When the Realme C12 was launched alongside the C15 last year, the two smartphones looked very similar on paper and yet commanded very different prices. In 2021, the manufacturer has brought down the prices of both smartphones' successors. The Realme C25 (Review) has a faster MediaTek Helio G70 processor, while the Realme C12's successor, the C21, now starts at an entry-level price of Rs. 7,999.

Realme C21 Summary

The Realme C21 is a typical low-end budget smartphone that could serve as a first smartphone for many. Given its entry-level pricing, it makes for a great basic smartphone for calling, messaging, or even for remote learning. Users going in for the Realme C21 should not expect much from it in terms of power and performance. With that in mind, the main focus of the Realme C21 is to be able to run apps (like WhatsApp, Facebook etc.) and offer good battery life. As expected, the C21 does a decent job of running apps and offers a usable software experience with a few hiccups. Battery life is quite solid and because it’s a bit lower in capacity than the 6,000mAh battery in Realme C25, it also charges quicker.
