Realme C2: New design, Helio P22 processor, 4000mAh battery

Realme just held a big event in India and released two new smartphones, which includes the new Realme C2.

Launched alongside the highly anticipated Realme 3 Pro, the Realme C2 brings a couple of noticeable improvements over its predecessor. One of them being is the new diamond-section design that’s made from a nanoscale composite material that reflects light like a real diamond stone.

The Realme C2 is powered by a 12nm MediaTek Helio P22 octa-core processor, with tons of AI capabilities that will aide its camera and facial recognition security features.

Speaking of which, it has the same 13-megapixel + 2-megapixel primary cameras from before, with the Chromo Boost mode that we also saw on the Realme 3. While on the front we have a 5-megapixel shooter for selfies.

Realme also included a 4,000mAh battery on the C2. It’s relatively lower than the 4,230mAh capacity on the C1, but still impressive nonetheless.
