Realme had a few announcements to make this week, including a new phone, a smartwatch, and a pair of wireless earbuds. Realme C33 is now the latest model in its budget C-series and also one of its most affordable phones for 2022.

Design-wise, Realme C33 looks almost the same as the 9i 5G that came out last month, but with one less camera on the back. On the front, it has a 6.5-inch IPS LCD display with a waterdrop-shaped notch selfie camera and a thick bottom bezel.

Realme has not revealed the screen resolution, but it will most likely be 720p. The maximum brightness is 400 nits and the touch sampling rate is 120 Hz.

Interiors and Storage

Unlike its 9-series appearance, Realme C33 is powered by modest Unisoc T612 SoC with 4GB RAM and 128GB storage space. You can expand the storage up to 1TB via a micro SD card.

In terms of software, the phone boots Android 12 OS with Realme UI S Edition, which has been specifically designed for budget phones.

Cameras

The main camera setup is pretty basic, including a 50 MP main sensor along with a 2 MP portrait camera. There's no word on video recording, but it's likely to be limited to 1080p 30 FPS.

The waterdrop notch selfie camera is a 5MP wide-angle lens.

Battery and prices

Unfortunately, Realme is left with a micro USB port to charge the 5,000mAh battery. It does not have fast charging support.

Realme C33 will be available in Sandy Gold, Aqua Blue, and Night Sea color options for a starting price of $112. It is only available in India for now.
