Author’s Opinion
The Realme C2 is a budget smartphone. It comes with decent specifications. The design of the smartphone is a major plus point. On top of the design, the smartphone comes with AI features. There is no fingerprint sensor. However, the presence of a fingerprint sensor would have made this smartphone an ideal choice for the price.
Talking about the competition in this price range of around 6K, the real competitors of this smartphone are Samsung Galaxy M10, Redmi 6A, Asus Zenfone Lite L1 and Asus Zenfone Max M1. So, the competition in this price range is high.
If compared with the competition, the smartphone is offering different features like Diamond-cut design, AI camera, Helio P22 SoC and 4000 mAh battery.
Overall, We recommend Realme C2 to buy in this price range. However, at the time of writing this article, our first recommendation will be Redmi 6A.
