As expected, Realme has today launched its latest entry-level smartphone under its C-series for the Indian market, dubbed Realme C21Y. The phone was first launched in Vietnam last month.

It features a 6.5-inch HD+ display offering a screen resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels and an aspect ratio of 20:9. There’s also a water-drop notch on top of the display for housing the front-facing camera sensor.

Under the hood, the device is powered by a Unisoc T610 octa-core processor which is not something that you usually get in the Indian market. However, Unisoc has partnered with brands like Micromax, Realme, and Motorola to bring devices powered by its processors in the Indian market, so expect more Unisoc-powered phones in the market.

This processor isn’t a major upgrade compared to the MediaTek Helio G35 packed in the Realme C21 but it’s a bit more powerful. The device comes packed with up to 4GB of RAM and 64GB of internal storage. There’s also a microSD card slot that allows you to further expand the storage capacity.

In the camera department, you get a triple-camera setup on the back consisting of a 13-megapixel primary sensor, a 2-megapixel monochrome sensor, and a 2-megapixel macro lens. On the front side, there’s a 5-megapixel snapper for taking selfies and video calling.

Connectiivty-wise, it comes with the usual set of features, including 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5, GPS/AGPS/GLONASS/, and MicroUSB. There’s also a 3.5mm headphone jack. The device also has a fingerprint sensor on the back panel for added security.

The smartphone is running the Android 11 operating system with the Realme UI custom user interface on top. It is powered by a 5,000mAh battery and is claimed by the company to offer all-day usage with a single charge.

The Realme C21Y comes in two color options in the Indian market — Cross Black and Cross Blue. The 3GB RAM with 32GB storage model is priced at ₹8,999 (~$121) while the 4GB RAM with 64GB internal storage model costs ₹9,999, about $135. The phone will be available for purchase through Realme.com, Flipkart, and Offline Stores across the country starting from 30th August.
