It can display low battery alerts, data consumption, step counts, music controls and more. The idea is to have the notch as an integral part of the interface, something Apple was forced to do because of its reliance on Face ID, whose sensors take up space in the notch above the phone.

The phone has a 6.72-inch Full HD+ display with a refresh rate of 90Hz and peak brightness of 680 nits. It runs on MediaTek's Helio G88 SoC, which is paired with up to 8GB of RAM, and up to 256GB of storage.

The C55 also has a microSD slot with support for up to 1TB of storage expansion and uses the Realme UI 4.0 interface based on Android 13. Realme has used a dual-camera module with a primary 64-megapixel camera paired with a depth sensor. For selfies, there is an 8-megapixel front-facing camera.
