6,6" Full HD display

The realme C35 is equipped, among other things, with a 6,6" IPS display that has a Full HD resolution. Noteworthy features are a high 180 Hz touch sampling rate and a peak brightness of 600 nits.

The screen-to-body ratio, i.e. the ratio of the display to the front of the case, is 90,7 percent.

Unisoc T616 chip

The choice of mobile platform is rather unusual. Most smartphones use a Qualcomm or MediaTek system-on-chip. The realme C35, on the other hand, relies on a Unisoc T616 chip. The chip is manufactured using the 12 nm process. The CPU offers a total of eight processor cores, which are divided into two ARM Cortex-A75 cores (2.0 GHz) and six ARM Cortex-A55 cores (1.8 GHz).

The smartphone is available in storage variants with 4+64GB or 4+128GB. The RAM is of type LPDDR4X, the data storage is of type UFS2.2. The data storage can be expanded by up to 1 TB with a microSD memory card. You don't have to do without one of the two SIM slots. Speaking of SIM - the cellular modem supports all LTE bands common in this country. Otherwise there is also Dual-AC WiFi and Bluetooth 5.0.
