Realme has unveiled the latest addition to its budget C-series lineup with the Realme C65, announced today in Vietnam. This entry-level device features a 90Hz LCD, MediaTek Helio G85 chipset, and a 50 MP main camera.
The Realme C65 boasts a 6.67-inch IPS LCD with HD+ resolution and a 90Hz refresh rate. It includes a punch-hole cutout for the 8 MP front-facing camera and supports Realme’s Mini Capsule, which displays status info and notifications around the selfie camera, similar to Apple’s Dynamic Island.
Realme has also incorporated air gestures and the brand’s Dynamic Button, allowing users to toggle between different shortcuts such as launching the camera app and toggling “Do Not Disturb” mode with a long press.
On the back, the device features a 50 MP main camera, a 2 MP macro lens, and an LED flash. The vertically stacked design is reminiscent of the Samsung Galaxy S22. The software is handled by Realme UI 5.0 based on Android 14, and the phone is powered by a 5,000 mAh battery with 45W charging support.
The Realme C65 is available in Black and Purple colors. It is priced at VND 3,690,000 ($148) for the 6/128GB model and VND 4,790,000 ($192) for the 8/256GB version. The device is currently on sale in Vietnam and will soon be available in Indonesia, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and the Philippines.

Over a week ago, the Realme C65 received certification from multiple authorities, signaling its impending launch. Realme’s Vice President, Chase Xu, confirmed that the unveiling of the Realme C65 is scheduled for April 2, with sales commencing in Vietnam just two days later.
In a recent post on X, Xu hinted at broader availability, stating that the C65 will also hit markets in Indonesia, Bangladesh, Malaysia, the Philippines, and “other countries” following its debut in Vietnam, although a specific timeline was not provided.
While Realme has yet to divulge detailed specifications for the C65, its Vietnamese branch has been teasing the device on social media platforms such as Instagram and Facebook. Revelations include the availability of the smartphone in black and purple color options, featuring a vertical camera setup on the rear reminiscent of the Samsung Galaxy S22. Additionally, one post hints at the possibility of a brownish color variant.
Expected to feature a centered punch-hole display, the Realme C65 is anticipated to introduce the Dynamic Button feature, previously seen on the Realme 12 5G. As anticipation builds ahead of its launch, enthusiasts eagerly await further details regarding the device’s specifications and features.
