Realme C55 8GB RAM 256GB

The Realme C55 8GB RAM 256GB comes in Realme’s signature yellow-colored retail box, including a protective case, a SIM ejector tool, some paperwork, a USB-C cable, and a 33W SuperVOOC power adapter (yes, Realme’s back to the VOOC branding).

The C55 packs a 6.72″ FullHD+ 90Hz LCD with a 90Hz screen refresh rate and a peak brightness of 680 nits. The panel has a centered punch hole for the 8MP selfie camera, and it supports the Mini Capsule feature, which can show the battery charging status, data usage, and step count.

Out of the box, the Mini Capsule only shows the battery status. Its dynamic light will turn red when the phone’s battery reaches 5%, blue when it’s charging, and green when it’s fully charged. Support for data usage and steps count will be rolled out through OTA. Our unit already received one update weighing about 1.2GB, but it didn’t bring these features. If the next update brings those, you will find them under the C55’s Settings > Realme Lab > Mini Capsule menu.

Around the back, the Realme C55 sports two huge circles housing 64MP primary and 2MP depth cameras. These are placed inside a camera island that doesn’t protrude (the cameras do, causing the phone to wobble on flat surfaces) as the camera islands on most other smartphones do, but it has a glossy finish and attracts fingerprint smudges, unlike the rest of the panel that has a matte finish and doesn’t get smudged easily.
