Realme C12 review

The Realme C12 s splendid battery life is the main feather in its cap

Aug 18 2020 By Kshitij Pujari

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.
