Samsung Galaxy M10 vs Realme C1: Specs Comparison

Samsung has had enough. While they are still on the top spot, the South Korean tech company is finally fighting back on emerging Chinese smartphone brands who are starting to eat up a large piece of the pie.

Just recently, the company announced the Samsung Galaxy M10. Together with the M20, these devices are geared to lure back the consumers who are slowly leaning toward brands who offer bang-for-the-buck devices.

Much like the competition, the Galaxy M10 sports appealing specs that aims to justify its price tag. And honestly, it’s something that we’ve been waiting for Samsung to do in a long time.

To gauge if Samsung’s attempt is successful, we’ll be stacking the Galaxy M10 with one of the hard hitters in its price category — the Realme C1.

Realme’s first, and currently the only offering in the Philippines, is one of the most appealing smartphones in this price segment. We praised this device in a lot of things in our full review, which is why we find it the most worthy opponent to Samsung’s latest offering.

So, without further ado, here’s our Samsung Galaxy M10 versus Realme C1 specifications and features comparison.

Both the Samsung Galaxy M20 and the Realme C1 are great devices, making it hard to choose which between these two is the actual winner. So to help you decide, let’s list down each other’s individual wins.

Let’s start with the Samsung Galaxy M20. As what you can see from the table above, the two shares an identical 6.22-inch HD+ screen. However, the smaller waterdrop notch on the Galaxy M20 gives a better screen-to-body ratio and is less distracting than the bigger notch of the Realme C1.

The two phones also share an identical 13-megapixel primary camera. Although Samsung’s offering gets extra points by having a brighter f/1.9 aperture (versus the f/2.2 on the C1).

It also boasts a secondary 5-megapixel wide-angle lens, while the competition settles for the traditional 2-megapixel depth-sensor.
