Summary Realme C12
The Realme C12 weighs around 209g and is quite a large phone. It has a ‘trapezium gradient’ pattern on the rear of the phone that is attractive and doesn’t attract lots of fingerprints. Its Realme C12 is said to come with a fireproof back cover and is also splash-proof. It is also splash-resistant. Realme C12 has a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD screen having a resolution that is 1600×720 as well as an undisclosed variant that Corning’s Gorilla Glass. The colors were decent to me, however, the screen’s quality is quite average.
Realme has employed its MediaTek Helio G35 SoC in the C12 but it’s not one of the fastest processors available in this price bracket. Realme C12 is available in one configuration. Realme C12 is only available in one variant and comes featuring 3GB of memory and 32GB of space, priced at the price of Rs. 8,999. The games performed well, as it was I stayed with simple games or reduced the quality of graphics. The most important selling point is the capacity battery of 6,000mAh. The battery’s life is great However, the C12 does not support fast charging.
The C12 features a 2-megapixel monochrome camera, as well as a 2-megapixel macro camera in addition to the 13-megapixel main camera. It also has a selfie camera with a 5-megapixel resolution.
