Chinese tech giant Realme went official with the Realme C25s for the Indian market a few days back. The smartphone has now been unveiled in Cambodia, as it begins its global journey. It had earlier been launched in Malaysia and will go on sale there for the first time on June 12.

One would ordinarily expect that the Realme C25s will feature the same specs in all regions but that is not the case. There is a slight difference in the camera setup on the version announced in India and the model rolling out in other countries. Earlier on, when it was announced in Malaysia, a 48MP main camera was listed while the India launch saw a 13MP sensor onboard. The version that would be sold in Cambodia also features a 48MP sensor. This invariably means that only the India version will get the 13MP AI camera specification.

While this may leave some fans of the brand in India disappointed, it is not new. The Realme C25 which was announced in March followed the same pattern, packing a 13MP camera in India and the variant sold in other regions features a 48MP sensor.

Apart from this variation, both the Indian model and the C25s sold elsewhere are entirely similar. The models are powered by the MediaTek Helio G85 chipset paired with 4GB of RAM. There are 64GB and 128GB storage options. The phone also packs a massive 6,000mAh battery that brings support for 18W fast charging through USB-C. Other features on board include Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, dual 4G VoLTE, a 3.5mm audio jack, and Wi-Fi 802.11ac.

Talking of the prices, the Realme C25s carries a starting price tag of $190 USD in Cambodia while in Malaysia, it will retail for MYR700 (~$170). The inferior main camera sensor on the Indian version is reflected in the price as it carries a cheaper Rs. 9,999 (~$137) price tag for the base variant.
