June 25:  Chinese handset brand Realme has launched Realme C3 in the Nepali market. Issuing a press statement, the company claimed the new ‘Triple Camera, Game Monster’ smartphone as the ‘most powerful’ entry-level smartphone available in the market currently under Rs 18,000 price range. “Realme C3 is an addition to realme’s entry level all-rounder C series smartphones, which has 10.2 million users across the globe and has successfully disrupted entry-level segment of smartphones,” reads the statement.

According to the company, realme C3 excels in four key areas of performance, battery capacity, display and camera. “C3 features the MediaTek Helio G70 processor which will ensure powerful and speedy performance for both mainstream users and gamers, alike,” claimed the company. Realme C3, which has been launched in two colours options of Blazing Red and Frozen Blue and sports a 5000mAh battery, is available with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage variant and carries a price tag of Rs 16,990. The company informed that Realme C3 will be available in offline outlets across Nepal.

Triple AI Camera

Realme C3 features 12MP+2MP+2MP triple rear camera setup. The rear main camera features a F1.8 large aperture and a large 1.25μm pixel size. It can zoom up to 4X and supports PDAF autofocus. “This makes the pictures clear in daylight and bright in low light & dark environments as well. The 4CM super macro lens will give more details when users shoot tiny objects. Users can create more with the subtle. The triple rear camera also supports hardware level bokeh, which is more natural and makes the subject more prominent, whether it’s plants, animals or people,” said the company.

Its other camera features include Chroma Boost, portrait mode and slow-motion video recording, which, according to the company, is difficult to find in this price segment. The Chroma Boost feature, through the pixel-level mapping algorithm, restores the brightness and colour, giving better dynamic range, screen contrast and vivid colours.                                                                                                       

Apart from this, the camera supports an automatic HDR mode. When turned on, one can keep the highlights and dark details in the picture to get accurate images with abundant details and more colours. The camera also supports 1080p video shooting and slow-motion videos at 120 fps.

On the front, it has a 5MP Selfie camera. The selfie camera supports AI beautification function, HDR mode, portrait mode and a ‘Pano-selfie’ feature that can take wider selfies.

Design and Display

According to the statement, Realme C3 comes with the biggest display in this segment with a 6.5" HD+ mini drop display which is 30.9 percent smaller than the normal dewdrop, making the screen to body ratio as high as 89.8 percent. “This big screen will enhance the viewing experience while watching movies, playing games or scrolling through social media,” reads the statement.

According to the company, the design inspiration of the exciting new colors Blazing Red and Frozen Blue of Realme C3 has come from hot lava and cold glacier. “The exquisite optical texture implemented on the plastic mold has been done by combining polishing, radium carving and sandblasting technology,” informed the company.  

CPU and GPU

Realme said that C3 comes with MediaTek Helio G70 processor which is the best in this segment and has a MediaTek Gaming Technology to optimize network latency. “It is an eight-core 12nm processor that clocks up to 2.0 GHz, making it one of the fastest and latest in its category. The Realme C3 is ideal for mainstream smartphone users and elite mobile gamers with an efficient, high performance ARM Mali-G52 GPU,” said the company.
