Design and display of Realme C1
The body of Reality C1 is made of plastic, due to which it is not more than. The phone holds in the hand remained strong, due to which the four sides of the phone have been kept slightly more. But despite this, the phone does not look fat. The frames made of mate finish do not have fingers, but if you do not take care, then like Realme 2 Pro, the back panels of Realme C1 also get scars on the back panel. Corning Gorilla Glass has been used on the display for screen protection, you will also get a screen guard in the box. Reality C1 has a 6.2 inch HD+ display. We did not have any problem seeing the screen in sunlight because the display is quite bright. This price segment has only a select smartphone that comes with the Nokia design and Realme C1 is one of them.
On the right side of the phone, you will get a button to raise power and left side to the left. If the phone is caught correctly, the hand reaches the hand to the power and volume button. The side of the phone has a SIM-tray with two Nano-SIM and a microSD card (up to 256 GB). Micro-USB port, speaker and 3.5 mm headphone will be available on the bottom of the phone. On the back panel, there are LED flash with two rear cameras and the company’s Realme logo at the bottom.
Realme C1 does not have a fingerprint sensor for security, but the company has given face unlock support in it. If the light is in sufficient quantity, it works properly. The display light in low light helps in scanning your face. Of course it runs slow in low light but it works. In the retail box, you will find a silicone cover, SIM eject tool, 5 watt adapter, screen protector and a micro-USB cable in addition to the device.
Realme C1’s specification and software
For speed and multitasking, the Reality C1 uses Adreno 509 GPU with a 1.8 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 octa-core processor. Talking about the benchmark, Realme C1 performed in this price compared to other handsets like Snapdragon 430 or MediaTek Hilio A22 with Redmi 6A. Realme C1 has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB internal storage. Only 8.67 GB will be found after pre-install apps.
The way to transfer photos, videos, audio, documents and APKs in the microSD card is given in the sub-manue of storage. After installing Facebook, Instagram and other games in the phone, we found that even if they want, they cannot be transferred to the card.
Before taking photos, videos from the camera, go to the camera setting and make changes in the path. If you download a game like PUBG in the phone, the storage of the phone will end quickly. Now talk about connectivity. The phone includes Bluetooth version 4.2, WiFi 802.11 b/g/n, dual 4G volt, compass, proximity, ambient light, accelerometer, USB-OTG and FM radio support. This handset of Reality runs on Android 8.1 Oreo -based ColorS 5.1 Six. The Realme C1 on us for the review is running on the security patch on August 2018. The custom user interface has several gestures and shortcuts. However, there is no app or setting for changes in the theme of the phone.
Realme C1’s performance, camera and battery life
A total of 2 GB RAM is given in Reality C1, out of which only 500 MB RAM left for multitasking after 1 GB system, 500 MB apps. We did not have any kind of problem while doing internet and multitasking on Google Chrome. The phone does the work correctly but it becomes a little hot during gaming. If you try to play PUBG even on low graphics settings, the phone starts slowing down.
Audio and video players are capable of running all the popular formats more. Audio quality is not very good because of being a single speaker.
For photography, it will get two rear cameras, one sensor is 13 megapixels and the other is a 2 -megapixel depth sensor. The depth sensor is used when shooting on portrait mode. Edge detection is correct, but the colors in the picture do not capture correctly. The picture taken from Reality C1 in daylight contained sufficient quantity in all things. The phone has auto-HDR but despite this, the picture does not look good. In the camera app you will get panorama, sticker and time laps mode.
The camera of Realme C1 in low light focuses at a slow pace. When sufficient amount of light is present, a 5 -megapixel selfie camera takes a good picture, but the picture taken at night had high amount of chroma noise. The phone is capable of recording video on 1080p but video sharp does not come, nor does the phone contain electronic stabilization. The battery life of Reality C1 is its strength. There is a non -removable of 4,230 mAh to revive the phone. The phone gives 20 hours and 23 minutes backup in 720p video play tests. The company has not given fast charging support in the phone, but the adapter of 10 watts makes the phone full charge in 2.30 hours to 3 hours. But the charger of 5 watts found with the phone makes the phone fully charged in about 4.30 hours.
Our decision
Realme C1 has many features at a price of Rs 6,999. It is difficult to get such performance and features in other smartphones at this price. It is to be known that this price is only till the Diwali season. It is possible to increase the price by Rs 1,000 or more. Reality C1’s battery life, powerful chipset in the phone, big display and its design is also quite good. However, 2 GB RAM limits multitasking. Overall, Realme C1 will not disappoint you at this price.
