Realme C2 Launched

Realme C2 has been officially launched in India. Unveiled on the sidelines of the Realme 3 Pro announcement, the new budget smartphone from Realme sports a diamond-cut design that is made with a laser-cut technology and three-layer paintjob. The Realme C2 also sports a dual rear camera setup and features a 19.5:9 display panel. As a successor to the Realme C1 that was launched last year, the Realme C2 is powered by a MediaTek Helio P22 SoC along with up to 3GB of RAM. The Realme C2 is designed to take on the likes of the Samsung Galaxy M10 and Redmi 7. It comes in two storage variants -- with 16GB and 32GB of onboard storage. There is also dedicated microSD card support for storage expansion.

Overview

The Realme C2, as expected comes with a plastic body and a design that’s all too generic. It doesn’t look like there have been many improvements in the design front. The Realme C2 features a 6.1″ IPS LCD display with HD+ resolution. That is to be expected of a budget phone, however.

Camera wise, you get a dual camera setup of 13 MP and a 2 MP depth sensor. As for selfies, there is a 5 MP unit on the water-drop notch up front. Also, this phone runs on the Helio P22 as compared to last year’s Snapdragon 450. That does mean a slightly improved performance on paper, but let’s see how it fares, though. Storage wise, there are 2 variants. The base model comes with 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage, whereas, another variant has a 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. But if the storage is not enough, they are expandable via microSD card slot.
As for the battery, strangely, this phone sees a downgrade. The Realme C2 has a 4000 mAh, compared to 4230 mAh on the C1. And being a budget phone, I don’t expect it to have any kind of Fast Charging. It runs on ColorsOS 6 based on Android Pie and is priced at $86 (INR.6000) for the base model whereas the 3 / 32 GB variant costs $115 (INR.8000).
