Realme C21Y low-cost phone launched and it runs old Android 10 OS

Realme's new C-series phone brings a 5000mAh battery and a 13-megapixel camera.

Realme has launched its low-cost smartphone called the C21Y. The phone is a part of the C-series, which is the company's line-up for entry-level phones with big batteries. The Realme C21Y had leaked previously with key specifications and features, and one of them suggested there would be Android Go on this phone. But what Realme has done with C21Y is rather strange. The Realme C21Y runs two-year-old Android 10 software, which makes no sense. This also means that the company may not roll out Realme UI 2.0, which is based on Android 11, to this phone. The launch of the Realme C21Y was rather silent and it is in Vietnam right now. The company has not said anything about launching the C21Y in other markets. However, if Realme does think about bringing this phone to India, it may find many takers. Realme’s phones are famous for their low prices, and the C21Y comes exactly on the lines of that. To keep the cost low, Realme has, for the first time, gone with a Unisoc processor. Unisoc processors are very common in entry-level phones by brands such as Nokia.
