The realme C63 comes with a yellow realme box sleeve that easily slips off to reveal the main box. Removing the sleeve reveals a small box that contains the free plastic case, the SIM ejector tool, the quick guide booklet, and the warranty card.
Under that is the actual phone carefully wrapped in plastic. Removing the phone reveals the 45W SUPERVOOC Charging brick and the Type-C cable that snuggly fits into the container.
Overall, the unboxing experience of the realme C63 was comparable to other realme phones in this lineup. The addition of the free plastic case always adds something to the unboxing experience and is very much an appreciated addition.

One thing to note about the C63 is its Weather Proof design. The realme C63 has been given a certification for High Reliability through realme labs testing. This ensures that the phone has a certain level of durability even with accidental drops. Of course, results may vary depending on external factors and situations, but the realme C63 can take a beating and survive.
The realme C63 has two exquisite colorways: Jade Green and Leather Blue. The one on our hands sports the Leather Blue variant made of premium vegan leather. It features a coarse lychee texture that makes the phone easier to grip and nice to touch.

Looking at the phone, you’ll notice how slim it is at 7.74mm. It also comes with a 6.7” 90Hz HD+ Display that gives you a decent viewing experience. The realme C63 offers a vibrant screen that can go down to 1 Nit of brightness to lessen eye strain and help you navigate dark places.
A call back to its Weather Proof design, the realme C63 also has an IP54 Dust and Water resistance rating as an added layer of protection. This means you can comfortably use it outdoors even with unprecedented climate conditions. You can even use the Rainwater Smart Touch feature that maintains the proper register of clicks even when the screen is moist.
Charging
Fit for the champion lifestyle, realme C63 packs a 5000mAh battery that can last for a long time thanks to realme’s charging technologies. You’ll also be at peace knowing that the realme C63 has been given a TÜV Rheinland Safe Fast-Charge System Certification that guarantees safety from overheating, short circuits, plus drops & impact among others.

Based on our testing, the phone’s 45W SUPERVOOC Charge can charge the phone to 30% in just 15 minutes. It also reached 50% in just 30 minutes like the brand claimed. Finally, the phone reached 100% in just an hour and fifteen minutes of being plugged in. Personally, as someone who’s always on the go, I appreciate the quickness and efficiency that the realme C63’s charging provides. For my lifestyle with zero to little downtime, being able to charge my phone up to 30% in fifteen minutes helps a lot in maximizing my productivity for the day.
The realme C63 also has smart charging algorithms infused within its system that improve charging performance. With VCVT Intelligent Tuning algorithms, the phone can even adjust the voltage and current it is using. The phone also could learn the user’s charging patterns to maximize conserving battery health and age.

Powered by the Unisoc T612 Processor, the realme C63 provides sufficient power within its price segment. Our testing showed that it can run games like Mobile Legends and Asphalt 9 smoothly in its default setting. However, for other heavy games such as Genshin Impact, we recommend playing the game in the lowest setting possible, so you’ll encounter less lag. Overall, for the realme C63’s price range, it delivers a smooth gameplay performance for most of the games you’d expect to be able to play.
Additionally, the realme C63 runs on realme UI based on Android 14 giving its users a clean and organized interface.

It boasts a 50MP main shooter at the back, as well as an 8MP front-facing camera perfect for selfies. The 50MP shooter at the back produces vibrant photos with decent detail and saturation. This camera set-up also has a secondary lens called the “Flicker Camera” that helps in correcting light and capturing images even under dark situations.
