Realme just launched the C53 in Malaysia – a large, affordable handset for the entry-level segment. It’s already available through Lazada at MYR 550 with 6/128GB configuration. For comparison, the slightly more capable C55 sells for MYR 700 with the same memory configuration.

We’ll let you in on a little secret – the Realme C53 is essentially identical to the Realme Narzo N53 that launched in India a couple of weeks ago. That one had a 4/64GB base model, but the 6/128GB one is priced at INR 11,000, which converts to $133. The price of the C53 is slightly lower in US dollars, $120. Here’s what you get for the money.


The Realme C53 is equipped with a sizable 6.74” LCD with 90Hz refresh rate and 180Hz touch sampling rate. The 8MP selfie camera is in a teardrop notch and the Realme UI wraps it in Dynamic Island like notifications. There is a fingerprint reader on the side on the device.

The rear camera is a basic 50MP module with 1080p @ 30fps video recording (for the record, the selfie camera can’t even go that high, it tops out at 720p @ 30pfs). There is a secondary module on the back, but it’s just a depth sensor.
