Since October, Realme has rolled out the Android 12-based Realme UI 3.0 Early Access update for multiple eligible smartphones. However, only one of them has received the stable release so far. Joining this long list of phones running the beta version of the latest realme software is the affordable Realme C25.

According to an official announcement post on Realme Community, the brand had started recruiting testers for Realme C25’s Realme UI 3.0 Early Access program on February 15.

Interested users of the handset can enroll in the initiative to try Android 12. In order to register, all they have to do is navigate to Settings > Software Update > Gear Icon >  Trial Version > Apply Now and submit details.

Any user with the unit running on firmware version RMX3193_11.A.25 or RMX3193_11.A.26 is eligible to participate. Selected applicants will receive the update via OTA. Participants who don’t get selected can try their luck in the next batch of registrations whenever that happens.

As far as stable release is concerned, unlike Oppo, Realme is not known for providing a timeline. Hence, we cannot say for sure when the Realme C25 will be updated to Realme UI 3.0 stable update based on Android 12.

That said, this will be the device’s first and last major software update. Because Realme is known for providing a single Android update for Realme C series smartphones.

A few days ago, Xiaomi launched the POCO M2 Reloaded: the most affordable smartphone packing a Full HD+ display. But is the display enough to consider it the best deal in the entry-level segment? We think there is no better way to understand it than comparing its specifications to the devices from the concurrency. If we consider the Indian market, among the very best devices sold in the same price segment, there are Motorola Moto G10 Power and Realme C25. This is a comparison between POCO M2 Reloaded, Motorola Moto G10 Power, and Realme C25 that will hopefully let you understand which device has the highest value for money.

Xiaomi POCO M2 Reloaded vs Motorola Moto G10 Power vs Realme C25

Design

POCO M2 Reloaded, Motorola Moto G10 Power, and Realme C25 are not brilliant devices if we consider the design. They are made of polycarbonate and they have a waterdrop notch instead of a modern punch hole like higher-end phones. POCO M2 Reloaded and Motorola Moto G10 Power are slightly more interesting because they are water repellent. Further, the POCO M2 Reloaded is thinner and lighter than its rivals because it has a smaller battery.

Display

The POCO M2 Reloaded wins the display comparison simply because it comes with a higher resolution. As mentioned in the intro of this comparison, the POCO M2 Reloaded offers a Full HD+ resolution in a price range where you can only find HD+ displays. That is amazing because it provides a higher level of detail. Motorola Moto G10 Power and Realme C25 have below-average IPS panels with 720p resolutions.

Hardware/Software

It is a hard fight between the Snapdragon 460 found on the Motorola Moto G10 Power and the MediaTek Helio G80 found on the POCO M2 Reloaded. The former has a better 11 nm production process, but the latter has higher performance, that is why POCO M2 Reloaded wins the hardware comparison. On the other hand, Motorola Moto G10 Power runs Android 11 out of the box (just like the Realme C25), while POCO M2 Reloaded is still based on Android 10. This means that the Motorola handset might get updated to a newer Android version at the end of its software support period. Realme C25 runs Android 11, but it has an Helio G70 chipset which is inferior to the Helio G80 found on the Moto G10 Power.

Camera

The Motorola Moto G10 Power has a definitely better camera on the rear side. We are talking about a 48 MP sensor with a bright f/1.7 focal aperture, paired with an 8 MP ultrawide sensor and a pair of 2 MP sensors for macros and depth calculation. POCO M2 Reloaded and Realme C25 offer lower-end 13 MP main cameras and the Realme C25 lacks the ultrawide sensor too.

Battery

Motorola Moto G10 Power and Realme C25 have a bigger 6000 mAh battery which allows an outstanding battery life. Both come with fast charging and the Realme C25 even supports reverse charging through a cable.

Xiaomi POCO M2 Reloaded vs Motorola Moto G10 Power vs Realme C25: Price

POCO M2 Reloaded starts from about €100/$120 in India, Motorola Moto G10 Power has a €120/$145 starting price, and Realme C25 costs €140/$170 in its base variant. At the end of the day, the Motorola Moto G10 Power is a more complete phone thanks to its huge battery, great cameras, and powerful chipset. But the POCO M2 Reloaded offers a better display. Realme C25 looks like a toned-down version of the Moto G10 Power due to its weaker chipset and slower charging, but its user interface is more interesting.

The post POCO M2 Reloaded vs Moto G10 Power vs Realme C25: Specs Comparison appeared first on Gizmochina.

Realme recently renewed its entry-level C series with three new models: Realme C20, Realme C21, and Realme C25. The new handsets target the low-end segment with very affordable prices, but they belong to different price segments. A lot of people are wondering which one to go for in order to get the highest value for money and which one is the best for their needs, especially if we think about the slight price differences. This comparison will give you the answer by highlighting the differences between Realme C20, C21, and C25.

Realme C20 vs Realme C21 vs Realme C25

Design

The Realme C20 and the C25 have very similar designs. They are made of polycarbonate and they come with the same pattern for the rear cover. The Realme C21 differs because of its diamond-like back cover. In each case, you get a borderless display with a waterdrop notch and a rear-mounted fingerprint reader, as well as a square-shaped camera module on the back. While the Realme C20 and C21 have exactly the same thickness and weight, the Realme C25 is thicker and heavier because it features a bigger battery.

Display

The displays of these devices are all the same with no differences. They pack a 6.5-inch panel with an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels, a 480 nits typical brightness, and the IPS LCD technology. They are below-average displays that provide a sufficient image quality for average users, but you can get way better displays if you spend a bit more.

Hardware/Software

If you need the most advanced hardware, you must go for the Realme C25 without thinking twice. It is powered by a stronger Helio G70 chipset paired with 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of internal storage in the most expensive configuration. The Realme C21 has a weaker Helio G35 chipset, just like the Realme C20. These two handsets different for their memory configurations: the Realme C20 has just 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of native storage, which is insufficient hardware for a lot of usage scenarios, while Realme C21 has up to 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. Realme C25 is the only one with Android 11 out of the box, while Realme C20 and C21 are still based on Android 10.

Camera

Are you looking for the best cameras? If so, you should go for the international version of the Realme C25 packing a rear triple camera with a 48 MP main sensor. The Indian variant has the same triple camera as the Realme C21 including a 13 MP main sensor and a pair of 2 MP lenses, but it has a better 8 MP front camera. The Realme C20 is the most disappointing one with an 8 MP single rear camera.

Battery

The Realme C25 packs the biggest battery with a huge capacity of 6000 mAh and it even features 18W fast charging. You do not get fast charging with the Realme C20 and the C21, and their battery is also smaller with 5000 mAh. But the C21 supports reverse charging just like the C25.

• Read More: Redmi Note 10 vs Note 10 Pro vs Note 10 Pro Max: Specs Comparison

Realme C20 vs Realme C21 vs Realme C25: PRO and CONS

The Realme C20 starts from Rs. 6,999, Realme C21 is actually priced at Rs. 7,999 in its base variant and Realme C25 has a starting price tag of Rs. 9,999. The Realme C25 is the most interesting device thanks to its bigger battery, Android 11 out of the box, and better chipset. But you can get the same cameras (in India) with the C21, as well as the same display if you renounce to the Helio G70 and that huge 6000 mAh battery. Realme C20 has the same processor as the C21 and the same display/battery, but having just 2 GB of RAM and that low-end camera is not for everyone.

Realme C20

PROS

• More affordable
• Same chipset as the C21
• Same display as C21 and C25

CONS

• Just 2 GB RAM

Realme C21

PROS

The entry-level segment offers a lot of choices in 2021. If you are an average user and you do not need very high performance, you can get a pretty decent user experience even with low-end handsets. Among the most performing devices in the lowest price range there are Realme C25 and Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime. Two all-rounders with very good spec sheets offered at very affordable prices. But which one is the best and suits your needs the most? If you have this question, you should find the answer after reading this specs comparison between two of the best entry-level phones in the smartphone market.

Realme C25 vs Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime

Design

The Realme C25 and the Redmi 9 Prime do not come with a premium design, just like all the other entry-level phones. They have a body made of polycarbonate, but the Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime has a water-repellent coating which is very nice if you want to use the phone in the rain. Both the phones come with a waterdrop notch instead of those modern punch-hole displays, and both offer a rear-mounted fingerprint reader for authentication. The Redmi 9 Prime is slightly more comfortable for one-handed use and to keep in a pocket: it is thinner and lighter thanks to its smaller battery.

Display

The Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime has a superior display for one single reason: the Full HD+ resolution. With a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, it offers a higher level of definition, the same as most of the midrange phones out there. The Realme C25, instead, comes with a below-average HD+ resolution (720p). Both are IPS panels with similar levels of brightness: the Realme C25 has slightly higher brightness, but the resolution is definitely a more important thing, so the Redmi 9 Prime wins the display comparison.

Specs & Software

If you need the most advanced hardware setup, you should choose the Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime. It has a more powerful Helio G80, while the Realme C25 is powered by the Helio G70 chipset. However, the difference in performance is just marginal: the Helio G70 is not a disappointing chipset compared to the G80. The memory configurations are the same: 4 GB of RAM and 64 or 128 GB of native storage depending on the chosen variant. The Redmi 9 Prime runs Android 10 out of the box, while the Realme C25 comes with Android 11. So, you will most likely get longer software support and a more advanced software department with the Realme C25.

Camera

The camera setup of the Realme C25 changes depending on the market. In the international market, the handset comes with a triple camera including a 48 MP main sensor which is definitely better than the 13 MP quad camera found on the Redmi 9 Prime. But the Indian version of the phone has an inferior 13 MP triple camera. If we consider the Indian version, then Redmi 9 Prime is a better camera phone because it adds an 8 MP ultrawide sensor. But if we talk about the international version, Realme C25 is better thanks to its great 48 MP main camera.

Battery

The Realme C25 has a bigger battery: with a capacity of 6000 mAh, it is able to provide stunning battery life and it even supports wireless charging. The Redmi 9 Prime lacks wireless charging support and comes with a battery capacity of 5020 mAh. Further, the higher resolution of the display makes the energy consumption higher. The Realme C25 is one of the best battery phones of the year, but Redmi 9 Prime is still great when it comes to battery life.

Price

The starting price of the Realme C25 is about €140/$168, while the Xiaomi Redmi 9 Prime starts from €106/$127 in the Indian market. If we exclude the display resolution, overall, the Realme C25 is a more convincing handset. But if you care about the resolution, you’d better go for the Redmi 9 Prime which also offers a slightly better chipset, while packing a smaller but still good battery.

The device is likely to debut in India under the  ₹40,000($547) price tag. The iQOO 7, which has already launched in China, features a 6.62-inch AMOLED FHD+ 120Hz display, Snapdragon 888 with up to 12GB LPDDR5 RAM, UFS 3.1 storage.

Other features of the iQOO 7 include a 48MP triple-cameras, 16MP selfie shooter, Monster touch, L-shaped VC plate for cooling, 4,000mAh battery, and Android 11 OS.

Other expected launches

• realme 8 5G, realme 8i

  • realme has already confirmed that it will launch a 5G version of the realme 8 and a budget-friendly realme 8i in India. Out of this, the realme 8 5G has already stopped at FCC certification.
  • However, this launch might skipped to next month as well so take this with a pinch of salt.

• Vivo V21 series

  • Vivo V21 series was rumored to come before in India but that hasn’t happened yet. The company had other ideas and brought a flagship X60 series to the country. However, it could soon launch one of the supposed members of the V21 series- Vivo V21 SE.
  • Reports reveal that it could be a rebadged version of the iQOO U3 which means it could come with a Dimensity 800U chipset with 5G support. Let’s hope that Vivo doesn’t skip any further.

• Oppo A74 4G & 5G, A94 & A54 5G

  • OPPO is said to bring the remaining devices of the OPPO Axx series and it might happen this month. The company has already unveiled the OPPO A54 4G version already. Next in line could be the OPPO A74, A54, and A94 5G models.
  • The OPPO A74 4G is said to come in certain markets as rebranded OPPO F19 while the 5G version could have Snapdragon 480 chipset.
  • On the other hand, the OPPO A94 5G could be the OPPO F19 Pro+ 5G for Europe whereas OPPO A54 5G is said to be a rebadged version of OPPO A93 5G.

• Huawei P50 series

  • When it comes to Huawei, things haven’t been so smooth lately. The company is struggling a lot to gather the supply chain after the US ban and it is hitting them hard. Previously rumored to come this month, the launch of the Huawei P50 series looks to be a far cry for now.
  • However, anything can happen in between so let’s hope that Huawei turns tables to come back stronger.

These are the confirmed/expected smartphone launches for the month of April. We hope you enjoyed reading it and as always please share your feedback in the comments below. It really helps us improve our future articles.
