Editorial report

Realme C17 technical sheet

The Realme C17 suits everyday use for buyers who prioritize battery capacity and expandable storage, and can accept a display with lower pixel density than most phones of its time and below-average performance. Its 5000 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones launched around the same time; wired fast charging is rated at 18 W. At 188 g, it is lighter than average.

The 6.5-inch IPS LCD display runs at 90 Hz, an average refresh rate for phones of its time. Its 270 ppi density is lower than that of most, however, and the display overall is below average. The configuration shown pairs 6 GB of RAM with 128 GB of expandable storage. The Snapdragon 460 and its AnTuTu result place performance below average, while connectivity also stands below average among phones launched around the same time.

The camera is below average, and its f/2.2 aperture is among the weakest of its time. The 13 MP main camera is joined by an 8 MP ultrawide and 2 MP macro and monochrome cameras. The Realme C17 earns a NeoScore of 4.8. It is best suited to buyers who value battery capacity and expandable storage more than screen sharpness or performance.
