| 2-minute Review [Positives] |
- Well-built, sturdy design - the unique dual-tone ridged pattern similar to other Poco phones at the back looks really nice
- The front carries a dew-drop notch with decent bezels, which works for the price
- The textured back surface feels grippy and doesn't attract fingerprints
- The Face Unlock works decently in well-lit surroundings (though it leaves you at the helm of the passcode at night)
- It doesn't feel too thick or heavy even though it measures around 9mm and weighs 194g
- Good 6.53-inch IPS HD+ display - the viewing angles and colours are pretty good, better than those of the Realme C12 and C15
- The brightness is also adequate (though, it could have been better)
- MIUI 11 is as feature rich as ever, the overall interface on the phone is user friendly - Android 10 is running beneath all the jazz
- Decent entry-level performance from the MediaTek Helio G35 SoC - good for day-to-day tasks and can handle a bunch of light to medium apps at once (though, there's some noticeable stutter in the animations and opening apps at times)
- Decent triple rear cameras for the price - a 13MP primary camera, a 2MP macro, and a 2MP depth sensor
- The quality of photos from the main camera is decent, given enough light - shots came out looking crisp and vivid
- The macro camera works nicely, it produces usable photos in well-lit conditions for social media
- Portrait mode works fairly well, even for objects
- The 5MP selfie camera can produce decent selfies during the day - photos maintain good color, and exposure levels
- Very good battery life - easily able to go about a day and half or even longer, on a single charge
- The Poco C3 is a good smartphone for first-time buyers, or for those wanting a cheap secondary phone
|
- Pleasant, refreshing design - back is textured similar to other budget realme phones, there is also a strip coming down the square-shape camera module, which adds a bit of charm to overall look
- Front has a similar affair with a dew-drop notch and thin bezels
- The patterned back 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
- 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 C11 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
- Decent dual camera setup for the price - a 13MP primary shooter + a 2MP depth sensor
- The main camera can click photos with good details in bright light - photos have a lot of details, colours have a punch, come out well even when shot against a direct light source, thanks to the HDR and chroma boost
- The portrait shots look good, and the edge detection is decent as well
- The 5MP front camera can shoot decent selfies - the portrait mode works for the front camera as well, bringing out a more aggressive bokeh effect than the one produced by the dedicated sensor at the back
- Decent video recording quality, with a option to shoot slow motion videos
- Uses the old MicroUSB plug, while the competition has started offering USB Type-C in the budget segment
- Impressive battery life with a big 5000 mAh battery - it lasts for two full days on a single charge with moderate usage
- Realme C11 is worth buying as long as your usage is basic - it has a good display that produces bright colours, cameras manage to deliver beautiful shots and the battery the can last days

| 2-minute Review [Negatives] |
- It packs in plenty pre-installed bloatware, the ads are still here, it isn't the perfect user experience
- The Redmi 9 really struggles in low light - details are generally weak when shooting at night
- Video quality is strictly average
- The phone doesn't support fast charging and an hour of charge could only fill the battery to 40-percent charge
- Thought if you can spend little more, there are better options available from Xiaomi and Realme
|
- A bit heavy, at 196g
- 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
- Performance of the realme C11 is strictly average - the apps begin to lag when you try browsing the internet and running apps in the background simultaneously - as far as gaming is concerned, it is capable of handling light games only such as Temple Run, Candy Crush etc
- Low light photos are average, as expected, they lack detail and aren't very sharp
- Charging is on the slower side with the 10W charger - it takes over 3 hours to charge the smartphone completely
- If you're looking for a good performing phone with all other bells and whistles, there's the realme C3 as alternative
