Realme’s C-series has long catered to the budget segment, focusing on stylish designs, large displays, and reliable everyday performance at aggressive price points. Now, a new entrant, the Realme C100 5G, appears to be the next launch, with multiple listings suggesting an official launch could happen soon.
The device, carrying the model number RMX5258, has surfaced on Thailand’s NBTC certification database, cleared EU certification, and was also briefly listed on Amazon Italy, though without revealing its pricing.
The Realme C100 5G (RMX5258) was spotted on the NBTC certification platform, confirming the device’s name and 5G connectivity support. NBTC listings typically indicate that a launch in Thailand could be near, as brands secure local regulatory approvals ahead of release.
In addition, the handset has also cleared EU certification, hinting at a broader international rollout. Adding further weight to launch speculation, the handset has been listed on Amazon Italy’s website. The listing revealed a 4GB RAM and 128GB storage configuration and confirmed a “Sprouting Green” colour option, although pricing details were not disclosed.
The Amazon listing also reveals the Realme C100 will feature a 6.75-inch display featuring a notch. In 2026, even budget smartphones have largely transitioned to punch-hole cutouts, making the use of a traditional waterdrop-style notch feel somewhat dated. This design could place the device slightly behind competitors in terms of visual appeal. That said, buyers in this segment often prioritise screen size and battery endurance over cutting-edge aesthetics, and a large 6.75-inch panel may still appeal to users focused on streaming, browsing, and casual gaming.
More details about the Realme C100 are expected to surface soon, and we could see the phone launch early, too. Since its specs are still under wraps, we can’t say much about what to expect from the phone. Still, the Realme C100 5G could be worth considering if it launches at an aggressive price point and delivers reliable everyday performance. Those who prioritise modern design elements such as punch-hole displays or slimmer bezels may want to compare alternatives once official specifications and pricing are revealed.
As things stand, with certifications secured and retail listings emerging, the Realme C100 5G appears poised for an official announcement in the near future.
