Last week, Chinese smartphone maker Realme launched its latest budget device in the Indian market, dubbed Realme C25Y. As the name indicates, it’s an upgrade of the Realme C25 that was launched in India earlier this year in March.

Now, days after its announcement in the Indian market, the company has now started taking pre-orders for the Realme C25Y smartphone on its official website. The shipments of the device will begin from 27th September.

Coming to the pricing, the base model with 4GB RAM and 64GB internal storage is priced at ₹10,999 while the 4GB RAM and 128GB storage model costs ₹11,999. It’s noteworthy that only the 4GB + 128GB model is available for pre-booking and there’s no information available about the base variant. The phone is being offered in two different color options — Glacier Blue and Metal Grey.

In terms of specifications, the Realme C25Y features a 6.5-inch display with a screen resolution of 1600 × 720 pixels and offers a peak brightness of 420nits. There’s a waterdrop notch on top of the screen that houses an 8-megapixel selfie snapper.

The smartphone is the first one from the company’s C-series to come with a “50MP AI Triple Camera.” It packs a 50-megapixel primary sensor that supports 4x digital zoom, along with a 2-megapixel macro lens and a 2-megapixel monochrome sensor.

Internally, the device comes powered by the Unisoc T610, which is a 12nm octa-core processor and is paired with the ARM Mali-G52 GPU. It is running the Android 11 operating system out-of-the-box with a special edition of Realme UI named “Realme R Edition”. It will be getting the Android 12 update. The phone is powered by a 5,000mAh battery and comes with support for 18W fast charging.

Realme C25Y was launched in India today as a budget smartphone offering from the company starting with a price tag of ₹10,999 (~$150). The phone is the first in the entry-level C series to carry a 50MP sensor for the primary camera. It is basically an upgrade to the Realme C25 that was launched a few months ago in March. The phone competes with the Redmi 10 Prime that was released earlier this month.

The 4GB + 64GB variant of the Realme C25Y will be selling for ₹10,999. For a thousand bucks more, you also get a 4GB + 128GB storage configuration that has been priced at Rs. 11,999. Both of the models come in Glacier Blue and Metal Grey color options.

The Realme C25Y will be available for preorders starting at 12 PM on Monday, September 20. Its sale in the country will be made through Flipkart, Realme store, and retail outlets starting September 27.

Specifications

The Realme C25Y comes with something that Realme likes to call a ’50MP AI Triple Camera’ setup. The primary sensor is a 50MP primary module that supports 4x digital zoom. It is complemented by a 2MP macro lens and a 2MP B&W lens. The video recording quality of the device peaks at 1080p/30fps.

On the front, we get an 8MP selfie shooter embedded into a waterdrop notch. Underneath that is a 6.5-inch display with a resolution of 1600×720 (720p). Its typical brightness is 420nits.

The device is powered by the Unisoc T610, which is a 12nm octa-core processor. This has been paired with the ARM Mali-G52 GPU.

The Realme C25Y’s battery is fairly large at 5000mAh and you can fill it up quickly enough using an 18W charger that is supplied within the box. The phone is sized 164.5mm x 76mm x 9.1mm and weighs 200g.

It will boot into Android 11 out of the box but will obviously be getting Android 12 in the future. Android 11 is layered atop with a special edition of Realme UI known as ‘Realme R Edition’ that has been coming with C series phones of late.

Last month, realme launched a smartphone called realme C21Y in India. This device is a new variant of the already available realme C21 with a different chipset. Now, according to the latest information, the realme C25 will be also getting a new version in the form of realme C25Y later this month in India.

According to a report by 91Mobiles, the world’s fastest-growing smartphone brand will be releasing yet another handset after the recent launch of realme 8i and realme 8s in India this month. As per the publication’s industry sources, this phone will be called realme C25Y.

Unfortunately, the report does not say anything about this upcoming device’s specs. But since it has a similar name to the realme C21Y, we believe it will be identical to the realme C25, except for the chipset. Also, it will be the second variant of realme C25 after the realme C25s.

Hence, we can expect the realme C25Y to arrive with features like 6.5-inch HD+ display (LCD), 13MP (wide) + 2MP (monochrome) + 2MP (macro) triple camera setup, 8MP selfie camera, realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11, 3.5mm headphone jack, MicroSD card slot, USB Type-C port, rear-mounted fingerprint sensor, 6,000mAh battery, and 18W fast charging.

Having said that, since the exact launch date for realme C25Y is a mystery, it could go official any day by the end of September.
