Apple launched the iPhone 14 Pro and iPhone 14 Pro Max with Dynamic Island last year. Like many others from Apple, we expected this feature to be copied eventually by Android OEMs. And it finally happened a few weeks ago when Realme announced the Realme C55 with Mini Capsule. Let’s take a quick look at what the Realme C55 has to offer besides the simple Mini Capsule.

The Realme C55 comes in Rainy Night and Sunshower versions. The back cover of the latter, pictured throughout this article, flaunts a shower-like pattern, reflecting rainbow colors at different angles. The camera island is designed to give the impression of sunbeams emanating from the camera. That’s probably where the name Sunshower comes from.
