The most important Chinese smartphone manufacturers are literally invading the market this year. In less than four months Huawei and its sub-brand Honor already announced almost 20 smartphones, that is huge. And we are talking about phones for every pocket, ranging between all the price ranges. The latest ones are entry-level devices for people with a very low budget: we are talking about the Honor 8S and Huawei Y5 2019. Another entry-level which is receiving a lot of consensuses is the Realme C2 from Oppo’s sub-brand. Given that we think these entry-level are currently among the most interesting ones, here is a specs comparison which may help you to decide which handset to choose under $150.

Huawei Honor 8S vs Huawei Y5 2019 vs Oppo Realme C2

Design

Usually, smartphone manufacturers do not put many efforts into the aesthetics of entry-level phones. But Huawei Y5 (2019) is an exception, at least in one variant. We are talking about the stunning version of the handset which comes with a faux leather body, that is very unique, elegant and premium. And it is also pretty nice protection against drops. If you do not like leather, or at least not on a phone, then you may prefer the Realme C2 with its diamond-cut body. But note that it is a cheap polycarbonate body, unlike high-end devices which come with aluminum or glass designs. Unfortunately, none of these devices has a fingerprint reader on the back, neither in the display.

Display

Low-end displays in each case, so do not expect a great viewing quality. They feature only HD resolution, so their level of detail is not extreme. It would be better if you start caring about the size here. The Oppo Realme C2 comes with a larger diagonal: 6.1 inches, so it is more comfortable to use for multimedia lovers and productivity users. On the other hand, Honor 8S and Huawei Y5 2019 come with 5.71-inch panels that fit better in one hand or in a pocket. But when it comes to daily use, they may be more frustrating while using advanced apps or browsing the web.

Specs & Software

Talking about the hardware department, the Realme C2 is one step forward compared to both the Honor 8S and Huawei Y5 2019, as it is powered by a more powerful processor. We are talking about the octa-core Helio P22 by MediaTek with a max frequency of 2 GHz, while Honor 8S and Huawei Y5 2019 come with the Helio A22 which has just 4 cores running at 2 GHz. Further, Realme C2 has up to 3 GB of RAM, while Huawei Y5 (2019) comes with just 2 GB. An advantage of the Honor 8S is that it comes with up to 64 GB of internal storage, while Realme C2 has max 32 GB. But in each case, you can furtherly expand the internal storage through a micro SD dedicated slot. These phones have a customized user interface based on Android Pie installed out of the box.

Camera

Realme C2 comes with a dual camera setup on its rear side, so it should be better at calculating depth info. However, despite the Honor 8S and the Huawei Y5 2019 have just a single camera, we believe they will click better photos in a lot of environments due to their brighter focal aperture.

Battery

The battery is the element which makes the Realme C2 really stand out compared to the competition. It has a 4000 mAh battery and it also sports very efficient components, such as the HD display. That is why it can even provide three days with moderate usage patterns, and it definitely wins the battery comparison as its opponents stop at just 3020 mAh.

Price

You can currently get the Realme C2 in India for just €77/$85, while Honor 8S costs about €120/$135 and Huawei Y5 2019’s pricing is yet to be announced. Realme C2 definitely wins the comparison thanks to its better chipset, bigger display, and a way bigger battery.
