Realme C25 Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Realme C25 is an irrelevant novelty?

Each user wants to buy an up-to-date smartphone in terms of design, technical characteristics and functionality, no matter which price segment the model belongs to. Unfortunately, even experienced developers are not always aware of this fact. So, the hero of today's review has a number of outdated features that are unlikely to be approved by the audience.

Perhaps the biggest questions will be raised by the Mediatek Helio G70 processor, combined with 4GB of RAM and the Mali G52MC2 video adapter. This is not the most productive chipset for the mid-price category; today the most resource-intensive games will run on it only with minimal graphics settings. The power efficiency of the CPU is not bad, though. The manufacturer has not forgotten about the autonomy of the device, so it is reasonable to expect about a dozen hours of active screen time from a 6000mAh battery. The optimized proprietary RealmeUI shell based on Android 11 also contributes to this result. They didn’t save on the amount of internal storage either. 64 / 128GB of ROM should be enough for most Android users, there is a microSD card slot.

The look was also not perfect. The buyer will not admire the plastic case, the archaic form factor of the 8-megapixel selfie camera, and the fingerprint scanner could be moved to the side edge. On the positive side, we note the eye-catching colors of the rear panels, a nice block of three cameras and moderate bezels of the screen. The display itself corresponds in its controversy to the previously considered parameters. On one side of the balance, excellent brightness and contrast, on the other - a low resolution of 1600x720 pixels with a 6.5-inch diagonal.

The photographic possibilities are also underwhelming. Auxiliary 2-megapixel photomodules are beautiful, but in fact useless, while the 48-megapixel sensor from Samsung is designed for daytime shooting. In such lighting conditions, the photos are detailed and natural in color, but in the evening the frames will upset with an excess of noise. The gadget cannot be praised for the lack of NFC contactless payments. As a result, we have a contradictory device, the number of pros and cons of which is almost the same.
