It’s not too long ago that the Realme C1 was introduced in the Philippines. The brand even updated the C1 to a 2019 edition. This time, however, they have introduced a successor to the C1, the aptly named Realme C2.
Like the C1 before it, the Realme C2 packs a decent enough specification sheet with a great price. The smartphone is powered by an 8-core MediaTek P22 chip with 2GB/3GB of RAM and 16GB/32GB of internal storage.
Instead of a large notch, the Realme C2 now carries a Dewdrop notch on its 6.1-inch 1520 x 720 screen. On its small notch is a 5MP Selfie Camera with AI implementation as well as capability for Face Unlock.
The Realme C2 will now have a Diamond-cut design on its rear. Breaking up the rear design is are 13MP + 2MP dual rear cameras with Chroma Boost. The rear main camera can also shoot 80fps in slow motion albeit at only 480p.
The smartphone is powered by a 4,000mAh battery. Realme has included a triple-cut SIM tray that will allow users to have two SIM cards alongside a dedicated MicroSD slot.
