realme C53 128GB Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ashish Kumar]()
Verdict
The Realme C53 feels just about right for its asking price of under Rs 10,000. It provides adequate performance for basic everyday activities and even outperforms its competitors in benchmarking scores. The device boasts respectable battery life and a good display. However, the cameras on the device fall a tad short of expectations.
Pros
- Good display
- Decent battery life
- Adequate performance for everyday use
Cons
- Cameras could have been better
- Bloatware
Design and display
+
The Realme C53 design may look familiar to those who have been keeping track of the brand's smartphones. The handset is fashioned out of plastic and features a dual-tone design at the back, with the top portion being glossy and the bottom portion having a matte finish. I received the Realme C53 review unit in Champion Gold, which is too glittery for my taste. Personally, I would have preferred the Champion Black colour variant.

Cameras

Coming to the meat of the matter — Realme C53's 108MP primary camera. It outputs 12MP images by default. Of course, you can also click high-res 108MP images from the phone. The camera demonstrates swift focus and shutter speeds, especially in areas with adequate lighting conditions. However, the shots that you get may leave you wanting more. While the camera is good at picking up details in bright sunny conditions, it struggles to maintain a proper contrast ratio, resulting in oversaturated colours. Moreover, even with the HDR mode enabled, the images lack dynamic range.

Performance and software

On the performance front, the Realme C53 is equipped with an entry-level Unisoc T612 SoC paired with 4GB or 6GB RAM. Interestingly enough, the 6GB RAM variant has 64GB storage onboard, whereas the 4GB RAM option is available with 128GB storage. Both storage options are user-expandable via a micro SD card for which there is a dedicated slot in the phone.

Battery and charging speeds
+
The Realme C53 houses a 5,000mAh battery, which gets you more than a day's battery life on light usage. This is evident from the handset's PCMark 3.0 battery test where it landed a score of 18 hours and 30 minutes. However, navigation and some gaming might reduce the phone's battery life till the end of the day.
