Realme C75 Launched in Nepal: Strong on Durability, But At What Cost?

Realme Nepal has launched the C75, a mid-range smartphone, for the Nepali market.

What is the Price of the Realme C75 in Nepal?

The realme C75 price in Nepal is Rs. 26,999 (8/128GB) and Rs. 29,999 (8/256GB). You can purchase the smartphone in stores across Nepal as well as in online marketplaces.

The price difference between the two variants is Rs. 3,000, but it doubles the storage capacity of the base model. This makes the upgrade a good deal, as it offers more storage at a reasonable price.

Following up on the Realme C63 and Realme Note 60, it aims to deliver durability and performance at a competitive price. However, the overall value of the smartphone is questionable, as the specs fail to justify the asking price, especially compared to the standard already established in the mid-range segment.

Let’s see what else the phone offers in more detail.

Realme C75 Overview

Design

The realme C75 sports a flat and boxy design inspired by the nature power design. The corners are rounded which makes the design ergonomic to hold with flat side rails and a flat rear panel that gives it a compact look.

The phone’s side rails are made of metal—a pleasant upgrade over the plastic rails seen in this segment. It houses the volume and power/fingerprint buttons on the right and a dedicated slot on the left that supports dual SIM cards and microSD

The prominent camera bump at the rear sports a three-distinct camera cut-out—one of which is a dummy camera—a trend I am not a big fan of.

It gets a realme and 50MP AI camera branding, which compliments its subtle gradient finish. The overall build does improve its hands-on feel.

C75 claims an impressive IP66/IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance rating thanks to the Integrated Foam, Seal, Redesigned Waterproof Structure, and Upgraded Waterproof Components. It claims the phone can remain immersed in the water at 0.5-meter depth for 7 days, 2-meter depth for 24 hours, and 2.5-meter depth for 12 hours. 

It is the only mid-range smartphone other than the Oppo A5 Pro to get the IP69 certification, surprisingly a rare certification reserved for flagships. Moreover, C75 features a SonicWave Water Ejection function, which can vibrate at a specific frequency to effectively eject up to 50% of excess water with just a tap.

The front glass features ArmorShell Glass, which incorporates 35% lithium, aluminum, and boron. This combination creates a dense, high-strength protective shield that offers improvements of 260% in drop resistance and 400% in scratch resistance.

Additionally, the integrated metal inner frame claims comprehensive protection from corner to corner, making it effective against drops from a maximum height of 2 meters. It has successfully passed 150 drop tests from 0.7 meters and has been tested in various simulated drop scenarios.

The overall focus seems to be on water resistance and durability, especially with the TUVRheinland Rugged Smartphone and MIL-STD-810H standard certification ensuring military-grade protection that excels in everyday life.

Finally, the charging port is at the bottom but misses out on the 3.5mm headphone jack, which is another frustratingly trending practice in the mid-range segment.

Additionally, the realme C75 comes in Lighting Gold and Storm Black colors.

Display

Moving onto the display, the phone has a hole punch display with black bezels and a prominent chin on the bottom. The 6.72-inch IPS LCD panel has a resolution of 2400 x 1080 pixels. This gives the phone a screen-to-body ratio of 91.40%.

Moving on, the display has a maximum refresh rate of 90Hz and a maximum typical brightness of 580 nits. The brightness increases to 690 nits in HBM.

The FHD+ resolution was expected but could have improved by including a Super AMOLED display currently standard in other mid-rangers like Samsung Galaxy A16 5G at similar price range.

Hardware

In terms of hardware, the phone comes equipped with a MediaTek Helio G92 Max chipset. The 12nm octa-core processor has 2x 2.0 GHz Cortex-A75 and 6x 1.8 Cortex-A55 alongside Mali-G52 graphics.

The performance takes a backseat a mediocre AnTuTu and Geekbench scores. These scores are comparable to Techno Spark 30 and Redmi 13 which were available under Rs. 20,000 price point. Even the Redmi Note 14—priced slightly under the C75—opts for a 6nm MediaTek Helio G99 processor with significantly higher performance output. Judging by this, it is clear that the C75 does a questionable cost-cutting by opting for a substandard chipset.

In terms of memory, the phone comes with 8GB RAM and the option between 128GB and 256GB of internal storage. Besides that, the phone also supports memory expansion and has a dedicated microSD card slot.

Additionally, the C75 includes 16GB Dynamic RAM support, expanding the total RAM up to 24GB.

It also supports “Dynamic Button” with presets like double-tap, double-press, and swiping to launch different applications like the flashlight, camera, etc., after unlocking it.

Cameras

Regarding the camera, the C75 comes with a 50MP main camera that has an aperture of f/1.8. The main camera is accompanied by one auxiliary len and dummy cut-out whose purpose and specifications have not been specified by realme.

At the front, you get an 8MP selfie camera that has an aperture of f/2.0. Video-wise, the front and rear cameras can record videos up to 1080p at 30 frames per second.

It supports photography functions like Tap to Capture, Show Palm, and Tap Screen Virtual Button to Capture.

Battery and OS

realme has included a 6000mAh (rated at 5860mAh) power pack with the Realme C75. C75 includes a 45W fast charging power brick in the box, which can charge the phone up to 100% in just 90 minutes.

In terms of software, realme has included Android 14 as the phone’s operating system and has applied realme UI 5.0 skin on top of the base OS.

Besides that, realme has also included AI-based performance management tools like Mini Capsule 3.0, AI Clear Face, AI Smart Loop, and AI Boost.

Realme C75 Price in Nepal and Availability

The realme C75 price in Nepal is Rs. 26,999 (8/128GB) and Rs. 29,999 (8/128GB). You can purchase the smartphone in stores across Nepal as well as in online marketplaces.

Realme C75 nails down the design for a modern mid-ranger with metal sides and a slimmer profile. Moreover, the IP69 rating and ArmorShell Glass will ensure its durability in the long run.

Prioritizing ruggedness and durability is commendable, but those practical improvements come at the cost of subpar performance. It is impossible to overlook the underwhelming display and chipset for its price, especially opting for an LCD panel and underperforming processor in mid-range in 2025.

In contrast, the HMD Crest 5G–priced at Rs. 18,999 (6/128GB), offers an OLED FHD+ display, future-proof 5G connectivity, and a highly repairable design. On the other hand, the OnePlus Nord CE 4 Lite 5G is available for Rs. 30,999 (8/256GB). While it is an older launch, the extra bucks give access to better specs, a powerful processor, higher charging capability, and a 50MP camera with a Sony LYT-600 sensor!

For those seeking more of a balanced offering, the CMF Phone 1 for Rs. 29,999 (8/128GB) is by far the strongest contender here. It provides a powerful Dimensity 7300 processor, a superior 8-bit OLED Display, Stereo Speakers, and more that establishes itself as a solid mid-ranger that practically justifies its value.
