampling rate and 560 nits peak brightness level.
Further, the smartphone is powered by a Unisoc T612 chip and boots Realme UI T Edition based on Android 13. This chipset is paired with LPDDR4x RAM and eMMC 5.1 storage.
For photography and videography, the device uses a 108MP main instead of a 50MP sensor like the Southeast Asian version. But the secondary monochrome sensor and the 8MP selfie camera remain the same.
On the connectivity front, the phone offers support for dual SIM, 4G, dual-band WiFi, and Bluetooth 5.0. It also comes with a MicroSD card slot, a 3.5mm headphone jack, and a USB Type-C port.
Last but not least, the handset draws energy from a 5,000mAh battery and is limited to 18W charging instead of 33W like the other variant.
