Design and Display
The handset comes in a minimalistic mustard colored box with some paperwork, the handset, charging brick, and charging cable inside. Like most entry-level smartphones, the Realme C11 does not come with a smartphone case or earphones.
The Realme C11 features a dual-textured holographic back with a matte finish and Realme branding. At the top left, it comes with an iPhone 11-like camera bump. Overall, it’s a good looking device with the decent build quality.
Moving on to the display, the handset is built around a 6.65-inch LCD with a waterdrop notch, 720p resolution, 20:9 aspect ratio, 270 PPI pixel density, and 81.7 percent screen-to-body ratio.

The smartphone is powered by MediaTek Helio G35 SoC, accompanied by 2GB RAM and 32GB of expandable onboard storage. Its processor is going to be one of the key selling features as Helio G35 has been designed with mainstream gaming in mind and provides smooth performance, good power efficiency, and reliable, low-latency connections. Hence, for day to day experiences, the smartphone will not cause any inconveniences.
