realme C53 Review: Did it justify the hype?
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.
