Not at all because it is using a chipset similar to snapdragon 710

Phone is not only Chipset.

It has low spec

Let me attempt to broaden your understanding concerning mobile technology and smartphone advancement.

A smartphone is all about the chip.
The major aspect of a smartphone device that makes it a flagship, midrange or lowend is the chipset.
A device can have an hd resolution, 3000mah battery and still be regarded as a flagship if it possess a highend chipset.

The chipset of a smartphone is so major that a device with 2000mah battery and 5inch screen can last longer during use when compared to another device with 3500mah battery with the same screen size.

In fact, a device with a good chipset can turn every ordinary aspect of the same device into extraordinary.
Take for instance this realme c3.
Due to the chipset present in the device and how capable the chipset is being propagated to perform, the device already has numerous buyers listed and ready to pounce.

Less than 14hours of launch, major YouTubers in Indian already has videos up and running, trying to give potential buyers a feel of the new mtk lowend chipset.

I never really preferred any of the mtk chips ranging from a22, p22, p35 to the snapdragon 439.
But this G70 in realme c3, has me imagining how snapdragon is going to reply to this.

I do share some of your assumptions though, as regards to certain features this device lacks.
I did expect it to come with a usb type c port.
But other than this, realme should expect me to send buyers their way this year, pending redmi's 9a launch.
At 35k, this is already looking like a better bargain compared to the redmi 8a, if you can ignore the need for an ir-blaster and sec-mic.

Lets take a look at what a buyer of the realme c3 will be getting specs wise.
A midrange chipset in a lowend bugdet device.
6.5inch hd screen.
5000mah battery fuelling a device powered by a chipset made with a 12nm process.

If this isn't worth paying upto 40k for what is?

ZesusHVWritter:

Fingerprint reader is only relevant to a set of people and depending on your line of interest.
I like my device to have under-display fingerprint reader or don't have a fingerprint at all.
In fact, the major security of a device still rely on the old pin, passcode and pattern. Fingerprint is as relevant as an ir-blaster, its just for the extra.

Nothing beats a device with a clean backpanel. Trust me on this. Having a cutout for Fingerprint at the back of a device to me, just makes the device looks ancient and low-classed.

With this kind specs and price on a phone,u go just dey wonder why tecno,infinix and co.dey WICKED

35k?

For 3gb and 32gb.

Too Expensive

EmpireRaMses01:
I hope so.....we will find out on Tuesday when they launch it

MrBONE2:

Jidibia:

But is the realme 3c available in Nigeria already?

innobarca:

Secondly.... If you go to the phone markets here in Nigeria and Slot, Many people do not care more about chipset than phone design, battery, camera, Fingerprint, display.

Buyers always care more about Design, Camera, Fingerprint, Battery, Display.

Any Xaomi Phone with good chipset, 4gb/64gb,full HD, good battery, sharp camera, Volte and others must be expensive, check their phones with good specs and the price.

Then you will see other phones from different good companies offering good specs at a lower price than Xaomi.

Conclusion.... 35k to 40k will get more better phones, Yes bc I know.

Pls do well to mention a flagship phone from 2018 with 2000mah battery, 5 inches, HD resolution....??

innobarca:


Fingerprint is important.

There are phones that has the Fingerprint at the front, even by the side (power button/Fingerprint)

They look classy.

ZesusHVWritter:

I never said fingerprint reader isn't, kindly read my statement again.
I told someone I can't use a main device without ir blaster. Ir blaster is important, but not to everyone.
Y9s and redmi k30 4G are examples of devices that has their fingerprint reader on the side.
They aren't 50k or less.

EmpireRaMses01:
Not yet.....the brand isn't as popular as Tecno,Infinix,Samsung so it might be hard to find, but it might be available at some online stores

Jidibia:

But I thought all those guys that advertise and sell xiaomi, umidigi and other unpopular brands on nairaland can help bring it as well. But can I get it on aliexpress cus someone said its even cheaper on aliexpress. Please help me confirm. Thanks.

EmpireRaMses01:
If you are willing to get a this devices just wait till next week when xiaomi launch their redmi 9a then you will have options to compare with or you can look into some umidigi,Samsung or even tecno phones and compare to know which one suits you well

EmpireRaMses01:
The device was released just last week.....so it almost impossible for any Nairaland seller to have it yet.....but you will definitely fine it at aliexpress for even cheaper price.....but u will have to wait long for delivery

35k to 40k will get anybody a better phone with snapdragon processor, 4gb ram and 64gb Rom, full HD, good battery and good camera, Fingerprint,nfc,volte,4g Lte.

That's my argument and I know that.

Anybody who wishes to buy that realme c3 at that high price bc of only chipset should go ahead.

Gracias.


Nokia 7 is running on snapdragon 630..... 55k to 60k.

Asus zenfone 5q/lite is running on same chipset.... 35k to 40k

Anyone buying the Nokia over the Asus is buying name ONLY.

Spec over name for me.

Does a phone at that price work?

ZesusHVWritter:
Please give me a link to get this asus phone you are talking about. So I can use for myself.

Jidibia:

Thanks but I have used a couple of umidigi phones in the past. I want to try something different cus Umidigi cameras are wacked in my opinion. Samsung of 35k doesn't offer good processor. I hate anything tecno. There is no way xiaomi will sell redmi 9a of 3/32 GB with helio G70 or the processor of its equivalent for 35k going by what they are selling redmi 8a. Las Las na dey realms 3c go still win for my side.

innobarca:


Go to phone village, Alaba international market.

Ask of it... It's available.

ZesusHVWritter:

Can you provide certain details of the phone by using antutu to reveal the phone details including supported sensors and actual configuration of the phone's hardware?
So I have a broader idea of what I will be advising someone to get.

ZesusHVWritter:

Very valid points sir.
But you will be amazed at how low and affordable xiaomi can price their devices. Please do note that redmi is now a brand on its own, so expect a shocking pricing of the incoming redmi devices including the k30 pro.
What should worry you is this, how quickly the redmi 9a will launch in Nigeria seeing that redmi is now a brand on its own and its now situated in India.

innobarca:

If its Nokia or Samsung, or Huawei, or Xaomi.... You will hype it.

Asus is a known company.

That asus zenfone 5q/lite is the phone am using to type this.

The build alone, people are asking me to buy for them.

4gb/64gb, snapdragon 630,camera is WOW, full HD, 4g Lte, good battery, nfc, 6 inches, Fingerprint, 2.2ghz.

Spec is important to me.

It's on YouTube, GSM arena, everywhere.
