Realme C01 Launches in Indonesia
Realme released its entry-level Realme C01 in Indonesia on November 6, 2026, starting at Rp 2,649,000, uzone.id reported. The device brings a 6,500 mAh battery and NFC functionality to the local market.
Krisva Angnieszca, Public Relations Lead Realme Indonesia, explained the philosophy behind the hardware in an official statement. “When choosing a smartphone, young people look not only at specification numbers, but also at how the smartphone feels when used every day,” Krisva said, as reported by uzone.id.
Battery and Hardware Performance
The 6,500 mAh power cell supports 15W charging and reverse charging capabilities. According to Compass, the battery runs for up to 19.3 hours of YouTube playback, 26 hours of WhatsApp messaging, and 15.6 hours of Google Maps navigation. Kumparan noted that a Netflix viewing session of nearly two hours depleted the battery by 14 percent, and charging from 34 percent to full capacity took two hours and ten minutes using the included 15-watt adapter.
Under the hood, an octa-core Unisoc T7250 processor pairs with 4 GB of RAM and up to 8 GB of virtual RAM. Storage options span 64 GB and 128 GB using UFS 2.2 flash storage, which Compass reported speeds up app loading times. Kumparan observed that the device maintains 60 frames per second during Mobile Legends gameplay.
Durability Standards and Build Quality
Realme built the device with ArmorShell Protection, incorporating reinforced corners, an airbag design, and a chassis tested to MIL-STD-810H standards for drops from up to two meters. The handset also holds an IP64 rating for dust and water splash resistance, alongside Rain Touch Mode for wet-finger operation.

The chassis measures 8.69 mm thick and weighs 210 grams. Color configurations include Sunset Orange, Skyline Silver, and Midnight Black, with the orange edition bearing a visual resemblance to high-end flagship layouts, according to uzone.id.
Display and AI Software Integration
A 6.8-inch HD+ LCD screen anchors the front of the device, offering a 120Hz refresh rate and a peak brightness of 900 nits. The display utilizes DC dimming to eliminate flicker in low-light environments, while a 5-megapixel camera sits in a punch-hole cutout at the top center.
Running Realme UI based on Android 16, the device includes on-device artificial intelligence utilities such as AI Eraser, AI Clear Face, and AI Image Matting. Kumparan reported that these tools operate locally without requiring a subscription. Additional utilities include AI Netpilot for signal reception and AI Outdoor Mode for screen visibility.
