Realme has added another entry-level smartphones to its C-series dubbed Realme C21Y. The phone has just made its global debut in Vietnam and is expected to be available in other regions soon.
The smartphone is built around a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD display that offers a screen resolution of 1600 × 720 pixels and 400nits peak brightness. It features a waterdrop notch that houses a front selfie shooter.
Under the hood, the handset is powered by a Unisoc T610 octa-core processor which is built using a 12nm fabrication process. The graphics on the handset are handled by an integrated Mali G52 GPU.
The device comes packed with 4GB LPDDRX RAM and 64GB internal storage. In the camera department, there’s a triple-camera setup on the back that includes a 13-megapixel primary sensor, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel monochrome lens.
On the front side, the smartphone features a 5-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling. Connectivity options include 4G, Dual Sim, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, AGPS, Beidou, and Glonass.
There’s also a rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. It runs the Android 10 operating system out-of-the-box which is now a bit old given that Android 12 has been officially announced. It would have been good if the company opted for the Android 11 OS. The phone has a Realme UI on top and is powered by a 5,000mAh battery.
