Realme has launched the Narzo 100x 5G and C100x in India, featuring massive 8,000 mAh batteries and 144Hz displays. Aimed at heavy users, the phones combine extended battery life with 45W fast charging and durable IP65-rated designs, with the Narzo 100x 5G starting at ₹20,999.
NEW DELHI — Realme has officially expanded its smartphone portfolio in India with the launch of the Narzo 100x 5G and the C100x, two devices centered on high-capacity battery performance. The Narzo 100x 5G was released on July 15, 2026, followed by the debut of the C100x on July 16, 2026. Both models feature an 8,000 mAh "Titan" battery, setting a new benchmark for endurance in the mid-range smartphone market.
The launch of these devices follows Realme's broader H2 2026 strategy, which includes a significant retail expansion and a commitment to strengthening its presence in the ₹10,000 to ₹30,000 price segment.
High-Performance Endurance
The flagship feature of the new lineup is the 8,000 mAh battery, which the company claims can provide up to three days of usage on a single charge. To balance this massive capacity with modern usability, both phones support 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging and include features like bypass charging to manage heat during extended gaming sessions.
The Realme Narzo 100x 5G, in particular, is marketed toward gamers and heavy users. It is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset and features a 6.8-inch HD+ LCD display with a 144Hz refresh rate and 1,200 nits of peak brightness. The device also carries a 50MP dual-camera setup and meets military-grade durability standards (MIL-STD-810H), alongside an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance.
Market Positioning and Retail Strategy
The Narzo 100x 5G is available in three configurations, with prices starting at ₹20,999 for the 4GB/128GB variant, ₹22,999 for the 6GB/128GB model, and ₹24,999 for the 6GB/256GB version. The C100x is positioned as a slightly more accessible option, with prices expected to range from ₹17,990 to ₹25,999 depending on the variant.
The release is part of Realme’s intensified focus on the Indian market for the second half of 2026. Earlier this month, the company announced a ₹10 crore investment in co-marketing initiatives and plans to establish 1,800 premium retail zones across the country to bolster its offline sales network.
