The Realme C75, officially launched in late 2024 and hitting markets in early 2025, raises the bar for durability in the budget smartphone segment. Built tough yet practical, it’s designed for users who need a reliable daily driver that can handle water, drops, and long days without charging.
Design & Display
The standout feature of the C75 is its rugged design. With IP69, IP68, and IP66 certifications, it’s resistant to submersion, dust, and even high-pressure water jets. Add in MIL-STD-810H military-grade protection and ArmorShell™ Glass, and you get a phone that’s far tougher than the average budget device.
Up front, you get a 6.72-inch FHD+ IPS LCD (2400 × 1080) with a 90Hz refresh rate and 690 nits peak brightness. It’s not OLED, but colors are sharp, motion feels smooth, and it’s bright enough for outdoor use.
Performance & Software
Running on the MediaTek Helio G92 Max (12nm), the C75 handles daily tasks, multitasking, and casual gaming without breaking a sweat. Paired with 6GB or 8GB RAM and up to 256GB UFS 2.1 storage (expandable via microSD), it offers plenty of breathing room for apps, files, and photos.
Cameras
On the back, you get a 50MP f/1.8 main sensor with PDAF, backed by a secondary lens. Shots are crisp in good lighting, and the included Text Scanner mode makes document capture easy. For selfies and video calls, there’s an 8MP front camera. Both front and rear record 1080p at 30fps — simple but effective for its class.
Battery Life
Powering it all is a massive 6000mAh battery, which can easily stretch to two days of use. When you do need to charge, 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging gets it to 100% in about 90 minutes. It even supports reverse wired charging, so you can top up other devices in a pinch.
Price & Value
Priced between ₦252,000 – ₦285,000 (around $165 – $190 USD), the Realme C75 delivers a unique mix of durability, performance, and longevity rarely seen in its price bracket.
Verdict
The Realme C75 isn’t just another budget phone — it’s a workhorse built to survive real-world conditions. With military-grade toughness, multi-day battery life, and a smooth 90Hz display, it offers unbeatable value for anyone who needs a phone that won’t quit when life gets rough.
