Most of the Realme phones are equipped with chipsets and features that can also be found in the best Android phones.

Best Affordable: Realme 7i
It’s a cheap alternative to the other devices, but it does sacrifice a few key features that can be found in the other devices for a little bit more money. The Realme 7i comes with a 6.5-inch IPS LCD HD display and is powered by the Mediatek Helio G85 chipset. It has 4GB of memory and 64GB of storage, which is expandable via a MicroSD card slot. The chipset itself can handle some light gaming, but it’s mainly great for tasks, browsing the internet, social media, calls and other essentials.

The battery is 6,000mAh, so a single charge could even last you 2 days.

Best Budget: Realme C3
The Realme C3 is the lowest-end device from the bunch, but that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s a bad device. It has a 6.5-inch IPS LCD HD display and its powered by the Mediatek Helio G70 chipset. It’s not exactly made for gaming, but some low graphics and light gaming should be just fine. Its main purpose is to provide a bit of entertainment and enable you to reach friends at a very affordable price tag.
As for specifications, it has 2/4GB of RAM, and 32/64GB of storage which can be expanded via a card slot. There are two cameras at the rear, including a 12MP main and 2MP depth sensor. The selfie camera is 5MP and perhaps the main downside is there’s no fingerprint sensor and it sports a microUSB port on the bottom. The 5,000mAh battery however should last you for more than a day on a single charge.

If you’re looking for a simple and very basic device that lets you text friends, and stay in touch with loved ones, the Realme C3 is a great budget device.
Our Recommendation
If you want more power, and want to play some games every once in a while, the Realme GT Neo 5G and Realme X50 5G are excellent devices.
