Realme C73 5G

Design Vibes                                     

The Realme C73 5G is shockingly thin for a phone with a monster battery—7.94mm, barely tips the scale at 197g. Plastic build, yeah, but it’s tough. IP64 splash-proof, MIL-STD shock resistant, so you can drop it and maybe not cry. Jade Green gives it some personality, but let’s be real, glass still feels fancier (looking at you, Samsung A16). Rainwater Smart Touch is a neat trick for using your phone in the rain—finally, someone gets how clumsy life is.

2. Screen Time         

Big ol’ 6.67-inch LCD at 120Hz is super smooth for scrolling and casual games. But—only 720p, so pixels are obvious, especially if you’re spoiled by FHD+. At 625 nits, it’s fine indoors, but outside on a sunny day? Not great, Bob. Eye comfort mode is a nice touch. Bezels are slim, screen-to-body ratio is almost 90%, but it’s not AMOLED, so don’t expect inky blacks.

3. Cameras 

There’s just one rear shooter: 32MP, decent in daylight, gets the colors mostly right, and focus is quick. No ultra-wide, no macro—so creative types might want to look elsewhere. 8MP front cam is fine for your grandma’s video calls or a quick selfie. Night shots? Eh, noisy, especially if you’ve seen what Vivo T4 Lite 5G can do. Videos max out at 1080p/30fps—standard budget stuff.

4. Battery & Charging 

This is where it flexes. 6000mAh battery goes forever—Realme says up to 54 hours talk, 15+ hours YouTube. Totally believable. AI helps the battery stretch even longer. But that 15W charging? Glacial. Over two hours for a full tank. No wireless charging, but honestly, you expected that for $120?

5. Software Stuff 

Runs Realme UI 6.0 on Android 15—pretty clean, not a ton of junk pre-installed. AI Experience stuff helps with connections and battery. You can “expand” RAM up to 12GB virtually, but don’t expect miracles—based 4GB still struggles with heavy multitasking. Split-screen, floating windows all that jazz. Updates: two years OS, three years security—meh, not amazing.
