Realme quietly rolled out the C100i earlier this week, a move that left some wondering about its sibling, the C100. A recent Google Play Console listing finally confirms the C100i’s existence, showing its model number RMX5377 and a clean, 6.8‑inch LCD panel with a firm.

It packs a Unisoc T615 chip paired with 4 GB of RAM, while its 720×1570 pixel display runs at 120 Hz and peaks at 900 nits. The 8.35 mm chassis keeps a 3.5 mm jack and earns MIL‑STD‑810H ruggedness, surviving drops from two metres in the consumer market today and for durability.

Realme’s move signals a push into affordable durability, a niche still dominated by niche brands. The 900‑nit brightness and 120‑Hz refresh promise a decent multimedia experience, while the 3.5‑mm jack resists the trend toward wireless audio. The price point will be decisive.

With the C100i’s specs now public, buyers can weigh its rugged design against competitors like the Poco X5. The device’s 4‑GB RAM and mid‑tier processor keep it out of the high‑end market, positioning it as a mid‑price option for users who need durability without a premium tag.
