realme C35: Next generation technology

realme has become one of the go-to brands for budget consumers, sharing the space with Xiaomi. One of its best-selling budget handsets is the realme C35, which packs a formidable camera module, a large battery, and a decent display. On all counts, the realme C35 punches above its weight and offers more features than most other phones in its segment. However, you still have a few decent Redmi handsets and POCO smartphones that can push the device to its limits.

realme C35 still brings a lot to the table. At its nominal price point, it packs an AI triple camera, fast charging support, a vibrant display, and an 8.1 mm slim profile. Is it the most preferrable smartphone if you want a budget handset? We try to answer this – and a few other questions by taking a closer look at the device.

Pros

  • Large, colourful display
  • Bold design
  • Excellent cameras

Cons

  • Performance is found wanting
  • Low refresh rate
  • Poor battery life

Features and specification of realme C35

Design and display

The realme C35 offers a 6.6-inch Full HD+ display – certainly one of the largest in its price range. The device's front is crowded with large bezels and a waterdrop-style notch, making it feel large to hold. Despite its size, it weighs a relatively light 189 g and has an 8.1 mm depth. The back panel lacks curves, featuring flat edges on all sides. While this design choice looks cool, the sharp edges can be uncomfortable. The bottom houses the usual USB-C port, 3.5mm headphone jack, and speaker grille, while the side-mounted power button also serves as the fingerprint sensor.

If you do not like large phones, you might want to give this handset a pass. With its 6.6-inch display, it can be too big to hold. However, if you like to consume content like movies, shows, or play games in your smartphone, you will enjoy this device. realme C35 also offers 600 nits of peak brightness, which can be helpful, while its 60Hz refresh rate is slightly underwhelming.

Performance

The realme C35 is powered by the Unisoc Tiger T616 octa-core processor based on a relatively old 12nm platform. You may face issues while executing demanding tasks or while running multiple apps at the same time. You might even experience an unsatisfactory gaming performance in BGMI. Benchmark scores for this handset have been average, even for a budget device, with Geekbench 5 multi-core at 1,274 and AnTuTu overall score at 187,040. The phone offers 4GB or 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 64GB or 128GB of UFS 2.2 storage. However, this handset fares better than the moto G22 and Nokia G21 in terms of performance.

Cameras

The camera setup on the realme C35 includes a 50MP Samsung S5KJN1 primary shooter, a 2MP Macro lens, and a Black and White sensor. In well-lit conditions, photos turn out decent with ample detail, but shaded areas may appear softly focused. Colours appear slightly washed out, but auto HDR and AI Scene Recognition help improve the situation. The Portrait Mode's edge detection can be hit or miss depending on the complexity of the subject. The Macro lens performs better in good lighting. Low-light shots benefit from the dedicated Night Mode, capturing reasonable details, albeit with occasional lens flaring. The 8MP AI selfie camera produces overprocessed facial details but accurately captures skin tones.
