Regarding the design, the Realme C55 is impressively slim with a thickness of 7.89mm, and features a curved display on the edges. Its back is made of polycarbonate, while a punch hole cutout at the front houses the selfie camera, and the fingerprint scanner is located on the side. One interesting design aspect is the Mini Capsule feature, akin to Apple’s Dynamic Island, that indicates the phone’s charging status, battery alerts, and data usage.
