Realme C1 - User Reviews

  • from where

  • Not option showing phone information 2 i have some difficult to change lte only please update software and give phone information 2 for second sim lte only

  • buy universal infrared 3.5 jack only $1 or idr 15.000 haha

  • They give an option of choosing a four digit PIN code to set when you start up your phone.

  • Have C1 realme in such of bug error 6 digit PIN not take 4 digit minimum

  • It doesn't have Infrared Port, therefore we cannot install universal remotes. :(

  • Yes it has

  • In realme c1 phone information 2 not showing only show phone information 1 so i cant use only LTE in second sim slot please solve this problem if it possible through software update

  • Does it have face unlock?

  • Same thing happened with my phone. I went to it's office to check for my phone. They said that the current Facebook app is not compatible for the Realme C1. So they install the old version of Facebook so that i can use my phone without sudden shut down. But you can also update your apps except Facebook

  • Easily Redmi Note 4. I'm really happy that phone is made available in this price. It has good camera, most powerful chipset available in this price, big battery, FHD display and Infrared Port as well. I'm currently trying to find a better phone than Note 4 in this price range for hours and I've found 2 or 3 good ones but non of them beat Note 4 - since they're similar but either offer lower battery, camera or performance and non of them offer infrared port.

  • Good for standard using.

  • Don't by Realme C1. Disadvantages +1)very less nternal memory 2) only 5 MP selfie camera 3) No fingerprint scanner. If don't have budget of Note 4 then Buy Micromax canvas Infinity . It has 3GB 32GB 16MP selfie camera. I am using it since last one year without any problem.It has metal finish and sound is crstal clear. Price is only 5999/- on Flipkart

  • Although they declare 16GB of storage, i did get 8.7 of pre-installed apps/ColorOS. The remaining internal storage of this phone is very limited. I got only games/apps installed and the storage is full. I cant even transfer my application from internal storage to sd card.

  • realme c1

  • The internal storage of this phone is very small. I got only few apps and the storage is full. I cant transfer my application from internal storage to sd card.

  • Note 4 sure

  • I want to buy a new phone but iam confuses .plz could u tell me which phone is better realme C1 or Xiomi redmi note 4

  • I bought this 2 month ago.Today morning i was charging the device but suddenly it shutdown automatically.Its no starting.I will never buy realme phone again.

  • my realme c1 have only 8GB to be use and the other 8GB cant be use what should I do?

  • you need to force restart your phone. just press together the up volume button and the power button

  • i forgot my passcode or password how can i open my phone

  • My realme C1 was shut off automatically and I cannot open it anymore. Help please

  • Realme C1 is a great mobile phone. Aside from the specs. With modern notch screen, camera and others. The only thing i don't like is that cannot transfer files from internal to external. But the total performance of this phone is very good. I bought this last month in affordable price.

  • transfer files to sd acrd

  • the problem im having with this phone is that there's no option to transfer the apps/files right away. it still needs to be rooted or install certain app to do it, so frustrating. do you guys know another way to transfer it? notice me please

  • The item itself is super good and just to its price. However, it lacks in freebies like earphone, tempered glass, etc.. What it only includes is just a charger....

  • Nice phone with modern notch - Value for Money is excellent Disappointed :- 1- No Fingerprint scanner 2- Low storage (only 16 GB) but fixed by adding a SD card

  • bought this today under installment..super nice..nice OS..smooth GUI compared to other in this price range..process fast bcoz of octacore..budget friendly

  • Excellent mobile truelyy classic..

  • Actually I wanna say this is a good phone because I have no problem with performances but its LCD is a nightmare. It bleeds on the downside, gives a quite noticeable yellowish color that bothers a lot. I took it to service centre but they said they couldn't do anything about it and the phone was good just the way it is like wtf, I'm having trust issues with Realme right now. Disappointed.

  • It doesn't support quick charging and takes about 5 hours from empty to full because the original charger has 1A output. Using 2A adapter is not recommended too, it ruins the battery.

  • yeah its look like oppo a3s

  • i would say good....it could be better after installing google camera...but will have to wait

  • how about the camera

  • watching videos in this phone is an awesome experience in spite of low resolution....you can turn off notch and use mx player....Realme uses "real sound technology '' for videos and music... sound via loudspeaker is average and can hear the calls properly.. as for durability it seems strong enough but phones with less bezels are not that strong as phone with bezels on top and below...

  • How about the video and sound? any problems? Is this phone durable after using it for months?

  • agree with you...i also sold my redmi 6A and bought a Realme C1......great battery life and i charge once in 2 days...also like 'color os' and there is no 'ads' like miui...

  • Redmi 6 only has 3000mah compared to the Realme C1 which has 4230mah. So the redmi 6 should charge faster. I sold my Redmi 6 and bought the C1 since it has a bigger battery, better design (notch design) screen resolution is better as well. Mostly a lot to like on the Realme C1 than to hate.

  • It has a huge battery of 4230mAh that's why it will take time to charge.

  • no

  • is it quick charging?my redmi 6 feels like forever to fully charge i want to sell it and buy a quick charging phone i should have bought redmi 5

  • Good stuff looking forward to seeing how they get on

  • Yes they are now independent and are in the process of developing an alternative to color os called 'realme os'

  • Also I believe Oppo are no longer involved and this company is now completely independent.

  • Best phone I have had and I have had all sorts of phones I replaced a S8 to this and its great

  • correct.....realme C1 is definitely better than redmi 6a .....and realme is even providing security updates regularly unlike Oppo...i am running January 2019 security patch

  • Bro at this price, you can't really fault it, the redmi 6a also does not have a fingerprint scanner. The redmi 6 has. If you get this against the redmi 6a this definitely will be a better buy. That battery alone kills it.

  • I bought this phone, after 8 days being used suddenly screen corrupt and must change it

  • No Fingerprint scanner at 8000/-. Surely not worthy

  • new software update available and nothing big. .Camera New camera watermark. UI New Material Design icons. Security Android Security Patch Level: January 5, 2019.

  • yes it can. graphic at medium-balanced settings.

  • it can play PUBG mobile from playstore. graphic at balanced medium settings.

  • Please give us option of hide navigation key fully when using ball

  • Good phone but back button sometimes press exit from app like YouTube...

  • Protection Corning Gorilla Glass 3

  • then please recommend a better phone at Rs 7500

  • No mirror selfie

  • Guys don't waste your money. After using for 2 months I am disappointed because phone does not perform satisfactory. only battery is good but it takes hours to charge fully. Also dimensions of phone are inconvenient to handle it with two hands. It looks like a calculator in hand.

  • For 100 buck phone....this phone is amazing

  • Please don't buy at this price beacuse. Although specs are good but many Apps Hang because of 2 GB RAM. Camera are not Good in low light. Also internal storage is less. Only display is plus point. It heats up during video call and during charging. Not Good at this price

  • yes ...i also bought this device after selling off redmi 6a..after updating to color os 5.2 i can swipe away notifications...only fm recording seems missing.. my comparison miui vs color os file manager miui- very good color- very good video player miui- very good with subtitles( no need for MX player) color- pretty basic( i had to download MX player) music player miui- very good with lots of earphone options color- very good with a good equalizer security miui- good color- very good because it has many options like 4 digit password, 6 digit password etc gestures- miui- good but cannot add new gestures color- very good u can create new gestures themes miui -very good color- no theme app ..has to download the app from oppo phones animations miui- good but some times lags color- great animations ads, bloatwares miui- 'ads' are every where and u can turn them off...lots of mi apps color- no 'ads' at all and most important no bloatware at all camera- miui- good color- average overall color os is welcome change for me after 3 years of miui usage

  • i would say good..but dont expect any wonders

  • 'settings' 'face & passcode' 'lockscreen password' 'turn on passcode' 'other encryption methods' ' select pattern method' done!

  • Please tell me how to lock screen with pattern.

  • is it front camera good

  • I bought this phone and this is amazing, the king of entry level phone, run very well and no lag at all, thank you :)

  • Just click portrait lock on top menu bro

  • i have got this phone now.....had been with miui for three years..finally got sick of their 'ads' in ui...my previous phone was redmi 6a my comparison redmi 6a- Rs 6500(pros-cheaper, more pocket friendly, lots of custom miui roms etc, cons- 'ads' in system ui, gallery, file manager, downloads music player, video player etc, bootloader unlocking required for custom roms, mediatek cpu) realme c1-Rs 7500 ( pros- with a bigger screen, bigger battery, dual camera, no 'ads' in ui cons-ppi is little low)

  • its slightly better but not much of a difference though

  • How s the battery performance after updating color os 5.2?

  • best phone

  • Charging Time of this phone will take 0 to 100% till judgement Day

  • it's a very good phone in low budget

  • He IAM buy this phone it's amazing

  • I've been using it for a week now. For now it just run smoothly. Pubg can play smooth on low setting. Gonna need gfx tool for better gameplay. 😁All apps run very well. Face unlock also fast... Not so much heat increase even gaming. Camera and display just okay for the price.Massive 4230 mAh battery also could last for a whole day. Good job for an entry-level phone.

  • Hello guys. i bought it one month ago. Super performance. nice battery backup. But Some times call drop occurs. This realme c1 can able run PUBG smoothly without any lag in low settings. Iam playing PUBG daily 2 hours. no problem.

  • hello i am ajay from pune i want to know its camera quality good or bad

  • But Yu Ace processor is medatek

  • Plz. Tell me how to off rotation c1

  • Is jio calls works on this phone without internet

  • What exactly the unit u have?

  • Hello can this phone run PUBG?

  • Yes. I already have it, so my opinion if you are a gamer so this phone is not for you. And if you use lite like social networking sites, browsing & lite gaming etc. then its probably give you best. Now i shared some informations about this phone:- GOOD~ 1. Apps unlock fast 2. Battery life Excellent 3. Face recognise quick 4. Bright Display 5. Value for money BAD~ 1. Medium camera 2. Old processor 3. Laminated black scarf easily

  • Is this the best budget phone under 8k???

  • It's best in battery and features

  • is this good??

  • if u r looking for this phone, then u r not so great!!

  • Oh, okay. You see, I'm not from Philippines so I've never heard of this phone before.

  • Available in Philippines at Lazada for Php 5,495 or $100.

  • Which countries is this phone released in? I don't seem to find it where I am from.

  • lmao your nickname 😂😂😂

  • I don't know about the price comparison. Yu Ace uses MTK, while C1 use Snapdragon. Display of C1 is bigger. And now in the trend is the notch display.

  • I have bought this phone in Indonesia. The battery is superb. The display is very good - well... it is full display notch , what can u say. Mine is blue one. So with plastic jelly case and put blue wallpaper, the result is fantastic. It is like borderless because the black grip. For the camera, bokeh is good. Though you can not expect great camera due to f/2.2.

  • either way they are same and same specs

  • I think this phone is just only eye candy and for a social climber kid or gangster the go to places like SUPER MARKET :) Lol xD

  • what do you expect on a cheap phone :)

  • A3S or C1 ???????????? price and specs ???

  • snapdragon 450? really?

  • this has corning gorilla for the scren i think its durable

  • i wonder if it is durable? :D im a clumsy person.

  • My Yu Ace is better than this phone 3GB RAM 32 phone and 4000mAh removable battery that too with less price .

  • Yes.Can,low graphic

  • Just 2 gb ram,i can't play pubg mobile

  • all of them are pretty good at the price just one thing doesn't have it its a quick / fast charging feature, why..

  • no

  • this is cheap version of A3s.

  • Is this has hybrid sim?

  • Realme C1

  • Redmi 6a or Realme C1?

  • Many basic operations missing.. 1.No lockscreen customization and disable settings 2.Message app doesn't have any settings and no delivery report options 3.We can enable developer options but can't use it.. 4.We can't use numbers that ending with # in favorite contact list for one touch dialing it won't work..eg. Ussd codes like *121# 5.There is no setting for changing into dark theme 6.Notifications will be shown only in notification bar we can see it by pulling down the notification bar..no icons will be shown in status bar..eg.if a Whatsapp message is received we can see it only by pulling down the notification bar.there will be no Whatsapp icon that show up in top status bar near network bars to represent a message have been received. 7.Storage fills up quick as only 6gb out of 16gb is available for users most of the space taken by Android Os 8.No Wallpaper and lockscreen quick setting option in homescreen 9.No Restart option is there when we click power button to restart the phone. 10.Overall this is a phone that needs some serious tweaks in color Os.

  • Still no official confirmation as to when the phone will be available in Bangladesh. Malaysia launched is already done and in full swing.

  • My opinion:- 1) colour OS is not for power users. Very laggy. 2) internal memory is just 16 GB. Issue here is, user memory is just 7.5 GB around after uninstalling all default uninstallable apps. 3) Can't uninstall Touchpal which is a default keyboard app and it is not even show any where. 4) Looks good. 5) Dual volte. 6) nice camera compared to most of the redmi phones. 7) user experience is very bad. 8) No useful default apps being a customized OS. 9) Runs on colour OS 5.1. 10) under the hood is snapdragon 450, 2GB RAM which is no where sufficient for colour OS. 11) Face unlock will work only in daylight, which is some what ok as per the price. No finger print reader. 12) Good for looks.

  • at least you can still buy it online

  • Download slow is not affected by processors, it's affected by the type of memory

  • realme C1 is unfortunately still not available every where..so not popular as 6A

  • No it's not a real competitor because it is available only in india poor realme

  • Snapdragon 450 is a powerful entry level chipset (14NM) chipset. Its very smooth. But internal memory is very low.

  • Lol

  • Not good mobile. The downloading speed is very slow, means processor not good. Video clarity is bad. Only camera quality is good

  • When will Bangladesh launch?

  • Ha ha ha..

  • Dont worry bro, buy the iPhone 5s or Samsung J1.

  • redmi 6a is 1000 Rs cheaper....Realme C1 looks similar to iphone x in design...

  • can we use Jio sims??

  • Yes I can agree on that. It has a better processor, camera and looks. Redmi is just a rip off of Apple.

  • Ram 2 gb and 8-9 of 16 gb available for user

  • it has Corning gorilla glass

  • Otg support up to 1 tb ?

  • yes

  • poor xiaomi finally got a powerful competitor.It would sweep xiaomi and other grass brands it it came with android one.nevertheless still real me c1 is the best in this range.

  • 1.2gb

  • Does realme c1 supports international sim card?

  • What is its usable ram?

  • why are they making smartphone screens bigger and bigger. quality matters more than quantity.

  • I want to this mobile

  • is it have secondspace!!!!!!!!!!

  • You want additional 16GB storage for merely 500rs ??

  • 16gb with (7gb) available internal storage is very less

  • will this be availble in pakistan?

  • Maybe for India. You can get better specs at this price in China.

  • I need to know that why Oppo can not relishes Realme series in Bangladesh????

  • Its realme 2 oppo has changed its name to realme c1

  • This smartphone is far better than redmi 6a. Best budget smartphone ever.

  • It's not meant for snobbs and connoiseurs. Look at the specs, the price, and in particular the market, and you don't have to ask that question any more.

  • This Phone is AMAZING for this particular Price Range. Thanks OPPO.

  • really cheep

  • Should have increased the price by 500...but minimum 32gb is a must now a days...

  • what is the purpose of launching this phone lol.

  • How about a one word question. Troll?

  • One word: Ew.
