Realme C61 specifications and price (leaked)
Realme C61 may sport an HD+ display with a resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels and a 320 DPI pixel density. As per a recent leak, the phone was allegedly spotted on the Google Play Console with model number RMX3939. Under the hood, the smartphone could be powered by a Unisoc Speedtrum T612 4G chipset, meaning it would have 4G capabilities.
In terms of optics, Realme C61 is expected to feature a 50-megapixel dual camera system, the report suggests. The latest teaser shared by the company confirms the presence of two cameras at the back of the smartphone, along with an LED flash. However, the design appears to be slightly different than the renders which surfaced online. The Unisoc chip could be paired with 4GB or 6GB RAM and up to 128GB storage. Furthermore, it is speculated to run on Android 14 out of the box.
The report suggests the Realme C61 may be priced at EUR 130 (roughly Rs. 11,600) in the global markets. In India, it could be sold for under Rs. 10,000. It may be available in different colourways, depending on the region in which it is sold. In the global markets, Realme C61 may come in Dark Black and Dark Green options, while the Indian variant could have Marble Black and Safari Green colourways.
