The new Realme C53 is here and when we say “new”, we mean different from the C53 announced at the end of May. What has changed? The camera and charging system is the short answer.
The new Realme C53 for India
This version of the C53 is already available for pre-order in India from the Realme online store. The base price for a 4/128GB unit is ₹10,000, there is also a different 6/64GB configuration (more RAM, less storage) for ₹11,000. For comparison, a 6/64GB Realme C55 costs ₹12,000.
As the first details showed, the new C53 features a 108MP main camera, replacing the 50MP camera in the original C53. Even the C55 only has a 64MP main camera. The extra resolution gives the new phone a 3x zoom in the sensor.
Like the C55, there’s no ultra-wide-angle camera on board. There’s an 8MP selfie camera, however, in what Realme calls a “mini capsule”: the company’s version of the Dynamic Island UI. Note that this is in a notch rather than a hole.
Moving on to the other novelty, the C55, the old C53 and the new C53 have 5,000mAh batteries. However, this one has slower charging at 18W, down from 33W. Otherwise it’s pretty much identical to what we saw in May.
The new Realme C53 has a large 6.74-inch IPS LCD with 90Hz refresh rate and FHD+ (20:9) resolution. It is powered by the Unisoc T612 chipset, which is less powerful than the Helio G88 found inside the C55.
We mentioned that the two configurations of the new model have a different balance between RAM and storage. Luckily, you can easily have more of both: you can add up to 6GB of virtual RAM, and the triple card slot has room for two SIMs and a microSD (up to 2TB).
There’s a USB-C 2.0 port on the bottom, a single speaker, and a 3.5mm headphone jack. The phone is less than 8mm thick, and as you may have noticed, the back panel has a new look. You can choose between Champion Gold and Champion Black.
