If I'm on a tight budget, I'd go for the realme C75.

I like that realme keeps things affordable and clean.

It was actually launched on April 3rd not December 2024

Sonoyom:
Do they have a service centre anywhere in the country?

Of course they do, don’t other places but I’m sure of Lagos

Rictus1:
A lot of midrange phones use mediatek so why is this an exception

The way it looks alone is enough to consider😂

Rictus1:
aside from cpu, storage size also determines whether the phone would run smoothly or not. realme having combination of the best of both qualities is very nice

realme is slowly building a name for themselves.

Rictus1:
With this budget you will need something that can deliver. A phone with good battery life, fast charge, good storage space and a fair camera quality. realme is known for quality affordable phones.. the note 50/ C61 is within that range. You would enjoy them for a long time especially if you don't over work it

I like that realme keeps things affordable and clean.

Shelley100:
Good morning. Please can you recommend a budget phone for me. My budget is 120-130k. I was contemplating between realme note50 and redmi 14C as they both seems to be within my range.

I presently use redmi note 8, but it hangs a lot this days. Camera isn't that important. Just something I can browse without hanging and an ok battery

realme C75 really looks like it’s worth checking out.

bioluwatinfe:
A very good combination. I love that they made sure the phone has all the required features for daily activities

The way it looks alone is enough to consider.

bioluwatinfe:
You can go for realme Note50. It’s doesn’t lag or hang and has a considerable good battery capacity. Perfect for daily activities that are not heavy duty

I think this could be a good long-term option.

bioluwatinfe:
Realme C75 isn’t midrange? Please explain more

Yeah true it’s a budget phone but So far, I’ve only heard positive feedback on it

Rictus1:
someone complained terrible about the realme phone he bought. Come to find out that it was fake. The carton spelt "realmi" . Let's all be careful when buying phones and make sure we buy from approved stores to avoid ozeba

Are you kidding 😂 what is ozeba 😂😂😂😂
That’s bad

To me the realme C75 seems like a smart choice for young people

Jesutooni:
I think they've invested too much to pull out
And who knows, what if they follow this as their own brand?

I’d definitely recommend realme to anyone looking for quality without breaking the bank

Jesutooni:
realme completely dominated in India. Like no contest lmao.

Realme is really stepping up their game. The Note 50 has everything I was looking for in a phone

debopeola:
The realme C61's impressive specs and features make it an excellent choice for professionals and individuals seeking a reliable smartphone.

If you’re looking for a reliable and fast phone without breaking the bank, the Realme C61 is the one

debopeola:
realme C61 is exceptional when it comes to it specifications and worth.

I was skeptical at first, but now I’m so glad I bought the Realme C61. It’s worth every naira

debopeola:
I am super excited in trying out the camera feature. I have read a lot about how it takes stunning pictures.

The Realme C61 feels so premium in hand. It’s hard to believe it’s in the budget range
