Reports have revealed that Realme may soon unveil the Realme C100 5G in Europe. While it is expected to go official in the next few days, another phone from the same series has now surfaced. In a new development, the C100i has received approval from Thailand’s certification platform.
Realme C100i NBTC certified
As shown in the image above, the upcoming Realme C100i has been approved by Thailand’s NBTC. While the listing has not confirmed any specifications, it only lists the model number RMX5377. Another thing that it confirms that it will be a 4G LTE phone, meaning it will lack support for 5G connectivity.
The C100i was previously spotted on certification platforms such as Indonesia’s TKDN and Europe’s EEC. However, none of these listings revealed the device’s moniker.
The Realme C100i’s early listings have also appeared on Amazon France, Amazon Italy, and Amazon Australia. Some of these listings may not include accurate specifications, but we have listed what appears to be the most consistent information.
Realme C100i specifications (rumoured)
According to the above-mentioned listings, the Realme C100i will feature a 6.8-inch screen. It will arrive in two variants: 4GB+64GB and 4GB+128GB. The device will be available in black and blue colour options. Other reported features include a 6,000mAh battery, a 5-megapixel front camera, Android 16, a single speaker, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor.
Realme C100 5G specifications (rumoured)
In comparison, the Realme C100 will feature a 6.8-inch LCD HD+ display with a 144Hz refresh rate. It will be powered by the Dimensity 6300 chipset and offer 4GB of RAM along with 128GB or 256GB of built-in storage. The device will also pack a 7,000mAh battery.
The C100 5G will have a 5-megapixel front camera and a 50-megapixel dual-camera setup on the back. Additional features include Android 16, a microSD card slot, a side-facing fingerprint sensor, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.3, and a MIL-STD-810H durability rating.
The 128GB and 256GB versions of the Realme C100 5G are expected to cost 237 euros and 256 euros, respectively. The device is expected to be available in green and purple shades.
Xpert Take
The Realme C100i appears to be positioned as an entry-level 4G alternative to the C100 5G, offering similar essentials but with a simplified hardware setup. The large 6,000mAh battery and a big display suggest that the device is targeted at users who prioritise battery endurance and screen size over performance-heavy features.
If the rumoured specifications turn out to be accurate, the C100i could become a practical choice for budget buyers in emerging markets. However, the limited RAM options and basic camera hardware indicate that it will likely focus on everyday tasks rather than demanding use cases such as gaming or advanced photography.
