In an impressive display of innovation and excellence, realme, a top global smartphone brand, secured two prestigious awards: Best Quality Smartphone for the realme C75 and Best Marketing Strategy for the realme Note 50 Campaign at the Beacon of ICT (BoICT) Awards 2025.

The annual event, which recognizes outstanding contributions to Nigeria's Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector. These honors mark realme’s strong entry into the Nigerian smartphone market and show why their phones are fast becoming favorites.

realme C75: The Best Quality Smartphone of the Year
The realme C75 earned the prestigious Best Quality Smartphone award because of its remarkable blend of durability, performance, and design. This phone is everything proof and made to impress, especially for users who need a device that can handle the everyday challenges of life in Nigeria.

Unmatched Durability:
The C75 is Nigeria’s first smartphone to pass tough durability tests. It carries the IP69, IP68, and IP66 ratings, meaning it is highly resistant to water, dust, and shocks.

This makes it perfect for users who are active outdoors or work in environments where phones often face rough handling. It even passed the MIL-STD 810H Military Grade Shock Resistance Test, a standard used by the military for durability. This means you don’t have to worry about accidental drops or splashes ruining your phone.

Powerful Performance:
Inside, the realme C75 runs on the MediaTek Helio G92 Max chip, offering smooth and fast performance. Whether you are browsing social media, watching videos, or playing games, the phone handles it all without lag. It also supports up to 24GB of Dynamic RAM, which is like giving your phone extra memory to work faster. The 6.72-inch full HD+ display has a 90Hz refresh rate, providing clear and smooth visuals, making every swipe and scroll feel fluid.

Long Battery Life:
One of the biggest worries with smartphones is battery life. The realme C75 comes with a large 5828mAh battery that can last up to 24 days on standby. This means you can go longer between charges, a big advantage for people who are often on the move or in areas with limited power supply. The phone also supports 45W fast charging, so when you do need to charge, it won’t keep you waiting for long.

Sleek and Stylish Design:
Despite its tough build, the C75 doesn’t sacrifice style. It’s slim and light, available in two attractive colors: Lighting Gold and Storm Black. The phone measures just 7.99mm in thickness and weighs 196 grams, making it comfortable to hold and carry.

All these features combined made the realme C75 a clear winner for the Best Quality Smartphone of the Year. It’s a phone designed for those who want durability and top performance without paying top price.

While the C75 was recognised for its build and quality, the realme Note 50 earned the award for Best Marketing Strategy — a reflection of how realme connects with Nigerian consumers in a fresh and engaging way.

What is unique about realme?

Yes but my experience with their brand wasn't cool at all. The phone malfunctions. I got two on the same day. One for myself and one for my daughter but omo, we had to sell them off barely 2 months after purchase. I will never advice anyone to buy their phones for now. Except they have improved on their phones

Thanks for this information. I was planning to buy one

AllBlack:
This very phone abi another RealMi?

Mushmush:
There's is Realme. Realme is different from Redmi. For now I'd advice you don't buy their phones until they step up their game. My experience with their phone was a very unpleasant one

This very RealMe C75 abi which one are you talking about?

what model was yours? so we can know the time difference between the two. Thanks

Mushmush:
You are welcome. Don't buy yet. They need to improve on their phones. For now, I'd advice you don't buy. Hopefully in the future, they'll step up their game. My experience and my daughter's own wasn't a pleasant one at all.

Mushmush:
It was this same Realme C75. I got it from their sole distributor in my state.

Ah! And na the phone come carry world cup like this. Good lord.

Thanks for the clarification.

Mushmush:
The phone malfunctions at will, it gets too hot sometimes even when it's not in use. The call recorder is embarrassing, the moment you start recording, it notifies the other party that this call is now been recorded. Most of the app lock apps on Google Play store don't work well on the phone. Sometimes the phone will trip off and refuse to come on for minutes but the last straw that broke the camel's back was when my daughter's own tripped off and refuse to power on for almost a week. The day I took it to where I purchased it, you won't believe that immediately the tried to power it on, the phone powered on. Instantly I went and advertised the phone online for sale and that same day I sold the both of them

Sonofwar:
I see there is so much hype about that phone, but I have been skeptical. I have always wanted a review from someone who has used the phone before buying

AllBlack:
And we have NCC and SON in this wonderful egunje country
