Chinese smartphone maker launched realme C17 first in Bangladesh in the month of September. This handset is also available in countries like Pakistan. However, it is yet to debut in India, which is the brand’s most important market. Now, more than a month after the phone’s initial announcement, a tech influencer has revealed when this device will land in India.

The Indian launch information about the realme C17 comes from one of the popular tech influencers known as Mukul Sharma. He tweeted that his handset may debut in the country in either late November or early December. 

In other words, it will land in India after the Diwali festive season if this information is true. It is worth noting that this smartphone was already spotted on realme India’s website earlier this month.

The realme C17 is unlike other recent handsets in the realme C series. Because it is powered by a Qualcomm chipset, Snapdragon 460 to be exact, and sports a 6.5-inch HD+ (720 x 1600 pixels) LCD panel with 90Hz refresh rate, 90% screen-to-body ratio, 600 nits peak brightness, and a top left-aligned punch-hole for the selfie camera.

It comes in a single 6GB LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB UFS 2.1 storage configuration, however, India may get a lower variant so that the company could price it lower to cut the competition. Anyway, like almost all budget handsets, it supports microSD cards via a triple card slot.

As for cameras, the phone comes equipped with a 13MP (wide) + 8MP (ultra-wide – 119°) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (monochrome) quad-camera setup on the back and an 8MP front-facing camera for selfies and video calls.

This year, Qualcomm launched just one entry-level chipset: the Snapdragon 460. But it is a very interesting chip and it started powering several new entry-level phones launched by mainstream smartphone manufacturers. The latest one is the Realme C17 launched a bunch of hours ago at a very affordable price. In order to establish if it is really the most interesting entry-level phone out there, we think it is worth comparing with the other devices powered by the same chipset: the Motorola Moto E7 Plus and the OPPO A53. Let’s discover together which is the best and which carries the highest value for money.

Realme C17 vs Motorola Moto E7 Plus vs OPPO A53

Design

The most beautiful device of this trio is the OPPO A53. Just like the Realme C17 (and unlike the Motorola Moto E7 Plus which comes with a waterdrop notch), it sports an elegant punch-hole display. But it is more compact than the Realme C17, despite having the same display diagonal and the same battery capacity. This is the reason why we would go for the OPPO A53. But you should consider that the Realme C17 offers some kind of protection against water because it has weather-sealed ports and loudspeakers. The Motorola Moto E7 Plus is uglier and chunkier, so it loses the design comparison.

Display

With each of these devices, do not expect a great display quality. They are all equipped with IPS displays coming with a below-average HD+ resolution. The Realme C17 and the Oppo A53 are actually superior because they offer a 90 Hz refresh rate instead of the standard refresh rate of the Motorola Moto E7 Plus. Between Realme C17 and Oppo A53, the differences in terms of display quality are just marginal, so you should not focus so much on the display while making a choice between these two devices.

Specs & Software

As we told you in the intro of this comparison, all of these handsets are powered by the Snapdragon 460 which is the latest entry-level chipset by Qualcomm and the only one from the Snapdragon 4xx series launched this year. The Motorola Moto E7 Plus loses the comparison because of its eMMC native storage and just 4 GB of RAM. With the Realme C17 and the Oppo A53, you get up to 6 GB of RAM and up to 128 GB of internal storage which you can furtherly expand with a micro SD. Realme C17 and Oppo A53 come with exactly the same hardware and very similar software, so it is essentially a draw.

Camera

If you are looking for the best photo quality, then you should go for the Motorola Moto E7 Plus. It sports the best main camera: a 48 MP sensor with a bright f/1.7 focal aperture. With the Motorola Moto E7 Plus, you can shoot better photos in most of the conditions. But it has just one secondary sensor for depth info. If you need more versatility, then you should go for the Realme C17 because it offers an ultrawide sensor (unlike Oppo A53 and Moto E7 Plus) and a dedicated macro camera, besides its depth sensor. The king of selfies is the Oppo A53 thanks to its 16 MP front camera.

Battery

All of these devices feature the same 5000 mAh battery capacity, but the Motorola Moto E7 Plus has a longer battery life because it does not feature a high refresh rate. On the other hand, it lacks fast charging, which is present on the Realme C17 and the Oppo A53.

Price

Realme C17, Oppo A53, and Motorola Moto E7 Plus are all sold with starting prices of about €150/$175 at the actual change. The Oppo A53 wins this comparison because it features a 90 Hz display, better memory configuration than Moto E7 Plus, stereo speakers, and a better selfie camera. But if you need a device closer to a camera phone, you should go for the Moto E7 Plus and its 48 MP main camera. Realme C17 is an Oppo A53 with an additional ultrawide sensor, inferior front camera, bigger dimensions, and no stereo speakers.

The back of the device also includes a fingerprint sensor.
