Yesterday the upcoming Realme C65 5G leaked on its way to India, and today the brand has already officially confirmed its existence and price range. According to Realme’s official X account for India, the C65 5G is coming soon and will be priced under INR 10,000 (approximately $119 or €112), just like yesterday’s rumor claimed.
As you can see below, the brand bills this as “the fastest entry-level 5G” smartphone, and according to the aforementioned leak that speed will come from the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset that it will be using.

The Realme C65 5G is also rumored to sport a 6.67-inch 120 Hz LCD touchscreen with 625-nit peak brightness, a 50 MP main camera, an 8 MP selfie camera, and a 5,000 mAh battery that will charge at up to 15W. Of course it’s expected to launch running Android 14 with Realme UI on top.
The phone will allegedly be IP54 rated for dust and splash resistance and will get 4/6GB of RAM, 64/128GB of storage, a dedicated memory card slot, and a side-mounted fingerprint sensor embedded into the power button. It’s going to be 7.89 mm thin and will weigh 190g.
This shouldn’t be confused with the 4G-only Realme C65 which got official earlier this month with the MediaTek Helio G85 SoC at the helm and 45W wired charging support. It’s unclear what other differences there will be between these two, but those are already quite significant. We’ll let you know when we find out more.
