One of the things that enter through the eyes when seeing the Realme C21 for the first time, has to do with its price. This is a model because you only have to pay 109 euros, and obviously this means that there are certain limits and adjustments to enter inside the terminal. We tell you what we found this device to test it and put it to the test with the applications of common use.
As always, we begin with a summary of the components that are essential that have to do with the operation of the smartphone today, and in this review you can already begin to see some elements in which the manufacturer has put the scissors to get such a price. adjusted like the one we mentioned before. This is what you should evaluate about this phone in this section:
To make a brief summary of the hardware included in the Realme C21, it should be said that components that were common in last year’s mid-range have been chosen, with some exceptions such as having 4 GB of RAM, to try to achieve that performance is somewhat better. There is even something that we liked: the charging port is microUSB , something that is not exactly positive and that for many means looking back in time. But, as we have said, you must always keep in mind that this is a very cheap phone.
How the Realme C21 works
As we feared when executing different applications, we have detected lag times that are more common than we would have liked. It is true that we are not talking about something that is completely dramatic, since the device if you give it a short period of time ends up responding in a correct way … but rushing is not the best adviser in the case of intensive use of the phone we are talking about.
Some examples of the capacity it has are the results we have obtained when testing the Realme C21 with the synthetic tests we use:
It must be said that the operating system does what you can when it comes to offering the best of the hardware that is inside this device, but the low efficiency of the integrated processor is noticeable on some occasions where it costs even a little some System own tools functions well. Is it useful to surf the Internet and send messages? Well, the truth is that it does, since it has enough power to manage these types of applications quite correctly , although when multimedia content is put into it, it may suffer more than is desirable.
Some more details of the operation of this terminal
One of the ones that you must have is that everything that comes has to do with Internet access is similarly much more efficient than you might think at first, taking into account the power that the device has shown. Good with WiFi (without bragging that it is not Dual Band), and very well when using Bluetooth 5.0 , we also have to say that we were quite surprised by how well it positions the GPS that it integrates .
It is also possible that you ask yourself the question of whether you will be able to play with the realme C21, and the answer is quite clear: if you like undemanding developments such as those that do not show 3D graphics at any time, from time to time you will be able to use this phone (not without suffering some lag). If you want something more, you will have to look the other way and will make a much greater investment. Compliant, the truth is that this is not the most powerful phone that we have tested – it does not pretend either – and taking into account its price we could say that things have been done correctly in almost all sections.
