We are back with another gaming review, and today we’re going to test the gaming capability of the realme C100.
First up is Mobile Legends. We will be playing using the highest available graphics settings.
During our testing, I encountered some slowdowns on the home screen, but these mostly occurred during the initial setup and while downloading game assets. In actual gameplay, performance was generally smooth; however, the device was unable to consistently reach the 60 FPS mark. There were also moments when it struggled to maintain stable frame rates.
FPS Results: 48 to 51 FPS
Temperature: 38.9°C (after 6 minutes of gameplay)
Next is League of Legends: Wild Rift. We headed into a custom match and set everything to the highest available settings. Similar to Mobile Legends, I encountered several FPS drops and stutters on the home screen. Loading times were also noticeably slow, and the device had a delayed response when navigating menus.
When it came to actual gameplay, I did not enjoy playing Wild Rift on this device. Despite having a stable internet connection and low ping, there was a noticeable delay in my inputs, making it feel like I was playing on a high-latency connection. The game briefly hit 60 FPS, but only for a short period.
FPS Results: 33 to 53 FPS
Temperature: 40.4°C (after 10 minutes of gameplay)
Third is Call of Duty: Mobile. Our settings were configured to Low graphics with Max Frame Rate enabled. Despite selecting the highest frame rate option, the device failed to break the 30 FPS mark.
There were also noticeable frame drops during gunfights, which negatively affected the overall experience. Just like Wild Rift, this was not an enjoyable title to play on the realme C100.
FPS Results: 18 to 30 FPS
Temperature: 42.7°C (after 5 minutes of gameplay)
Next up is Asphalt Legends. Given the performance in the previous titles, we decided to stick with the default graphics settings while increasing the frame rate option to 60 FPS.
There were some noticeable stutters on the home screen, but thankfully, gameplay itself was relatively smooth. Although the game did not reach the 60 FPS target, the experience remained enjoyable overall.
FPS Results: 44 to 53 FPS
Temperature: 40.0°C (after 7 minutes of gameplay)
Now let’s move on to more graphically demanding games.
First is Zenless Zone Zero. We set the game to Low graphics with a 60 FPS target. Unfortunately, the game is practically unplayable on this device.
Even at the lowest settings, performance is extremely poor, with frequent freezes, stutters, and severe frame drops during both exploration and combat.
FPS Results: 4 to 14 FPS
Temperature: 43.0°C (after 5 minutes of gameplay)
Next is Neverness to Everness, also set to Low graphics with a 60 FPS target. Unfortunately, performance was even worse than Zenless Zone Zero.
After loading into the game, it took several seconds before the user interface appeared, and the game frequently froze throughout the session. The frame rate never even exceeded 10 FPS, making it completely unplayable on this device.
FPS Results: 2 to 10 FPS
Temperature: 39.3°C (after 4 minutes of gameplay)
Overall, the realme C100 is not a good option for mobile gaming. It struggles to provide a smooth experience in competitive titles and can barely run graphically demanding games. If you’re planning to purchase this device, don’t expect strong gaming performance.
