Pros and Cons

realme C30s

Strengths

Foreign the unity Hub has four gigs of RAM, which is quite impressive for a budget phone.
The device's price of 13,700 Shillings is very competitive considering its specs.
Getting a device with that amount of RAM and storage at this price point is 'sort of weird' because some companies sell the same sort of Raman storage at quite higher price points.
The phone has a 6.5 inch HD display, which is good for media consumption.
The display is color accurate and feels smooth and responsive.
The design is the best aspect of this device; it's budget-friendly but still looks good.
The flat back design is a nice touch, and I like the fact that they Embrace that single camera design with no need for an extra AI or two megapixel lens.
Performance wise, the 4 Gig Ram model offers a decent smartphone experience that will cover social media use and stuff like YouTube quite well.

Weaknesses

The brightness of the display is quite affecting in outdoor conditions.
Sometimes you'll constantly have to push brightness to just below full for good viewing even indoors.
There's only one button speaker, which can be easily blocked when holding the device.
The battery takes about 2 hours to charge from 0 to 100 due to slow speeds.
Normal use will see you getting about a day of use, but the battery can quickly drain when connected to 4G or Wi-Fi.
Camera performance is mediocre due to lack of processing power and good lenses.
Photos may take a while to process even selfies, with some color accuracy issues and sharpening issues in good lighting conditions.
The unisoft budget processor used here is built on a 28 nanometer process from 2018, which is quite dated.
