2-minute Review [Positives]	N/A	Beautiful diamond-cut pattern on the back - it's a head turner, and quite impressive for this price bracket - you will find an identical back design on the more expensive Realme 1 and Realme 2 smartphones - the only difference here is instead of the glossy plastic, the Realme C2 is offering a matte finish Offers a very comfortable grip because of the textured back The matte finish and textured back also don’t attract fingerprints or smudges, like many other modern glossy phones The plastic body makes it feel light There is no fingerprint reader, but the face unlock system is pretty good Modern, tall, dew-drop notch display Quite good for binge-watching videos Ships with latest version of Android, Android Pie - one of the few affordable phones to do that ColorOS 6 adds a ton of nifty features, and an app drawer (something that had been requested by users from a long time) Decent day-to-day performance with a Helio P22 chipset (similar to Snapdragon 625) - basic use, and casual games run just fine - though of course, this is not a phone for power users Pretty decent camera performance, especially for daytime use - the images have decent enough details and punchy colors There is also Chroma Boost mode if you want more saturated and well-contrasted images. The shutter speed is fast enough and auto-focus is snappy Overall, this is one of the best camera setups in the ultra-budget category Excellent battery life with a large 4000mAh battery - with light to moderate use, you will get nearly two days of battery Overall, the Realme C2 is another 'very good bang for your buck' device from Realme, that can compete with similar phones from the current leader, Xiaomi - you get a beautiful design, a big display with a tiny notch, decent cameras, and an excellent 4000mAh battery - this is a very good pick for basic smartphone users, who don't need the best performance from their smartphones, but want a solid device otherwise (if you do need faster performance, you will want to look at higher price brackets)
2-minute Review [Negatives]	N/A	Display resolution is on the low side Average legibility under sunlight There are a bunch of preloaded apps, including DailyHunt, UC Browser, NewsPoint, ShareChat, Amazon India, Wynk Music, Webnovel, Opera browser etc - though thankfully you can uninstall all of these apps to save some storage space Indoor (low-light) shots are average though, as you would expect from this price bracket - you can use Chrome Boost for slightly better results but, the mode takes time to deliver the final output
