Realme C01 Listed Early in Vietnam: Full Specs, Price and an NFC Surprise

The Realme C01 has been listed early by the Vietnamese retailer Gioi Di Dong, complete with specifications, colours and a price — VND 5,990,000, roughly $228, for the 4GB + 64GB model. The phone carries the model number RMX5399 and has already appeared on Malaysia’s SIRIM and the UAE’s TDRA certification lists, so the listing reads as a genuine retail page rather than a placeholder. The listing also settles a detail the early spec sheets got wrong: the C01 has NFC.

What the listing shows

The Realme C01 is an entry-level 4G phone built around a 6.8-inch 120Hz LCD at 720×1520, with 900-nit peak brightness and Panda Glass protection. A Unisoc T7250 runs the phone with a Mali-G57 GPU, backed by 4GB of RAM and 64GB or 128GB of storage with microSD expansion. It launches on Android 16, carries an IP64 rating with MIL-STD-810H testing, and measures 8.7mm thick at 210g.

The spec highlights list:

• 6.81-inch 120Hz LCD, 720×1520, 900 nits, Panda Glass
• Unisoc T7250 with Mali-G57 GPU
• 4GB RAM, 64GB or 128GB storage, microSD slot
• 8MP rear camera, 5MP selfie camera, 1080p video
• 6,500mAh battery, 15W charging, reverse wired charging
• IP64 rating, side-mounted fingerprint reader, Android 16

The NFC point

Connectivity in the listing includes dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, GPS, a 3.5mm headphone jack, USB-C — and NFC. That matters because the earliest specification sheets for this phone, including the one our own product page was first built from, listed NFC as absent. Retail listings close to launch are the stronger source, and this one is explicit. Budget phones with NFC at this price are still rare enough that the feature changes who should consider the phone, particularly for buyers who use tap-to-pay or transit cards where supported.

Price, colours and availability

The listing shows three colours — black, grey and orange — and a single priced variant, 4GB + 64GB at VND 5,990,000. The phone is marked unavailable for purchase, so this is a page prepared ahead of the on-sale date rather than a live offer. The hardware closely matches the Realme C100i sold in some markets, with a smaller battery, which suggests the C01 is a regional variant rather than an all-new design.

Pakistan status

There is no Pakistan launch date for the C01. Our product page carries an Expected price of Rs. 36,999 for the 4GB + 64GB model and Rs. 40,999 for 4GB + 128GB, set from the phone’s hardware tier; those figures will be replaced by the official price if and when Realme Pakistan lists the phone. For now, the Vietnamese listing is the most complete picture of what the C01 actually is — NFC included.
