Design and Display
The Realme C67 5G has the same dimensions, weight, and design as its predecessor, the Realme Narzo 60x. This consistent design approach is not unique to the C series but extends to the Realme number series as well, exemplified by the Realme 11 5G and the 11x 5G. The back is made up of plastic and has a round camera module like a sad emoji. The camera lens acts like the eyes whereas the flash acts as the mouth. The back has a sparkly matte finish, whereas the plastic frame has a shiny finish with rounded edges.
On the front, it has a hole-punch cutout that houses the selfie camera. The selfie camera also has a dynamic island feature like in the Apple iPhone 14 Pro series and the whole iPhone 15 series which was first featured by Realme in their Realme C55 smartphone. Realme calls it the Mini Capsule 2.0. The Mini Capsule is not a physical and separate area like Apple iPhones but a software feature. The Mini Capsule displays weather, time, date, notification, alarm, calls and many more.
