First impressions 2it28

A Realme presents the C55 as an intermediate of 7,9 millimeters and 189 grams, 6,72-inch screen with FHD + resolution, 90Hz refresh rate and 16,8 million colors. In its housing, it presents a photochromic back film called color shift, which shines when it reflects the light and another layer of gel to protect the glass back.

O C55 it has a very nice footprint, despite not being as thin as many of the smartphones that have been launched; still, it sits well in the hand. Its thin, rounded edges and frames give the screen greater dimension, increasing the feeling of being with a smartphone. at hand.

The back and sides are very well built, with a very interesting satin finish and a slight shine that gives the vehicle an elegant look. C55. ing that the color received was the rainy night, which, as its name suggests, has a design inspired by a rainy night. Incidentally, design is a very strong point of the brand, which always proposes to deliver a complete visual experience to the consumer, from its most basic lines to the most expensive.

In the box we received charger Supervooc 33W with power cable and a transparent cover to protect the cell phone, which, by the way, already came with a screen protection film.

Processor 1z5g6g

O realme C55 has a processor MediaTek Helio G88 Chipset, responsible for ing cameras of up to 64 megapixels and several smart features. Furthermore, this processor octa-core with a speed of up to 2.0GHz expands the performance of the cell phone, making it more fluid during gameplays and taking care that the device does not overheat.

Checking the rating C55 No. AnTuTu — application that checks the hardware capacity of a cell phone while performing stress tests — the device has 261.318 points, ranking above the Galaxy A51.

System and interface e174s

O realme C55 comes updated with android 13 and operating system really UI 4.0, which mixes elements of the Android with the brand's system, which is very interesting, as it allows for a series of customizations and more features.

If you like tweaking the status bar, at C55 this is more intuitive, as it allows the to customize the icons, formats and what information will be visible.

Overall, the interface and system are very familiar to s of Android, since all functions and functionalities are active and what really changes are these additional features.

A novelty of this realme release is the presence of a dynamic island for notifications or Mini Capsule, as the brand calls it. It is nothing more than an adaptation of the same technology present in the iPhone 14 Pro, which displays notifications next to the phone's front camera, without having to unlock the phone.

The Mini Capsule is very interesting, but in everyday life it hardly appears. Most of the time it only serves to know information about the battery, the other functionalities (data usage, distance traveled, steps etc.) practically do not appear and, if they appear, it is so fast that it is almost not noticed.

It's a feature that's more interesting than functional in fact and would be better used if it worked in parallel with other applications ed by the . realme has a lot to improve regarding the notifications capsule.

Battery 554u5p

The 5000mAh battery in the realme C55 it has for a 33W super charger, which promises to charge the device 100% in an hour. This is possible thanks to technology SUPERVOOC, which delivers twice the speed of conventional chargers.

I was quite surprised with the charging potential of the device, in fact the brand here does exactly what it sets out to do: in less than thirty minutes it was possible to have the battery at 50% capacity. There were times when I needed to urgently plug my cell phone in as I would be leaving the house in 20 minutes, and I managed to get the cell phone from 15% to 48% battery while I was getting ready.

Regarding battery life, the brand has not worked with many estimates, but I expected it to last at least a whole day without having to worry. On days of intense use of social networks, hours of gaming and watching videos, it was 12 hours out of the socket. Already on days of punctual use, in which I took a few pictures and answered a few messages, it was two days with the device charged.

In the end, the battery performance of the C55 It turned out to be pretty standard compared to other mid-range devices with similar batteries, nothing fancy, but it doesn't let you down either, and the ultra-fast charger does a trick in emergencies.

Games 1h295e

There are 256GB of internal storage and 8GB of RAM memory, with the possibility of memory expansion with a memory card of up to 1TB, which opens up space for the to take pictures and as many applications and games as he wants.

The cell phone is equipped with a game engine that, in addition to enhancing gaming, allows the to make changes and monitor information on the graphics capacity of the device. C55, like FPS, for example.

Speaking of games, let's see how the device fared.

Honor of Kings 6t3d6s

Honor of Kings is a chinese mobile game battle arena (MOBA) in the greatest style League of Legends. It requires just over 3GB of storage and spends more than 2GB to store data on the cell phone. It's a very intense game that serves as an example to see how the realme C55 does in of processor, memory and battery performance.

I confess that I didn't know the game until I received the realme C55 to test: the game came installed on the device and I was hooked at first. No kidding, in total there were 10 hours of gameplay with many victories and defeats in the time I had the smartphone.

I configured the game to run in the best possible quality and even so the cell phone did not show any stuttering or oscillations during the rounds. I was afraid the battery wouldn't last long, but the C55 until it held up well. Even so, the battery is far from being one of the strengths of the cell phone, as it drops relatively quickly even with a few minutes of use. gameplay.

The warm-up happened, but in a very mild way, nothing that needs attention.

Free Fire 2j1356

O battle royale most famous mobile of recent years also came installed with the cell phone. Free Fire it has an open map that requires a lot of the device, mainly due to the number of players in the scenario and the dynamics of the gameplay that are always changing. The game requires at least 683MB of storage and consumes around 132MB of data.

As in the previous game, the C55 had no trouble running the game, I had a lot of fun and didn't even worry about gagging or overheating, in fact, the game demanded much less from the device that Honor of Kings; I didn't feel any kind of heating and the battery held a little longer.

Camera 2xzk

One of the strengths of this smartphone from realme is the photographic capacity: there are two rear cameras, one of 2 megapixels that works as a depth sensor and a main 64 megapixels which is capable of enhancing details of captured images. The front camera has 8 megapixels and all have very interesting artificial intelligence resources.

Among the smart features, we have urban mode 2.0 on the rear cameras, which has outdoor capture improvements, namely:

• Rush hour: the lens focuses on only one person, even if others are present;
• neon trail: creates a trail of light in photos, very common in professional photographs;
• Portrait with a trail of light: Neon Trail focusing on a specific person;
• light painting: allows you to create a “drawing” with a light trail (as, for example, on a busy avenue);
• Peak and Zoom: the chooses an object or person to be the focus of the lens with a single touch on the screen.

It is important to note that, although very interesting, the urban mode works automatically, in which the cell phone's processor is able to identify situations and apply filters as needed and is not customizable by the , which I consider a negative point, as AI is not always going to work as expected.

The highlight of this camera, in my opinion, is the night mode, which has an absurd ability to improve the quality of images, both from the rear and front cameras, no matter how dark the environment is.

The great trick is that the camera shutter, that is, the “eye” stays open longer to receive more light, enabling a clearer capture of the photo. In addition, artificial intelligence features enhance the image by decreasing noise and increasing sharpness.

If that's not enough, the flash helps fill in the lack of light, below is an interesting comparison between photo mode, night mode and night mode with flash.

I really liked the resolution of the photos, even the front camera, which only has 8 megapixels, delivers a lot of contrast and vibrant colors. The effects and adjustments of the camera itself give an any capture, which despite not being spectacular, is very vivid and does not have a lot of grain. About the camera resolution of 64 MP, it is exceptional when it comes to taking pictures, leaving any iPhone in the slipper.

Video modes are pretty basic: videos are recorded in Full HD at 30 or 60 fps and have some interesting color filters. The resolution is not amazing, but it breaks a nice branch and the colors are vibrant and with a lot of contrast.

Audio 3n1j5g

Now let's talk about audio, a device that not only helps us in our leisure time, but is also very important for communication. The microphones capture the sound well and seem to be very powerful, something that can be both positive and negative, as sometimes the sound is too noisy, but it helps if you need a lot of dimension.

Os 200% UltraBoom speakers were a somewhat negative surprise, given that the sound is very loud even with the volume at minimum and I was startled by the power the first time I tested it, but the audio comes out with a very strange muffled aspect, as if it were from under water. This feature is maintained for all audio emitted by the cell phone, including those recorded by the cell phone itself.

Final considerations 65522r

O realme C55 it's a great intermediate device and it, despite being a little salty in the brand's partner stores (R$ 2.299,00 at Amazon), can be found for very affordable values ​​in other suppliers (BRL 1.349,00 at Carrefour). It's really worth it if what you're looking for is a popular device with an incredible camera, a processor that won't let you down and an absurd storage capacity. In addition to, of course, being a very beautiful device visually in both colors.

Now, the least positive point is definitely the battery, since, despite having held up relatively well during all tests, it should deliver more on a cell phone that promises so many things. Okay, because it's an intermediary, it doesn't necessarily have to be amazing at everything, but it wouldn't hurt to put a more stable battery on this cell phone, after all, it deserves it and so does the public.

At least the ultra-fast charger is there to break your branch.
