The new model is a surefire budget pleaser but delivers a premium experience way more satisfying than most of its contemporaries.
realme is pushing forward in its effort to serve the budget-minded segment of the local demographic. In October, on the heels of the success of its C-series and other entry-level models, including the majestic C31 and the best-selling Realme Narzo 50i Prime, realme unleashed its most recent entry-level phone, C33, which is a monster on its own.
One can say it outperforms most other units in its price range. An attractive price tag of PhP7,499 made the unit easy on the wallet.
realme C33 is a step up from its predecessor C31, with its most noticeable upgrade being its rear camera, which now boasts a powerful 50MP+0.3MP rear camera. A 5MP front camera is also a special feature that selfie lovers will definitely give a thumbs up for. Like its predecessor, C33 is made more attractive by its 8.3mm Ultra Slim Boundless Sea Design. Its 6.5” HD+ LCD Display and 720×1600 pixel resolution, are also added attributes that make the unit an irresistible beauty.
Seamless user-friendly design
A plus point that makes the C33 truly a bang-for-buck deal is its ergonomic design. Aside from its aesthetic body build, the unit’s rounded edges make it easy and convenient to use, even with one hand. The easy grip feature of the bezel-less phone also ensures that screen navigation with fingers is a smooth, hassle-free task. The phone comes in Aqua Blue and Night Sea variants.
Power and Performance
Running on a 5000mAh heavy-duty battery, C33 is generous in allowing its user to accomplish multiple tasks. Heavy gamers can definitely find better models, but its 12nm Octa-core, Unisoc Tiger T612 processor, surely has wonders to offer. The unit is equipped with two Cortex-A75 cores that have a refresh rate of 1.82 GHz, for seamless app-to-app switching.
Prospective buyers can choose among 32GB 3GB RAM, 64GB 4GB RAM, and 128GB 4GB RAM variants. Each is expandable via the microSDXC slot. Sporting a Mali-G57 GPU processor, the C33 provides no disappointment when it comes to accomplishing low-level tasks.
Cameras
Given its 50MP primary camera, the new unit is a must-buy upgrade for C31 and earlier-model users. The powerful shooter offers realistic colors and decent dynamics, even in the low-light environment—thanks to its night mode feature. Of course, there remains a big room for improvement, but not without an upward nudge in the price. Video recording is at a maximum 720p resolution—C33 is undoubtedly already decent for its price. The front-facing camera can produce decent shots but in the presence of a generous light.
With the many perks it offers at a budget-friendly price tag, in mind, C33 can definitely stand formidable against other models in its price range. That said, C33 can be a real stunner this Christmas, especially for your relatives and ‘inaanaks’, who may be hoping to receive a new phone from their tito and tita, or ninong and ninang!
