Reviews for the Realme C21Y

81% realme C21Y review: Decent budget phone with NFC and 5000 mAh
Source: Root Nation English
The realme C21Y is a decent entry-level smartphone for those looking for a basic device. The C21Y has a pleasant design and good ergonomics, a fingerprint scanner, an NFC module, excellent battery life, quite good performance and a competitive price tag. Yes, the cameras are mediocre, the speaker’s location is not the best, and I would like a slightly better screen, but for an ultra-budget device, all these issues are forgivable. For this price, the realme C21Y is a good choice.

Realme C21Y Review, Pros and Cons
Source: OI Spice Tech News English
Although the phone’s layout appeals to you, it doesn’t have the ability to satisfy your satisfaction because there are lots of flaws. With its lower standard specs, it’s not worth your money, whereas with the C25s phone you’re getting a lot more. Whatever you spend, whether small or high, it is always advisable to buy the best. What’s more interesting is its battery and better graphics unit. So far, these are just the important specs and nothing else that could be considered better in the current market. It recommends looking for an alternative option. You can check for Redmi Note 9 5g, or better have Samsung Galaxy F12 with much more advanced and attractive features.

Comment

ARM Mali-G52 MP1: Integrated mid range graphics card with 1 clusters. ARM states that the G52 series is 30% faster and 15% more efficient compared to the G51 series on the same process node. The MC1 / MP1 variant is the smallest version.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

6.50":

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

70.5%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
