Editorial report

Realme C51 6 GB / 256 GB / International technical sheet

The Realme C51 suits anyone looking for a basic phone with a large display and a 50 MP rear camera. The trade-off is a 260 ppi density among the lowest of phones from its time, alongside performance among the weakest. It is an entry-level option, not a pick for anyone prioritizing power.

Its IPS LCD display measures 6.74 inches, refreshes at 90 Hz and reaches 560 nits peak brightness. The refresh rate is lower than that of most phones of its time, while pixel density and brightness are worse than most. At 186 g and 8 mm thick, the body is lighter and thinner than most phones launched around the same time.

The rear camera has 50 MP resolution and records video at 1080p at 30 fps; its 1/2.76-inch sensor is smaller than most. The 5,000 mAh battery supports 33 W charging, both typical figures for phones of its time. Android 13, NFC, USB-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack and dual Nano-SIM round out the features. This version has 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage; 4 GB / 128 GB and 6 GB / 256 GB configurations are also sold.

With a NeoScore of 4.5, the Realme C51 is an entry-level phone for everyday tasks, as long as performance and a particularly sharp display are not priorities.
