 Real me C30 First Impressions: Design and display

 There’s only so much you can do with the design of a phone when it’s priced so low, mainly because you’re so restricted by the choice of materials. Real me has tried something different here, with a corrugated finish at the back of the phone. It’s still plastic, but not one with a glossy finish. Instead, it has a grippe texture to it with a  bit of a metallic shimmer—the corrugation changes to a plain texture around the single 8-megapixel camera module. The ridged texture, along with grippe plastic, yields it a really solid feel in hand. It also acts as an excellent fidget because you can run your nails through it and make a satisfying sound. It can be therapeutic.

 You get only two color variants, green and blue.

The phone has a squared-off – it’s 2022, and everyone wants to achieve that look. So, the metal frame is almost entirely flat with chamfers on the edges.

 Despite packing a good battery capacity of 5,000mAh, the phone isn’t all that heavy, tipping the scales at 182g.

 All buttons are placed on the phone’s right side, which is unlike Real me! They usually keep the volume rocker on the left and the right. The tactile feedback of the buttons is nice and resounding.

 The bottom of the phone hosts a 3.5 mm headphone jack, a mic hole, a Micros port (we haven’t seen that in a while) and a speaker grille. The left side houses a fully decked-out SIM tray with two nanogram slots and a micros card slot. The top of the phone is clean, without any ports or grilles.

 In terms of design, we quite dig the fact that despite using plastic back and frame, they have tried something unique. We are yet to see how durable it is against scratches and dents.

 Flipping the phone reveals a 6.5-inch LCD with HD+ resolution. It refreshes at 60Hz and has no fancy tech to make it smoother or brighter. Despite claiming an 88.7% screen-to-body ratio, the bezels are thick, especially towards the chin, but we didn’t mind that, considering the low price tag.
