Realme C25: Budget-Friendly Smartphone with Impressive Features
For someone in need of something very much within budget, the Realme C25 is that economy smartphone, which promises solid battery life, some decent displays and good performance, along with the usual types.
Launched on Android v11, this gets you a very familiar and pretty easy-to-use UI. The thickness of the device is about 9.6mm, so it does feel a bit huge, and is weighed at 209g, so sometimes can feel heavy in hand.
This device comes with a rear fingerprint sensor, offering quite fast and safe unlocking.
Display and Build Quality
Realme C25 carries a 6.5-inch LCD display. The modern smartphones have larger displays; this is a small one. The resolution of the display is at 1600×720 pixels and pixel density is at 269 ppi. Overall, it is an average display experience.
Sunlight Screen technology is supported by the device, through which it is possible to use the device outside.
COG Sealing Process has given toughness to the device. It also supports WideVine L3, so customers can stream video in standard definition.
The screen runs at a standard 60Hz refresh rate with a Water Drop Notch to accommodate the front-facing camera.
Camera Setup
The Realme C25 features a triple rear camera setup with a 13MP main sensor, a 2MP macro lens, and a 2MP depth sensor. The camera quality is average for this price range, suitable for casual photography.
It can record videos in 720p HD resolution. On the front, it sports an 8MP camera with a CMOS sensor, good enough for selfies and video calls but not the best for low-light conditions.
Performance and Storage
It flaunts the Mediatek Helio G70 chipset-the real octa-core processor that operates at a 2GHz that will deliver mid-range performance for tasks like straightforward surfing, social media, and casual gaming.
Available in 4GB RAM, the C25 variant will be good for basic multitasking but wouldn’t fare well with more demanding apps.
The 128GB of inbuilt storage is now very welcome, and that’s a great amount of space for storing apps, media, and documents. There is also a slot for a dedicated memory card, expandable up to 256GB.
Connectivity and Battery Life
Realme C25 supports 4G and VoLTE for reliable network connectivity. It comes with Bluetooth v5.0 and WiFi and provides stable and fast wireless connections.
The device is complemented with a USB-C port, making charging and data transfer more efficient.
Perhaps one of the best visible characteristics of the Realme C25 is that it comes with a massive battery capacity of 6000mAh.
For heavy usage, the user does not have to recharge the phone so often because it also packs a fast charger with 18W, thus providing minimal time-out situations.
