Editorial report

Realme C3i technical sheet

The Realme C3i suits someone looking for a basic phone for everyday tasks who values battery capacity; the trade-off is a dimmer display than most phones launched around the same time. Its 6.5-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1600 px resolution and reaches 480 nits. That brightness is below average for phones of its time, while pixel density is 270 ppi. Its AnTuTu result is also below average among phones launched around the same time, making performance one of its weaker points on specifications.

The rear main camera has 12 MP and a 1/2.8-inch sensor, smaller than those in most phones of its time. It records video at 1080p and 30 fps, with 120 fps slow motion also available. The 5,000 mAh battery has more capacity than most, but 10 W charging is slower than on most phones launched around the same time. The configuration includes 2 GB of RAM, 32 GB of expandable storage, Android 10, dual SIM, NFC, and a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Overall, the Realme C3i stands worse than most phones launched around the same time, with a NeoScore of 3.8. It makes the most sense for basic use where battery capacity matters, provided the lower-than-average display brightness, slow charging, and limited memory are acceptable trade-offs.
