Realme C11 launched with Helio-G35 SoC: Best in the budget?

Realme has recently launched a new budget smartphone in its C-lineup in Malaysia, C11. Looking at the features and overall performance in the price segment, it would be a good deal if it makes it to Nepal in the expected price range.

Realme C11 overview

It features a massive 5000mAH battery which should last about 40 days on standby as the company claimed. The company has used the latest chipset from Mediatek, Helio G35 SoC which is launched just a day ago. It’s an octa-core CPU based at 12nm technology and clocked at 2.3GHz which is mainly focused for gaming at budget segment. Considering the price point, the phone should perform well with this new processor. The phone has an IPS LCD panel with massive size of 6.5″ and has resolution of 1600*720(HD+).

On the camera side, we’ve got AI dual camera setup on the back with a 13MP main sensor with f/2.2 aperture and 2MP portrait lens with f/2.4 aperture. On the front, there is a 5MP AI selfie camera with f/2.4 aperture having the field of view 77.9 degrees. So the phone should do good in the camera department or at least on paper.

The phone comes with a 10W Micro-USB 2.0 charger which is kinda disappointing in 2020 where USB type-c is being offered in some of the competitors like Redmi 8a and upcoming Redmi 9a and 9c. It comes with Android 10 out of the box and Realme UI 1.0 on top.
