The Realme C25s is the latest release in the Philippines, and it's essentially an upgraded version of the original C25 that launched back in April. The main difference lies in its performance upgrade courtesy of a Mediatek Helio G85 processor, making it marginally better than its predecessor. In terms of design, the Realme C25s is identical to the C25, with a 6.5-inch IPS LCD display and a textured plastic back panel that provides a grippier surface without being prone to fingerprints or smudges. The phone's build quality feels budget-friendly, but it does come with some nice touches like a free black-tinted jelly case and a USB Type-C cable. One of the notable upgrades on the C25s is its display, which boasts a peak brightness of 570 nits - an improvement over the original C25 that only reached 480 nits. However, aside from this, the display quality remains pretty much the same as other entry-level IPS panels, with decent colors, contrast, and viewing angles. The camera setup on the Realme C25s consists of a 48-megapixel main sensor, a 2-megapixel depth sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro camera - the same configuration as the original C25. Performance-wise, the Helio G85 processor provides only a slight upgrade over the G70 in the C25, with the biggest jump being a 1000 MHz GPU turbo speed. Priced at ₱7,490 for the 4GB+64GB model and ₱8,490 for the 4GB+128GB variant, the Realme C25s feels like an unnecessary upgrade over its predecessor. Nevertheless, it's still a solid budget offering with a large 6000mAh battery and decent display quality. If you're in the market for a budget phone with a good-sized screen and adequate performance, the Realme C25s might be worth considering - but only if you can't find any other better options at this price point.
