The realme C55 is the latest smartphone from the Chinese manufacturer to launch in Kenya. You can get the phone in the country for Ksh 24,899 for the 8GB RAM variant with 256GB storage. This is the perfect variant if you ask me as it does offer a good balance of the specs and the price.
At this price, the realme C55 is a direct competitor to the Infinix Hot 30, Redmi 12C just to name a few. All these are new smartphones launched in Kenya in 2023 and you are probably looking at them too if you are searching for a new smartphone under 25K.
Back to the realme C55, it acts as the successor to the realme C35 from last year. The C55 has a standout 64MP main sensor that should help you get clear shots in different lighting conditions. This is not the only good thing about this phone, it also has a display that supports 90Hz refresh rate, is powered by the MediaTek Helio G88 processor and has a 5000 mAh battery that supports 33W charging among others.
