While its low-light photography might not excite camera enthusiasts, the smartphone is an easy recommendation for power users seeking a capable budget 5G device.
Pros
- Smooth 120Hz display
- Excellent performance
- Impressive battery life
- Good daylight cameras
Cons
- Touch response is inconsistent while gaming
- Brightness could be better
Design
+
Realme seems to be streamlining the design of its smartphone lineup, with the Realme C65 5G taking a page from the recently launched Realme P series smartphones. The C65 sports the same feather-like design elements and a round camera module at the back that looks similar to a watch face. At first glance, the smartphone looks nearly identical to the Realme P1 5G (review), but some subtle differences become visible when it's observed closely.

Display

The Realme C65 5G features a 6.67-inch IPS LCD panel, with HD+ (720 x 1604p) resolution, a high refresh rate of 120Hz and a peak brightness level of 650nits. The phone boasts the highest refresh rate in the sub-Rs 10K segment currently, with 90Hz as the current standard. The UI and apps are well optimised for the high refresh rate, and it elevates day-to-day usage with a buttery smooth scrolling experience. The display offers satisfactory viewing angles and is comparatively brighter than some of its counterparts in the segment.

The Realme C65 5G features a 50MP AI primary camera with an f/1.8 aperture alongside a 2MP secondary lens. At the front, you get an 8MP f/2.0 lens for video calls and selfies. Here's a direct comparison with one of its chief competitors, the Moto G24 Power. The Realme C65 offers a better dynamic range and leans towards a warm hue. Though it does overexpose the image slightly in bright surroundings. The G24 Power in comparison, leans towards natural colours, though the dynamic range could be better.

Moving onto the meat of the matter, how well does the Realme C65 5G perform in real life? The answer is, quite impressively! The MediaTek Dimensity 6300 SoC caters to all its performance needs, paired with 6GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of UFS2.2 storage, which can be expanded up to 2TB with a MicroSD card.

Software
+
The smartphone comes with Android 14-based Realme UI 5.0 out of the box. The OS skin does come with a few pre-installed apps but these can be removed as per your preferences. The 'Hot apps' need a bit more work and must be disabled from the App Market settings. The UI operates smoothly, thanks to the 120Hz refresh rate, and it incorporates a range of useful functions such as file dock, floating windows, and link to Windows functionality, which are some of my favourite features to use.

Battery and charging
+
A standard 5,000mAh cell powers the Realme C65, which comes bundled with a 15W fast charger. The battery on the device is quite resilient, logging an impressive 16 hours and 42 minutes on the PCMark benchmark score. This battery will be enough to power you through a day of regular usage. You might need to plug in your charger at the end of the day if you're a power user.
