The Realme Note 60 is almost a rugged phone, but it has a normal design that hides everything
While others worry about having the most powerful processor, the best cameras or the best artificial intelligence, Realme has just opened a new battle front: that of ultra-durable phones with an affordable price and standard design. Sure, there are more modest brands that offer affordable off-road devices, but they are usually over-the-top and heavy.
The Realme Note 60 isn’t like that, though It looks like any other standard cell phone that you will find in stores. Indeed, weighs only 187 grams and its size is quite regular, but don’t let that fool you.
Realme has provided this smartphone with IP64 protection, which means it is completely protected protected from dust particles and resistant to water jets up to 10 liters per minute. Furthermore, It’s the first low-end with ArmorShell on the planet.
What should it be? ArmorShell e.g a structural protection system designed to increase the life and durability of phones. And how does he do it? With the synergistic work of these elements:
- Complete structure in cast aluminium under pressure.
- Structure entirely in metal.
- Reinforced glass on the screen and on the back cover.
- Protective bezel for the screen.
- Absorption system of shots.
- InSeal designwith a completely sealed body.
Come on, ArmorShell is a nice and engaging way to tell us about things that have been on the market for a long time. However, in the case of the Realme Note 60 this is an absolute novelty, since it is not common at all to see such a cheap mobile phone with metal frame and bezelsFor example. Now, Is this the only thing this phone offers? At all.
The Realme Note 60 has a 90Hz screen, a 5000mAh battery and 128GB of storage
While its main appeal is durability, the Realme Note 60 has other attractive elements for its price.
An example of this is its screen, a huge 6.74-inch IPS panel, 90 Hz refresh rate, HD+ resolution and a brightness of 560 nits. It’s not the panacea for screens, but it’s very good for a device under €140. Another example is the battery, which has a capacity of 5000 mAh, albeit with standard 10W charging, or the 128GB memory.
The Realme Note 60 has the Unisoc T612 inside. It’s a modest chip, but it does basic tasks well. Furthermore, sand comes with 6GB of RAM (and up to 8 GB more virtually), enough to host several threads in memory without problems.
Finally, you should know that this phone has a 32MP rear camera and a 5 MP front. It runs Android 14 and has 4G LTE connectivity and doesn’t leave out the 3.5mm headphone jack.
Price and availability of the Realme Note 60
The Realme Note 60 has just officially arrived in Spain and will be sold in blue or black. Its standard price will be 139 euros (which is already cheap), but you can buy it for a while 119 euros thanks to its launch offer.
There’s nothing like it on the market at that low price, unless you opt for older models. Will you let him go?
