Overview
The Realme C01 was announced in October 2026 and is expected to go on sale the same month in its launch markets. It is the new floor of Realme’s C line: a large-screen, large-battery 4G phone built around the Unisoc T7250. Pakistan has no launch date or official price yet, so this page carries the announced specification with expected pricing.
Price in Pakistan
The figures below are expected Pakistan prices, suggested from the phone’s specifications and comparable budget models already listed on PhonePrice. They will be replaced when Realme announces official local pricing.
| Variant | Price in Pakistan (Expected) |
|---|---|
| 4GB + 64GB | Rs. 36,999 (Expected) |
| 4GB + 128GB | Rs. 40,999 (Expected) |
Importer units are the likely first route into Pakistan, sold Non-PTA until any official launch. Check the IMEI and confirm PTA status via DIRBS before paying for any unit.
Design & Build
A glass front with plastic frame and back, at 166.5 x 78.2 x 8.7 mm and 210 g — a big, solidly built phone for its price. IP64 sealing covers dust and splashes, and the sheet lists MIL-STD-810H compliance. Colours are Midnight Black, Skyline Silver and Orange.
Display
A 6.81-inch IPS LCD at 720 x 1520 pixels, running at 120Hz with a 900-nit peak — smooth and bright for the class, at HD+ resolution. Panda MN228 glass protects the panel.
Performance
The Unisoc T7250 (12 nm) pairs two Cortex-A75 cores at 1.8 GHz with six Cortex-A55 cores and a Mali-G57 MP1 GPU, with 4GB of RAM and UFS 2.2 storage. This is basic, dependable hardware for calls, messaging, video and light apps — not a gaming phone. Virtual RAM extensions, where offered, are not physical RAM.
Camera
A single 8MP rear camera with autofocus, LED flash and 1080p video, and a 5MP selfie camera at 720p. Realme has spent the budget on battery and display instead; the camera is for daylight snaps and documents.
Battery & Charging
The 6,500mAh silicon-carbon battery is the headline — among the largest Realme fits at this level — with 15W wired charging and reverse wired charging to top up accessories. Endurance should run to two days for most users; refills will not be quick.
Software & Connectivity
Android 16 with realme UI. Connectivity covers 4G LTE (no 5G), dual-band Wi-Fi ac, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS with Galileo, GLONASS and BDS, a side-mounted fingerprint reader, a 3.5mm jack and USB Type-C with OTG. There is no NFC.
Final Verdict: Battery and screen size carry a basic phone
The C01 is an honest entry phone: a very large battery, a big 120Hz screen and current software, with the camera and chipset kept deliberately basic. At the expected prices it competes on endurance, and on that measure it is well armed.
