A Full HD+ screen and 50MP main camera at entry-level money — the C35 is the budget phone that doesn't look or feel like one.

Our verdict

The sharp-screen budget pick — if display quality matters more than charging speed, choose the C35.

What we like

  • Sharpest screen in its price bracket
  • Genuinely good daylight camera
  • Looks and feels more expensive than it is
  • Two-day battery for light users

Worth knowing

  • 18W charging feels slow
  • Not built for heavy gaming
  • No ultrawide camera

The full review

The Realme C35's party trick is its display: while most rivals at this price ship 720p panels, the C35 runs a proper 6.6-inch 1080p screen. Text is sharper, photos look better, and video actually looks like it should.

The 50MP main camera is the other standout — in good light it takes shots you'd happily post, which isn't a given in this class. The flat-sided design borrows flagship styling, and the 5,000mAh battery reliably does a day and a half.

The Unisoc T616 chip is the honest compromise: daily apps run fine but it's not a gaming phone, and there's no fast charging — a full charge takes over two hours.

Key features

  • 6.6-inch Full HD+ display — rare in this class
  • 50MP main camera
  • 5,000mAh battery
  • Unisoc T616 with 4GB RAM
  • Side fingerprint sensor

Common questions

Is the Realme C35 good for gaming?

Light games like Subway Surfers and Candy Crush run fine. Heavy titles like PUBG will need low settings and still stutter occasionally.
