Realme's new C25Y puts 50-megapixel triple cameras into a Rs 10,999 phone

Realme C25Y comes with a 50-megapixel camera along with two more cameras for a price of under Rs 12,000.

Realme has launched its new budget smartphone called the C25Y in India. This smartphone comes in the C-series, which is famous for bigger batteries and displays at affordable prices, as a toned-down version of the C25. The most interesting thing about the C25Y is that it is the first C-series -- and probably the first low-end -- phone to come with a 50-megapixel camera. Realme recently started using 50-megapixel cameras on its phones, replacing the 48-megapixel sensors that we have been seeing on phones across prices.

With the Realme C25Y, the company is targeting Xiaomi, which launched the Redmi 10 Prime in India recently. The C25Y measures up against the Redmi 10 Prime in terms of the camera only. The rest of the things, such as the display, are better on the Redmi 10 Prime, at least on paper. But that is also with a slight difference in prices. The Realme C25Y is a bit cheaper than the Redmi 10 Prime, so somewhere that trade-off seems justified. Let us talk about the Realme C25Y’s price and specifications now.
