2-minute Review [Positives]	N/A	Catchy, elegant 'Sunrise' rear design, similar to the Realme 5i - the back panel produces a sun-ray like pattern when light hits it which looks stunning Trendy, tear-drop notch front design - the bezels on the sides are impressively thin for smartphones at this price The matte finished back with lines and patterns almost completely eliminates the chances of getting fingerprints or smudges - it also adds a lot of grip and gives the phone a very solid, sturdy feel The 20:9 aspect ratio makes the smartphone tall and slim, so it's relatively comfortable to hold and use Face recognition is quick to unlock the smartphone in different lighting conditions Large, 6.5 inch IPS display with HD+ resolution - the colors are vibrant with a decent amount of sharpness Sunlight legibility is also good - the display gets bright enough for comfortable outdoor use The Realme C3 comes with Realme UI based on Android 10 which is much more streamlined and clean compared to previous realme phones - it still packs a lot of useful features like Dark mode, Focus mode, Game Space and Personal Information Protection Excellent performance for the price - the MediaTek Helio G70 throws the competition out of the park and scores even higher at benchmarks than the much pricier Galaxy A51 and the Oppo F15 - there's no noticeable lag in regular use and PUBG Mobile on the Realme C3 defaulted to High presets and ran fairly smooth Decent dual camera setup for the price - a 12MP primary shooter + a 2MP depth sensor In daylight, the Realme C3 is quick to lock focus and does a fair job of metering light, photos look good and the quality is better than what some of the other smartphones at this price point can produce There's also a decent Macro mode which lets you get very close to the subject (focusing at close distance could be an issue though) Decent portrait mode, with good edge detection (though, the quality could have been better) Decent video recording quality, with a option to shoot slow motion videos Impressive battery life with a big 5000 mAh battery - it lasts for two full days on a single charge with moderate usage The Realme C3 is an easy smartphone to recommend and a solid update to the Realme C2 - it packs a powerful SoC, battery life is excellent, offers a large screen for media consumption and camera performance is acceptable for the price
2-minute Review [Negatives]	N/A	A bit heavy, at 195g There is no Widevine L1 certification which means that you cannot enjoy HD content on Netflix and Amazon Prime There's still some bloatware that comes pre-installed Low light photos are average, as expected, they lack detail and aren't very sharp Selfies are average too with inaccurate colour tone and low sharpness and details Still offers the old MicroUSB, while the competition has started offering USB Type-C in the budget segment Charging is on the slower side with the 10W charger - it takes over 3 hours to charge the smartphone completely
