realme C53 is another budget-friendly device from the youth-focused smartphone brand. The phone was officially released in the Bangladesh market on July 23, 2023. This smartphone stands out from its competitors with its segment's first 108 MP camera, offering users an incredible photography experience. Let’s find out more on C53 key specs, pros, cons, and price in Bangladesh.

Key features and Specs of realme C53

Design

The realme C53 sports a design that may look familiar to those who have followed the brand's smartphone releases. The overall dimension of the phone is 167.3 x 76.7 x 7.5 mm. The phone weighs only 182g.

Constructed with plastic material, the phone features a dual-tone design at the back, with the top portion boasting a glossy finish and the bottom has a matte texture.  The device comes in various colors, and while the Champion Gold variant may be too glittery for some, the Champion Black variant would have been a preferred choice for many due to its more subdued appearance.

Although the camera rings for the 108MP+B&W sensors and LED flash add a distinct look to the device, they protrude significantly from the surface, causing some instability when typing on a flat surface. Despite this, the realme C53 feels ergonomic to hold with its flat edges and lightweight design.

Display

The realme C53 boasts a 6.74-inch IPS LCD LCD screen, offering a resolution of 1080 x 2400. The display features a refresh rate of 90 Hz and a teardrop notch at the top.

The C53's screen exhibits brightness and vividness, but this holds true only when viewed head-on. Upon tilting or observing it from different angles, there is an apparent decline in color reproduction and overall quality.

The 1080 x 2400 IPS LCD resolution results in a mere 390 ppi density. In 2023, it has almost become customary for smartphones to have, at the very least, a 1080p display. It becomes even more perplexing to consider that the C53's sibling, the realme C55, offers a higher FHD+ resolution.

In real-world usage, pixels are more discernible on the C55's lower-resolution screen. One does become accustomed to both the slightly less sharp display and the less-than-stellar viewing angles over time, but in all honesty, it is an oversight on realme's part.

Nevertheless, the realme C53 boasts a high refresh rate display, reaching 90 Hz. This imparts a smoother and more responsive experience when navigating the phone and the UI, exceeding expectations.

Cameras

The highlight of the realme C53 is its 50 MP primary camera. While the camera demonstrates swift focus and shutter speeds in well-lit conditions, it struggles to maintain a proper contrast ratio, resulting in oversaturated colors and a lack of dynamic range in the images.  The camera's performance in low-light situations is average, with noticeable noise in the details.

The front-facing 8MP camera gets the job done, but it could have been better with regards to facial detail and skin tones.

Performance and Software

Under the hood, the realme C53 is powered by an entry-level Unisoc T612 12nm SoC coupled with a 6GB RAM. The phone offers 128GB internal storage capacity with an external memory capacity of 2TB.

While basic usage, such as communication and social media browsing, runs smoothly, more demanding tasks and gaming might lead to noticeable lag and stutter. The device's benchmarking scores reflect its average performance. Connectivity options include dual SIM support, dual-band Wi-Fi, 4G LTE, GPS, and Bluetooth v5.0.

The realme C53 runs on the realme UI T edition based on Android 13. The UI resembles stock Android in many aspects, and the number of pre-installed proprietary apps has been reduced. Users can customize their app selection according to their preferences.

Battery and Charging Speeds

The realme C53 packs a reliable 5,000mAh battery, offering more than a day's battery life on light usage. The device's PCMark 3.0 battery test confirms its impressive endurance. Charging the phone fully takes around 2 hours and 15 minutes using the provided 33W charger.

Official Price of realme C53 in Bangladesh

The realme C53 is officially available in Bangladesh. The official price for the 6GB x 128GB version is around BDT 17,999. The price is subject to change depending upon sellers and company policy.

Conclusion

The realme C53 proves to be a compelling option for its price, offering satisfactory performance for everyday use and even outperforming its competitors in benchmarking scores. With a respectable battery life and a good display, this smartphone does not disappoint. However, it falls short in the camera department, leaving users wishing for better results.

When considering the 6GB RAM variant, there are other better options like Xiaomi Redmi Note 12 4G, Infinix Note 30 etc. available in the market with higher storage capacity, superior chipsets, and faster charging solutions. Nevertheless, the 6GB RAM variant of the realme C53 is an attractive choice for dedicated realme fans with budget constraints, offering reasonable performance and features at an affordable price point.
