Realme C61 deals

The realme C61 is an entry-level phone built around durability rather than specifications, which is a sensible priority at this end of the market. Realme designed it to survive everyday abuse: there is an IP54 rating for dust and splashes, drop testing onto hard surfaces, and a screen layer that still responds accurately when your fingers or the display are wet, which is genuinely useful in British weather. The 5000mAh battery comes with a four-year battery health guarantee, so it should still hold most of its capacity long after cheaper rivals have faded. The trade-offs are clear once you look past the toughness. The 6.74-inch screen is only HD resolution, so text looks soft next to a Full HD panel, although the 90Hz refresh rate keeps scrolling smoother than most phones this cheap. The Unisoc T612 chip suits messaging, streaming and social apps rather than gaming, and the 5MP selfie camera is basic. There is no 5G, and a microSD slot compensates for modest storage.
