Launched in December 2023, the C67 5G was Realme's attempt to push 5G further down its C-series range. It targeted buyers who wanted future-proof connectivity for the lowest possible outlay, going up against the Redmi 13C 5G, Samsung Galaxy A14 5G and Lava Storm. The design followed the flat-edged look that Realme used across its 2023 budget lineup, with a glossy rear finish.
The 6.72-inch IPS LCD runs at 120Hz, which helps scrolling feel smooth even if colours and contrast fall short of AMOLED. MediaTek's Dimensity 6100+ is a common budget 5G chip that handles calls, social media and video comfortably, though gaming is limited to lighter titles. IP54 splash resistance was a welcome inclusion that many rivals at this price skipped.
A 50 MP main camera and 2 MP depth sensor produce usable daylight shots, and the 8 MP selfie camera is basic. The 5,000 mAh battery easily lasts more than a day for light users, and 33W charging is faster than the 18W chargers some competitors bundled. Compared with the Redmi 13C 5G, the Realme offered quicker charging and a smoother display, while Samsung's option promised longer software support.
