Design and Display

The new release from Realme opts for a unique look that it calls the Sunrise design, which was also used in Realme 5i. Realme C3 features a plastic frame with well-positioned buttons. Although, the fact that they are fitted into the structure may make them hard to find by feel.

If you look at the top of the device, you’ll find nothing there. However, there are micro-USB port, 3.mm audio jack, and a loudspeaker grille on the bottom.

Talking about its display, the Realme C3 comes with a 6.5-inch display, which is more significant than its predecessor. Like most Realme devices, it too has a dewdrop notch that houses the selfie shooter.

Performance

As mentioned earlier, it packs a brand new MediaTek Helio G70 SoC. It is an octa-core processor and makes it an amazing chipset selection for a budget smartphone like the Realme C3. The smartphone comes in two variants – the base variant being the 3/23GB and the higher one being the 4/64GB.

However, we will have to make do with the 3/32GB variant as we will not be getting the 4GB RAM variant here in Nepal. The Realme C3 runs on Android 10 with the new Realme UI 1.0 on top.

Camera

The thing about the Realme C3 is that there are two variants – global and Indian. The Indian option sports a dual-camera setup at the back with a 12MP primary sensor. Accompanying it is a 2MP depth sensor, and that’s about it. The selfie shooter is a 5-megapixel camera.

Meanwhile, the global variant has a triple camera setup with an additional 2MP macro lens. The global variant also has a fingerprint sensor which the Indian variant is missing. Well, if you are a fan of the rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, then you are in luck as Realme Nepal has launched the Global variant of Realme C3 in Nepal.

Talking about the camera modes, it’s pretty much the same as the previous Realme phones. Buyers get modes such as Time-lapse, Portrait, Slo-mo, Expert, and Pano on this device. Also, it comes with quick toggles for chroma boost and HDR.

Battery

The Realme C3 packs a massive 5000mAh battery, which delivers excellent performance and battery life. With routine tasks, it could last a whole day or more without plugging the phone on the charger. It takes over two hours to charge this smartphone completely with the 10W charger that comes in the box.
