realme C25Y

The realme C25Y is a very affordable smartphone with a 50MP camera and 5000mAh battery for one day of use. Moreover, that battery is quick to recharge when drained. Other advantages the C25Y offers can be found here.

50MP for less

This realme C25Y looks a bit like the C21Y, but the differences couldn't be more significant. And that while the prices are not even that far apart. This C25Y offers (even) more value for money. You get a real 50MP camera in return. This is on the back, accompanied by a 2MP black and white camera for portraits and depth perception and a 2MP camera with a macro lens for close-ups at very close range. But the real star is undoubtedly the primary camera which, with a high 50-megapixel resolution, takes sharp shots for remarkably little money. After all, the C25Y doesn't cost much.

Large battery with fast charging

Another significant advantage of this C25Y is its 5000mAh battery. Now that in itself is nothing special, many other phones have such a large battery, but that of the C25Y is quick to charge. The corresponding 18W fast charger is even already included in the box. Unfortunately, this is an old-fashioned micro USB charger that only fits into the device one way versus the more convenient USB-C, whose top and bottom are the same.

UI R Edition

Realme provides the C25Y with Android with the realme R Edition software. Its apps are optimized to work smoothly with the built-in Unisoc T610 processor. This is a relatively simple chipset, something to be expected from a budget phone. Still, the realme UI R Edition has enough features to make the C25Y a full-fledged smartphone for everyday use.
