The battery life is very good with 5,000 milliamps capacity

The processor is a Mediatech G70300, which is comparable to Flagship-grade processors from a couple years back

The device feels like a mid-range phone with a higher price tag

realme C61

In this review, I'll be diving into the Realme C61, a budget-friendly smartphone that promises to deliver on performance without breaking the bank. With its mid-range specs and affordable price tag, I'll be putting it head-to-head against another impressive contender, the CMF Phone 1, which boasts a flagship-grade display and processor at a similar cost. My goal is to provide an honest assessment of both devices, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses, to help you make an informed decision when considering your next smartphone purchase.

realme C25

The Realme C25 is a solid contender in the smartphone space, offering a huge 6,000mAh battery, decent screen, and an affordable price tag. The device has a similar design to its older brother, Luminarso 38, with a square camera cutout and rear-mounted fingerprint sensor. The back panel features a rigid texture that resembles brushed metal, making it resistant to fingerprint smudges. The Realme C25 packs a triple camera setup, including a 48MP primary lens, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 2MP macro lens. While the camera quality is decent in well-lit conditions, it struggles in low-light situations and produces over-sharpened images with excessive saturation. Under the hood, the device runs on Android 11 with RealmeUI 2.0, powered by a Mediatek Helio G70 CPU, Mali-G52 GPU, 4GB of RAM, and 128GB of internal storage. While it handles basic tasks like web browsing without issues, gaming performance is marred by slight hiccups when playing graphically intensive games. The 6.5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1600x720 pixels offers decent visuals, but the screen's brightness could be improved. The device also supports 18W fast charging and reverse wireless charging. Priced at PHP 7,490, the Realme C25 is an attractive option for those seeking a budget-friendly smartphone with a long-lasting battery and decent performance. However, its camera capabilities are a letdown, and gaming enthusiasts might find it wanting in certain areas.
