Starting from today (30th August 2021), Realme has officially raised the prices for a dozen smartphone models in India. The price hike arrives as other brands also raise their offerings’ price tags in the region due to component shortages.

The news was first shared by known tipster Abhishek Yadav on Twitter. In the Twitter thread, he shared the new prices of a number of smartphones along with the total rise in cost as well. The list of smartphones includes multiple C series of smartphones along with the Realme 8 lineup. Taking a look at the C series pricing first:

• C11 – 2021 model with 2+32GB now costs ₹7,299 ($100), price hike of ₹300
  
• C11 – 2021 model with 4+64GB now costs ₹8,799 ($120), price hike of ₹300
• C21 – 3+32GB now costs ₹8,999 ($123), price hike of ₹500
• C21 – 4+64GB now costs ₹9,999 ($136), price hike of ₹500
• C25s – G85 4+64GB now costs ₹10,999 ($150), price hike of ₹500
• C25s – G85 4+128GB now costs ₹11999 ($164), price hike of ₹500

Arriving at the Realme 8 lineup, the 4G variant with 6+128GB is now priced at ₹16,999 ($232), marking increase of ₹1,000. This hike in price is consistent with the entire lineup as the 4G variant with 8+128GB also now costs ₹17,999 ($245). Its 5G variant with 4+64GB now goes for ₹15,499 ($211) . Similarly, the 5G variant with 4+128GB and 8+128GB models now cost ₹16,499 ($225) and ₹18,499 ($252) respectively as well.

Notably, this isn’t the first time the brand hiked the pricing in India. For those unaware, the rise of prices arrives due to a shortage of components or rise in costs of certain parts. Other brands like Redmi, Micromax, Samsung and others, have also raised the prices of their smartphone offerings due to this ongoing issue.

The post Realme hikes prices of multiple smartphone models in India appeared first on Gizmochina.

realme launched the realme C11 in India back in July 2020 after debuting it initially in Malaysia. Later, it brought the device to other regions like Europe. Now, it looks like the company will launch a 2021 version of this device as it gets Thailand’s NBTC and India’s BIS certification.

A realme Smartphone with model number RMX3231 appears on BIS and NBTC database as noted by influencer Mukul Sharma. Here, the moniker of the device is shown as the “realme C11 2021“.

The listing shows that the device supports network connectivity up to LTE. It’s not clear what will be the change but if the name is carried over from the 2020 version, at least the design could be similar.

At times, companies launch incremental versions of a smartphone by differing the internals and if that’s the case here, expect the chipset, camera, or storage to get a bump. These are just wild guesses and hence, let’s wait for official info.

realme C11- 2020 version Specs, Features

If you look at the specs of the realme C11 that launched in June, July, and August in Malaysia, India, and Europe respectively, the device features a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD display with a dewdrop notch.

Under the hood, the device features a MediaTek Helio G35 chipset paired with a single 2GB RAM 32GB storage on the 2020 version. There is a possibility that the 2021 version might get a 3GB RAM but we will have to wait for it.

For cameras, there is a dual 13MP primary sensor and a 2MP depth sensor, and a 5MP selfie shooter. Other specs include a 5,000mAh battery with support for 10W charging, 2.4GHz WiFi, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, 3.5mm headphone jack, MicroUSB port, dedicated microSD card slot.

The device debuted with Android 10 OS and realme UI on top. Let’s wait and see what realme brings new in the 2021 version.

The post Realme C11 arrives in Europe with a free gift and discounts for early buyers appeared first on Gizmochina.

Realme’s C series is Realme’s entry-level lineup and it is having a huge success in the Asian market thanks to its devices carrying a very high value for money and a very affordable price if compared with their specifications. The Chinese company launched three new devices from the C lineup in the last period: Realme C11, C12, and C15. They come with similar specifications and similar aesthetics, so it is not easy for inexperienced people to understand which one is the best for their actual needs. This comparison will highlight all the main differences between Realme C11, C12, and C15, besides telling you which is the most interesting handset from the trio.

Realme C11 vs Realme C12 vs Realme C15

Design

Realme C11, C12, and C15 are almost identical when it comes to the design. They all come with a polycarbonate body, a square-shaped camera module, and a borderless display with a waterdrop notch. It is a cool design for an entry-level, despite it is made of polycarbonate. Even though it is the most affordable, the Realme C11 looks more interesting because its color variants are slightly more original and the phone is thinner and lighter. It is a more compact device because it has a smaller battery than its costlier siblings. The bigger is the battery, the more is the space needed to house it inside the phone.

Display

With Realme C11, C12 and C15, you get essentially the same display. It is a below-average 6.5-inch panel with an HD+ resolution and a diagonal of 6.5 inches. As we said, it is a below-average display due to its resolution and overall quality, but in the actual market, you can not find better display in the entry-level segment, unless you move to the price range above €150. So these devices are cool.

Specs & Software

Realme C11, C12, and C15 all feature the same Helio G35 SoC by MediaTek. It is the most powerful entry-level chipset in the market, so it provides very nice CPU and GPU performance. It is even meant for gaming, thanks to HyperEngine technology. The only thing which changes in the hardware departments of these devices is the memory configuration. With Realme C11, you get just 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage, while with the Realme C12 you can get 3 GB of RAM which is definitely better not only for advanced users but for daily use too. The Realme C15 comes with up to 4 GB of RAM and up to 64 GB of RAM and it represents the best option for power users. In each case, you get a micro SD dedicated slot, a dual SIM slot, and Android 10 out of the box customized by Realme UI.

Camera

The camera setup changes depending on the model, but all you get with the costlier ones is a higher number of sensors. Indeed, the main camera is always a 13 MP f/2.2 sensor. With the Realme C11, you only get one additional depth sensor. With Realme C12, you get two additional sensors, including the 2 MP depth sensor found on the Realme C11 and a 2 MP monochromatic camera. With Realme C15 you get all these sensors plus an 8 MP ultrawide camera. Further, it has a better 8 MP front camera than Realme C11 and C12. If you do not care about ultrawide shots and selfies, then Realme C11 and C12 are enough for you. But if you do, you’d better go for the Realme C15.

Battery

In each case, we are talking about amazing battery phones. Thanks to their huge batteries, these devices are able to last a lot of time on a single charge. But Realme C12 and C15 are superior to the Realme C11 due to their bigger 6000 mAh battery (instead of 5000 mAh). Besides offering a bigger battery than Realme C11, the C15 also comes with 18W fast charging, which is not present on the C11 and the C12.

Price

Given that these devices are still not global, we will only mention the prices for the Indian market. Realme C11 costs about €84/$100 (Rs. 7,499) at the actual change, Realme C12 is priced €100/$120 (Rs. 8,999), and Realme C15 costs €123/$147 (Rs. 10,999). The Realme C15 is naturally the best, but with the Realme C12 you can save money with a limited number of compromises: you only have to renounce two better camera sensors, fast charging, and a higher-end memory configuration. Unless you are a really basic user, we do not recommend the Realme C11 since it has just 2 GB of RAM. Further, it has a smaller battery.

The Realme C11 was first unleashed in Malaysia at the end of June. The phone has also been released in India in July, raking in over 150K units in sales within 2 minutes of its first sales.

The specs are pretty well known but the pricing details for the European market will be revealed at the launch event. For reference, the device was sold for around €90 (Rs. 7,499) in India and Malaysia. The price in Europe will likely be slightly higher.

To recall, the Realme C11 comes in a single 2GB and 32GB variant. The phone is powered by an Helio G35 chipset and sports a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD display with HD+ resolution. It runs on Android 10-based Realme UI and gets its power from a 5000mAh battery with reverse charging support. The phone which comes in Green and Grey colours packs a dual-camera setup at the rear comprising a 13MP main sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. There is also a 5MP selfie shooter.

Selling over 150,000 units in just two minutes is no mean feat and we believe more units would have been mopped up by fans if available. But interested buyers would have to wait till July 29 or the next sale.

The phone’s price has definitely played a role in the massive interest in the model. The Realme C11 adopts a Rs 7,499 ($100) price tag for the sole 2GB and 32GB variant. The phone is powered by an Helio G35 chipset and sports a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD display with HD+ resolution. It runs on Android 10-based Realme UI and gets its power from a 5000mAh battery with reverse charging support.

The phone which comes in Green and Grey colours packs a dual-camera setup at the rear comprising a 13MP main sensor and a 2MP depth sensor. There is also a 5MP selfie shooter.

Following a launch in Malaysia, Indonesia, and more recently, India; it has been reported that Realme is making plans to bring the Realme C11 smartphone to Europe too. We believe the phone is heading to the Old Continent to take on the Redmi 9C that was announced there a few days ago.

The info about the Realme C11’s European launch is not from an official source but comes from the young leaker, Sudhanshu Ambhore (@Sudhanshu1414). He said in a tweet that the phone will be arriving in Europe soon and will be available in Mint Green and Pepper Gray color variants. It appears Realme has changed the name of the colors for Europe seeing as they go by Rich Green and Rich Gray in India.

The tweet also adds that the phone will be priced between €100 and €120. The Redmi 9C with the same RAM and storage configuration (2GB RAM + 32GB) as the Realme C11 has a price tag of €119 in Europe.

The Realme C11 and Redmi 9C are actually pretty similar devices. They have roughly the same screen size with the same waterdrop notch style, are powered by the same Helio G35 processor, have the same rear camera design, and pack the same 5000mAh battery capacity. However, the Redmi 9C has some advantages over the Realme C11 such as having three rear cameras and a fingerprint scanner.

The two separate teasers utilise a feature phone with a sketch which suggests a bigger display. We can guess this also refers to the C11 which starts at RM 429 (~$100) in Malaysia.

The C11 features a 6.5-inch IPS LCD panel with a waterdrop notch design. The display utilises the 20:9 aspect ratio display and has an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels and 88.7% screen-to-body ratio.

The model is powered by a MediaTek Helio G35 SoC with processing speeds of up to 2.3GHz paired with 2 GB of RAM. The phone has an internal storage of 32 GB and a microSD card slot for additional storage. It is preinstalled with Android 10 OS and Realme UI.

It is a very hard fight between Realme and Redmi. Every time one of the two brands launches a new value for money device, each other comes up with a perfect rival. Today we talk about entry-level handsets: on the same day, both the companies launched their most affordable phones for 2020. Realme came up with the Realme C11, while Xiaomi launched the Redmi 9A and the Redmi 9C. Which company released the best entry-level device this time? And which released the handset with the highest value for money? Let’s discover it together through a specs comparison.

Realme C11 vs Xiaomi Redmi 9A vs Xiaomi Redmi 9C

Design

It is all about tastes, but if I had to choose the best design, I would go for the Redmi 9A. The reason is simple: I do not like big and square-shaped camera modules despite the iPhone 11 series came with this solution, and Redmi 9A has the smallest camera module. But if you do not have problems with such camera modules, you might like the Realme C11 a lot more. Just note that in each case, you get a cheap polycarbonate design with no protection against water and dust.

Display

Realme C11, Redmi 9A, and Redmi 9C come with below-average IPS panels sporting a wide diagonal, a waterdrop notch, and an HD+ resolution. The differences between these displays are just marginal, so you should definitely focus on something else as you will get more or less the same display performance with this whole trio of devices.

Specs & Software

With the Redmi 9C and the Realme C11, you get exactly the same hardware department composed of the Helio G35 chipset, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of internal storage you can furtherly expand with a micro SD up to 256 GB. With the Redmi 9A you get the same memory configuration, but a lower-end Helio G25 SoC. Both the chipsets are meant for gaming, despite they are low-end processors. With Realme C11 you get Android 10 customized by Realme UI, while Redmi 9C and Redmi 9A ship with MIUI 12 based on Android 10. Note that Redmi 9C and Redmi 9A ship with an IR blaster which can be used to control TVs and other home appliances (like most of Xiaomi devices), while Realme C11 does not have one. On the other hand, Realme C11 offers the FM radio which you can use by connecting your headphones.

Camera

The most advanced camera department belongs to the Redmi 9C which offers a 13 MP main sensor with a bright f/1.8 focal aperture, a 5 MP macro camera, and a 2 MP depth sensor. You do not get such a bright aperture with the Realme C11, and it even lacks a macro camera. Redmi 9A is the most disappointing as it comes with just a 13 MP sensor on the back. With all these handsets, you get an entry-level 5 MP front camera. Redmi 9C wins the camera comparison.

Battery

You should get a very similar battery life with all of these smartphones since they feature the same battery capacity and very similar specs sheets. All come with an HD+ display and a 12 nm chipset, as well as the same memory configurations. In each case, you should get an amazing battery life (likely three days on a single charge with moderate usage), so you should not worry about the battery life at all.

Price

Redmi 9C and Realme C11 are sold in Malaysia with price tags equivalent to about €90/$101 at the actual change. Redmi 9A has a €75/$84 listing price. The most advanced device and also the winner of this comparison is the Redmi 9C with the camera department making the difference. Realme C11 is very attractive, but it comes with an inferior camera at the same price. Redmi 9A has a higher value for money, but we recommend spending those €15 more to get a device with a better camera and chipset unless you do not care about cameras at all. Do you agree with us?

The Realme C11 is an upcoming budget smartphone from Realme. The phone is going to be the first to come with the yet-to-be-announced Helio G35 processor. It is also supposed to be the first Realme phone to feature a design different from what we have seen in past models.

Realme already released a few teaser images and one of them showed the back of the phone but with the camera area covered. An image has been posted on twitter by a user that goes by @i_am_myself7 that leaves nothing to the imagination and bares it all with respect to the phone’s appearance.

The image shows the Realme C11 will have a waterdrop notch like most of the other phones in the Realme C series (old habits die hard). The bezels are slim but the one at the bottom is thicker than the rest.

The back is where the big change is. Realme has ditched its practically overused design for the new and trendy square camera housing made popular by the Pixel 4 series. The camera housing holds two cameras whose specs are unknown and an LED flash. There is no fingerprint scanner on the device which means folks will have to make do with PIN, password, or pattern to keep their phone secure.

According to the poster, the Realme C11 will pack a 6.5” Mini-drop full-screen display, a massive 5000mAh battery, and Nightscape dual cameras. It is also shown to have an audio jack at the bottom.

The Realme C11 should launch soon in Malaysia and when it does, it will be available in grey and green.

Realme to soon launch its next entry-level smartphone dubbed as Realme C11.  It will be the world’s first smartphone with MediaTek Helio G35 SoC. The handset will initially debut in Malaysia, followed by other regions.

Realme Malaysia official Facebook page has shared a teaser image with a text saying “World’s First Helio G35 – Play More Smoothly”. But the post description does not reveal the name of the device.

But the brand seems to have confirmed its name and design to Vocket and other Malaysian publications with a teaser image of the phone’s back. However, it is yet to announce the launch date.

Realme C11 first surfaced on the web with its model number RMX2185 on Indonesia’s TKDN certification portal. Soon, it cleared multiple certifications like Europe’s EEC, Malasia’s SIRIM, and Thailand’s NBTC, which also revealed its moniker.

Unfortunately, nothing else is known about this phone except for the fact that it will be an entry-level smartphone powered by yet to be announced MediaTek Helio G35 with 4G connectivity.

Going by its predecessor Realme C3, we can expect it to feature either dual or triple camera setup, HD+ display, large battery, 3.5mm headphone jack, and Realme UI based on Android 10.

Anyway, we will know more about this handset in the coming days as the brand will surely tease its specs leading up to the day of the launch.

Not Realme X50t nor Realme X3, the mysterious Realme device which has been floating around the web with the codename RMX2185 is supposed to debut as Realme C11. Today, the Realme RMX2185 smartphone has made an appearance on the NBTC certification website, literally confirming the Realme C11 moniker.

The Realme C11 first appearance on TKDN Indonesia last month revealed nothing other than the model number RMX2185. The majority of the tech watchdogs believed the device to be upcoming Realme X50t or Realme X3.  But the guess-works are finally getting a halt as the NBTC has explicitly listed Realme C11 by attaching to the model number RMX2185. Perhaps, no one would have thought of Realme C11 to come out.

Nonetheless, since C-Series from Realme is supposed to belong in the mid-budget hierarchy with moderate specs, the Realme C11 should be a budget device. Well, we know nothing about the device yet, about its specs or how it looks in the real world. Certainly, it’s expected to come with the latest Android 10 with Realme UI on the top. While we may be wrong the processor is likely to be a MediaTek Helio G-Series.

Interestingly, the RMX2185 also cleared SIRIM Malaysia today and appeared on Indonesia certifications a few days ago. These authorities didn’t reveal the Realme C11 moniker but the RMX2185 which we’re used to so far. Since the device has bagged multiple certifications worldwide, the launch can certainly happen soon than later.

The device has been mysterious all through since its first appearance on the TKDN. Its real name is out today, similarly, we could see its specifications, images and all most every bit of the device to get spoiled in the coming days. What do you guys think of the device?
