Realme C33 2023 Launched – A Major Disappointment

The budget offerings of Realme are generally exciting. But recently, the manufacturer has been failing to impress its fans with its latest releases. And the trend continues with the Realme C33 2023. The brand-new phone does not only look virtually identical to the last year’s model, but there are little to no changes in the specs too.

In fact, if you take a closer look, the Realme C33 2023 is basically a brand-new version of the 2022 model but with “2023” in its model name. But does that make the phone not worth it at all? Well, to get to that conclusion, you will need to take a look at its specs.

Realme C33 2023 Core Specs and Price

The Realme C33 2023 has a 6.5-inch IPS screen with an HD+ resolution. On the top of the display, you have a waterdrop notch, which houses a 5MP selfie shooter. Again, the screen resolution and the front camera specs are basically the same as the last year’s model.

On the back, the C33 2023 comes with a 50MP primary sensor. Realme paired it up with a depth sensor, which aims to perfect the portrait shots. Under the hood, the phone boasts a Unisoc Tiger T612 SoC. And a 5000mAh battery powers all the internals of the phone.

Talking of the battery, it can charge at 10W and relies on a microUSB 2.0 port (really Realme?). And in terms of storage, you have two options: 64GB and 128GB. You can expand the storage with the dedicated microSD card slot. Also, both the storage version of the Realme C33 2023 comes with 4GB of RAM.

So, the only change that is present in the 2023 version of Realme C33 is the config of the base model. Other than that, everything about the phone is exactly the same as the C33 2022. Nonetheless, Realme kept the price low. The 4/64GB version costs INR 9,999 (about $121), and the 4/128GB version is INR 10,499 ($127).
