The Realme C20 is an entry-level smartphone launched by Realme (India) in April 2021, targeting budget-conscious buyers who prioritise battery life and essential features.
Display & Design
It sports a 6.5-inch HD+ (720 × 1600) IPS display with a 20:9 aspect ratio, giving a tall form factor suitable for basic web browsing and video streaming. The design includes a “mini-drop” notch for the front camera, and the build supports splash-resistance.
Performance & Storage
The phone is powered by a MediaTek Helio G35 octa-core chipset, paired with 2GB RAM and 32GB storage (expandable up to 256GB via microSD). While this config is modest by today’s standards, it’s adequate for light usage like calls, messaging and basic apps.
Battery & Charging
One of its key strengths is the large 5,000 mAh battery, which Realme claims can last up to 43 days in standby mode under its Super Power Saving mode. The charging is basic (Micro-USB) and likely slow (10W), so patience is needed for full recharge.
Camera
On the back is an 8 MP single shooter with an f/2.0 lens; the front camera is 5 MP, aimed at selfies and video calls. Expect average image quality—fine for social media or video chats but not for photography enthusiasts.
Price & Availability
At its launch, the Realme C20 was priced in India at around ₹6,999 for the single variant (2GB+32GB) and offered in colours like Cool Blue and Cool Grey.
Who Should Buy It?
This device is ideal for first-time smartphone users, students, or anyone seeking a reliable 4G phone with strong battery backup without spending much. It’s less suitable for heavy gaming, advanced photography, or demanding apps due to its limited RAM and basic camera.
Verdict
If your priority is long battery life and you are comfortable with modest specs, the Realme C20 delivers solid value. For users wanting 5G connectivity, higher-performance cameras or faster charging, you might want to explore higher-end models.
