We can really say yet that they are a contender , we need to see consistency and improvements in their productions for the next couple of years, but if they can they might be king of the market soon

To be honest...the realme C61 is an upgraded phone compared to the realme note 50. So depending on your budget, you can choose either.

Both are impressive in their own ways but from the masses, I think it's the C61.

Realme phones offer great performance and features at affordable prices, making them popular among budget-conscious consumers.

I didn’t expect much at this price, but the Realme C61 has exceeded my expectations in every way

Undoubtedly just 40k more for a 6g ram phone with 50mp of camera

Perfect

I love the two phones ❤️🤩
