| 2-minute Review [Positives] |
- 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
|
- 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] |
- 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
|
- 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
