In a market where battery anxiety remains one of the biggest frustrations among smartphone users, realme is making a bold play with the launch of its new C100 Series in the Philippines.
Headlined by the campaign “One Charge, Endless Power,” the lineup introduces the realme C100 and realme C100i, two smartphones designed for Filipinos who spend long hours online — whether for work, school, entertainment, or staying connected with family and friends.
Massive batteries power days of uninterrupted use
At the heart of the new series is battery life.
The C100 comes equipped with an 8,000mAh Titan Battery, one of the largest capacities in its segment, allowing users to go longer between charges.
The device is also backed by a seven-year battery health guarantee, with realme claiming it can retain up to 80% of its original capacity over that period.
Complementing the large battery is 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging, capable of charging the device from zero to 50 percent in just 46 minutes. It also supports 10W reverse charging, enabling users to power compatible gadgets when needed.
For those seeking a more affordable option, the realme C100i offers a 7,000mAh Titan Battery with a six-year battery health certification.
According to the smartphone maker, the device can deliver up to 53 hours of calls, 24 hours of messaging, and more than 20 hours of video playback on a single charge.
Designed to withstand life’s everyday challenges
Beyond battery endurance, realme is also emphasizing durability. The C100 carries IP69 Pro certification, providing protection against dust, high-pressure water exposure, and accidental immersion.
It is further reinforced with ArmorShell™ Glass and MIL-STD-810H military-grade shock resistance, features designed to withstand the bumps and drops of everyday use.
Both models also come with Rain Touch Mode, allowing the display to remain responsive even with wet hands — a practical feature in a tropical country where sudden downpours are common.
On the display front, both smartphones feature a 6.8-inch 120Hz screen, offering smoother scrolling and a more fluid viewing experience.
The C100 sports a Blooming Design accented by a customizable pulse light, while the C100i includes a 300% Ultra Volume Speaker aimed at users who enjoy watching videos or listening to music without headphones.
Premium features arrive at accessible price points
During the launch, realme Philippines Marketing Director Alice Liu highlighted the company’s effort to combine premium features with accessible pricing.
“For this realme C100 Series, with its great performance, big battery, and better durability, I would be happy to share with you our final offer,” Liu said.
The C100 carries a suggested retail price of ₱16,999 for the 4GB+256GB variant and ₱19,999 for the 8GB+256GB variant. Launch discounts, however, bring prices down to ₱14,999 and ₱17,999, respectively.
Powering the devices are the MediaTek Helio G92 Max processor for the C100 and the Unisoc T7250 chipset for the C100i. Both run on realme UI 7.0 based on Android 16 and support expandable storage, with configurations reaching up to 8GB+256GB on the C100 and 4GB+256GB on the C100i.
Meanwhile, the realme C100i starts at ₱8,999, with promotional pricing lowering select variants even further. Online shoppers can purchase the series through realme’s official stores on Shopee, Lazada, and TikTok Shop, where introductory offers run until June 30.

Discounts and freebies sweeten the launch offers
Alongside its introductory pricing, realme is rolling out a series of launch promotions that include accessories, extended warranty coverage, screen protection benefits, and installment options through Home Credit.
Launch offers will be released in phases, with early buyers of the realme C100 from June 18 to June 25 receiving bundled freebies that include an SKG Neck Massager, a Privilege Card with six months of extended warranty and screen damage protection, and a ₱2,000 discount.
The package carries a total value of up to ₱6,498.
Customers purchasing during the first-selling period from June 26 to July 5 can still enjoy a Privilege Card and a ₱2,000 discount.
For the realme C100i, pre-orders scheduled from July 6 to July 9 come with a free TechLife Smart Band and a ₱2,000 discount, while buyers during the first-selling period from July 10 to July 19 can receive discounts of up to ₱2,000 on select variants.
The company is also offering 0% installment plans through Home Credit for qualified buyers.
The realme C100 Series is now available nationwide through online platforms and retail stores, strengthening the brand’s push in the budget smartphone segment, where battery life, durability, and value continue to be key purchasing considerations.
