Section 3: Additional Features and Considerations

Security Features

    • Fingerprint (side-mounted), accelerometer, proximity, compass.
    • Due to its TFT panel, the Realme C51 does not have an in-display fingerprint sensor. Instead, it features a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, which is functional and reasonably fast. The phone offers mono speakers, all the necessary ports including a 3.5mm headphone jack and a type C charging port. The charging animation on the phone is particularly impressive, reminiscent of Apple's dynamic island.

Build Quality and Design

    • Glass front, plastic frame, plastic back.
    • However, one disappointing aspect of the design is the front bezels and chin, which are just okay. It features a new drop-notch design that is acceptable considering the price. However, it does not come with a pre-applied screen guard and lacks an oleophobic coating, resulting in fingerprints and smudges on the display. Applying a screen guard is highly recommended to address this issue.
Conclusion:

  • The Realme C51, priced at ₹9000, offers an attractive design, satisfactory performance, and decent camera capabilities. However, it falls short in terms of display quality and lacks certain features offered by competitors in the same price range. The absence of software animations and occasional bugs are minor drawbacks that can be overlooked by users seeking a budget-friendly smartphone. Ultimately, the Realme C51 is a suitable choice for those prioritizing battery life, basic photography needs, and a cleaner user interface.
