I wouldn't count much about deep dives, to the best of my knowledge most devices doesn't do well with the pressure of anything below 30m, so yeah it would pull off stunts in shallow water but anything more than that is in doubt.

okay okay. Thanks for this explanation

tkb01:
This is really helpful! Thanks for sharing this information

you're welcome! Glad to have been of help

tkb01:
Really fair!!! I bet realme focuses on durability and affordability without comprising much on performance abilities!

StellaGirlie:

onlyedwin:

10,000 next!

doointernationa:
So much fears that comes with accidental falls when using your most cherished device. This can be avoided when your device is drop proof. But the question is how many devices are drop proof like the realme C75 series.

they are not a lot to be honest

MyDnis:

Water-resistant phones have become increasingly popular in recent years, and it's easy to see why. With the IP69 rating becoming a standard feature in many flagship and mid-range devices, phone manufacturers are prioritizing durability and water resistance. But what exactly does IP69 mean, and which phones are leading the charge?

Understanding IP Ratings

IP stands for Ingress Protection, a rating system that measures a device's resistance to solid particles (dust) and water. The rating consists of two numbers: the first digit represents dust protection, while the second digit represents water resistance. For instance, IP68-rated phones can withstand submersion in water up to 1.5 meters for 30 minutes. However, it's essential to note that IP ratings apply to freshwater in controlled lab conditions, and saltwater, chlorinated water, or high-pressure water can still damage devices.

Every brand in Nigeria right now is doing their best to incorporate water resistance into their devices. Phones like the Tecno Spark 40, realmeC75 & C75X, the Samsung S25, you name it. The least waterproof rating on any newly released phone in Nigeria now is the IP54 and the highest is the IP69. It's fun to see phone adverts including intentionally dropping phone in water, freezing phones, putting phones under running water and all sorts of weird water tests to prove how resistant to water these phones are. Like how did we get here?

Benefits of Water-Resistant Phones

Water-resistant phones offer several benefits, including:
- Increased Durability: With water resistance, phones can withstand accidental splashes, rain, or brief submersion in water.
- Peace of Mind: Water-resistant phones provide users with confidence in their device's ability to withstand unexpected water exposure.
- Enhanced Camera Capabilities: Water-resistant phones enable users to capture photos and videos in wet conditions or underwater.

The rise of water-resistant phones has revolutionized the mobile industry, offering users increased durability and peace of mind. With top brands like Apple, Samsung, realme, Tecno and other popular brands incorporating water resistance into their devices, it's clear that this feature is here to stay. Whether you're an avid photographer or an outdoor enthusiast, water-resistant phones are definitely worth considering.
So tell me would you be getting a water resistant device? Does the water resistant trend appeal to you?

it does o. This raining season is not for the weak

Battery life o
Not only should it charge fast but it shouldn't run now fast!
Imagine real C71 with 6000mAh battery running down within 1hr 30 mins.. it's not possible

tkb01:
The price war would be so interesting to watch! 😂

Realme offers a good number of specs for the budget price while focusing on durability and reliability, so yeah this is gonna be great!

they have to be the most affordable (without compromising on quality o) phone brand at the moment

Dimmah:
I like that realme avoids flashy specs for lasting value

They're intentional about us getting value for money

doointernationa:
Thanks for sharing. This was well explained. Many can't differential. I see a lot putting phones with IP64 into water

I believe that even tho phones with IP69 that can be submerged in water and still work fine doesn't mean you should dump it in any body of water you see

Samajogs:
Do you want to use the phone forever or won't it be changed... Unnecessary attention

it's common knowledge
For what ever time you decide to use it phone, you're not going to have issues. That's the point

IheomaAkparanta:
I heard they just released the C71 as well. That company no want make we breath

honestly them just de guve us fire fof fire 😂

Praizee5:
Specs at that price point are impressive, but long-term performance will be the real test.

that's where we're at now sham
Finger's crossed they won't let us down

Praizee5:
Do you think these midrange phones will still perform well after 2–3 years?

yes.
That's the whole point
Why do you think they're called everything proof?

I was telling someone about this the other day.
The best choice of device especially for students who needs something good but are on a budget

Desewa08:
A few years ago, if you were buying a “budget phone”, you knew what to expect:
‎– Weak cameras
‎– Laggy performance
‎– Battery that couldn’t last a day
‎– Maybe even heating issues
‎
‎So when I saw the realme C75x getting hype for under ₦180K, I didn’t expect much. I just wanted something I could use daily without worrying if it would survive life in Nigeria but this phone honestly surprised Mlme. After 3 weeks of use, I’m genuinely impressed:
‎
‎• Display – 6.67" HD+ with 120Hz refresh rate. I thought 120Hz was overhyped until I tried it... scrolling feels buttery smooth.
‎
‎• Performance – Helio G81 Ultra chipset, 8GB RAM. Multitasking is super fluid. No stutters, even switching between heavy apps.
‎• Battery – 5600mAh lasts me 1.5 to 2 days easily. I watch YouTube, scroll socials, even play light games. No stress.
‎
‎• Charging – 45W Fast Charge. About 90 minutes from 0 to 100%. You blink and it’s charged.
‎
‎• Design – I got the Oceanic Blue variant. It doesn’t look cheap at all. People keep asking if it’s over ₦250K.
‎
‎Features I didn’t expect at this price
‎Some little things that shocked me:
‎– It runs Android 15 with realme UI 5
‎– Face Unlock + Side Fingerprint work crazy fast
‎– IP69 rating! This thing is waterproof, dust-resistant and drop-resistant (I’ve tested it 😅)
‎
‎All this at ₦171,000. I can’t lie, budget phones are no longer what they used to be. This is a solid midrange experience in disguise.
‎
‎What I Gained with the C75x
‎For ₦171,000 I got:
‎– Peace of mind
‎– Solid battery life
‎– Modern OS (Android 15)
‎– A rugged phone that doesn’t need a case every second
‎– And a phone I can actually use for more than 2 years.
‎
‎That’s value. No bragging rights but at least I’m not borrowing power bank every 6 hours.
‎
‎So I ask... Which Would You Choose Now?
‎In 2025, the lines are getting blurry. Some budget phones now offer better overall daily experience than aging flagships... especially if you value battery, updates and durability.
‎
‎I also know that not everyone will agree. So over to you:
‎What are you using now and why?
‎Would you go for a solid new phone like C75x or a used iPhone/Samsung flagship?
‎
‎Let’s have a proper debate
‎
‎

I can relate to the shock. When buying phones below 200k we tend to not expect much but realme is always shocking is back to back. Even the camera quality of their phones are good

Unspeakablejj22:
The two smartphone has great qualities.you shouldn't be having issues in choosing which to review . Am really impressive by the great jobs this brand are doing

dive into the C75 and compare both

Desewa08:
Battery life first! I no wan dey move with powerbank everywhere. That’s why these new realme phones dey catch my eye

Powerbank is just extra load and inconvenience.
Phones that can last a whole days without recharging are the best
