Realme has officially launched its latest budget smartphone in Indonesia—the Realme C71 NFC. Targeting the entry-level segment. The C71 NFC arrives with powerful features rarely found in phones priced under Rp2 million. These include a massive 6,300mAh battery, 45W fast charging, NFC support, a slim and elegant design, and flagship-inspired AI features—all designed to meet the everyday needs of modern users.
Massive Battery and Fast Charging Support
The Realme C71 NFC’s most standout feature is its ultra-large 6,300mAh battery, claimed to provide up to two full days of typical use on a single charge. This makes it ideal for users who need long-lasting power without being tethered to a charger.
Realme complements this with 45W SuperVOOC fast charging technology, allowing the battery to charge from 0 to 50% in just about 43 minutes. Even more impressively, a quick 5-minute top-up provides up to 9.5 hours of usage time—perfect for emergencies or when you’re on the go.
Not stopping there, the C71 NFC includes 6W reverse charging, allowing the phone to double as a power bank to charge other devices via USB-C.
Sleek Design Meets Durability
Despite the large battery, the Realme C71 NFC maintains a remarkably slim profile at just 7.79 mm thick and weighs only 196 grams, making it one of the thinnest and lightest in its class.
Its design is inspired by nature’s elegance, with a “Light Feather” texture and reflective finish that gives it a premium feel. The phone, which is made to appeal to a broad spectrum of customers, comes in three gorgeous colors: White Swan, Violet Parrot, and Forest Owl.
On the durability front, Realme equips the C71 NFC with ArmorShell™ Protection, which protects the device from drops up to 1.5 meters. The phone also features SonicWave Water Ejection, a clever addition that uses high-frequency vibrations to expel moisture from the speaker grill—typically a feature reserved for premium models.
Smooth Display with Pulse Notification Light
The C71 NFC sports a large 6.72-inch IPS LCD screen with a refresh rate of 120Hz, making everyday scrolling and animations feel smoother. Eye Comfort mode is also included, ensuring better readability and reducing eye strain during extended use.
Adding a playful and useful touch, Realme has introduced the Pulse Light Notification system on the back panel. This interactive LED ring lights up during calls, messages, charging, camera countdowns, and music playback. Users can customize it with up to 7 colors and 5 animation modes, providing both functionality and fun.
NFC and AI-Powered Smart Features
As the name implies, the Realme C71 NFC enables Near Field Communication (NFC), which makes it possible to make quick and easy digital payments, top up e-money, and connect access cards—a function that is becoming more and more necessary in today’s urban environment.
It also boasts a suite of AI-powered features typically found in higher-end models, including:
- AI Noise Reduction Call 2.0 for clearer voice calls
- AI Clear Face for enhanced selfies
- AI Eraser for removing unwanted objects from photos
- With a tap and hold, Google Gemini Circle to Search allows for more intelligent on-screen searches.
These features offer significant added value for users who want premium-like functionality at an affordable price.
Performance and Memory Options
Under the hood, the C71 NFC is powered by a Unisoc T7250 octa-core processor, based on a 12nm architecture and capable of clocking speeds up to 1.8GHz. It is paired with 4GB, 6GB, or 8GB of RAM, each with Dynamic RAM Expansion up to 16GB virtually, allowing up to 24GB total RAM for improved multitasking.
The phone offers 128GB of internal storage, expandable via microSD card, providing ample room for photos, apps, and files. For sound, the C71 NFC includes Ultra Volume 400% technology, ensuring loud and clear audio even in noisy environments.
Camera Capabilities
