Expert Review Summary

Expert Rating:

3.5/5

Kshitij Pujari
by  Kshitij Pujari , 18 Aug 2020
  • Pros
  • Excellent battery
  • Good cameras
  • Clean software
  • Cons
  • Average performance
  • Misses out on fast charging
  • B&W sensor is not very useful
  • Verdict

The biggest drawback for the Realme C12, like it was for the C11, is sub-par performance. The Redmi 9 Prime, while costing slightly more, performs much better and also offers a more versatile quad-camera setup. The saving grace for the C12 is its humongous battery and a set of decent cameras.
