Realme C61

Realme C61 price in Malaysia starts from RM479, putting it firmly in budget territory. The Unisoc Tiger T612 chipset and Mali-G57 GPU handle everyday tasks like calls, messaging and social media without fuss, backed by 6GB RAM and 128GB of storage that you can expand further with a dedicated microSD slot. The 6.74-inch IPS LCD runs at 90Hz, which helps scrolling feel smoother than you'd expect at this price, though the 720 x 1600 resolution keeps things on the modest side.

On the back, a 50MP main camera with PDAF handles most shooting duties, joined by a basic 0.08MP auxiliary lens that adds little beyond marketing value. Selfies come from a 5MP front camera, functional for video calls but nothing more. The 5000mAh battery is the standout here, easily stretching through a full day, though charging tops out at 15W so a full recharge takes a while.

Built with a plastic frame and back, the C61 also carries IP54 splash resistance, a rare inclusion at this price point. It ships with Android 14 and Realme UI out of the box, and comes in Sparkle Gold or Dark Green.
