Christmas carols heard here and there, parols hanging everywhere, lights twinkling at every turn, all these mean only one thing: that Christmas is just right around the corner. Realme, the newest smartphone brand to enter the Philippine market, is all set to make every young Filipino’s Christmas wish come true with its first smartphone in the country – the Realme C1.

Dubbed as the #RealEntryLevelKing, the Realme C1 packs features– hardware and software–that are unmatched in its price point, making it the perfect launchpad of Realme Philippines. A true embodiment of the brand’s tagline “Power Meets Style,” The Realme C1 integrates powerful and reliable performance on one hand and contemporary design on the other to cater to the varied requirements of the Filipino youth. But even with its innovative features, the smartphone remains affordable, so today’s youth can take on the adventures that come their way.

“We at Realme are very happy to have launched in the Philippines during the Christmas season. We are truly excited to bring our products in this country for young Filipinos to finally experience a phone that packs the performance and style they want and need at competitive price points,” shares Realme Philippines Chief Operating Officer Jacky Chen.

Santa’s notch-y list

Aiming to be a brand that complements the lifestyle of today’s youth, Realme develops phones that reflect the user’s aesthetics, style, vibe and personality. It is both on-trend and in sync with the times.

The Realme C1 meets the latest clamor for notch-y and nice smartphones with its large notch full-screen, the first smartphone in its price segment to have such. The compact design of its earpiece, front camera and light sensor enable the phone to achieve a 19:9 screen display ratio.

The phone’s 6.2” screen allows a wide viewing angle which delivers immersive visual experience, perfect for an evening of Netflix chill time with family while waiting for Santa to drop by or an afternoon of Mobile Legends rumble with friends after a Christmas reunion.

All I want for Christmas is juice

Ever experienced your phone running out of power just when a picture-perfect scenery comes along during a road trip or while the classmate you have a secret crush on suddenly calls to ask about a project?

Mobile communication, entertainment, social media, work, studies … multitasking is taking on a whole new meaning in today’s hyper-connected world. The answer is a smartphone that can do double duty–play music while doing research or stream a movie while the user is chatting with her friends–for long periods of time.

The Realme C1 does exactly this with its 4,230mAh mega battery, another game-changer in the entry-level smartphone segment. It is the only smartphone in its price range that packs a powerful battery capable of supporting up to 44 hours of phone calls, 18 hours of music playback with Wi-Fi and 10 hours of gaming.

The Realme further sweetens the deal with core power-saving features such as the App-freezing Power Saver and Quick App Freezing for more hours of phone fun. When turned on, these features save 5 percent to 11 percent of battery. Users of the Realme C1 can tap and play on apps and still have enough juice to last a day.

Deck the (IG) walls with snaps of folly

Be ready for noche buena foodie shots and Christmas buena familia photos. Capture the joy and love during everyone’s favorite time of the year with your new Realme C1, truly a gift that keeps on giving with its features that exceed expectations for its price.

The Realme C1 has dual 13MP + 2MP rear cameras with software algorithm for clearer shooting contour and more natural background blur. The cameras’ phase-detection autofocus improves focus speed and captures every wonderful second, guaranteeing you of IG-worthy reunion snapshots that will outlast many Christmases.

Take your Christmas selfies to a whole new level with Realme C1’s 5MP camera’s AI beauty app. With 296 recognition points, the front camera intelligently recognizes the gender, age, skin tone and even skin type of characters through AI algorithms. The camera records the user’s photo editing habits and applies these editing points in future photo sessions.

The phone itself is an IG-worthy beauty with its two colors: Mirror Black and Navy Blue. The class and elegance of these colors will definitely match the festive season.

No need to worry either about the phone surviving the hustle and bustle of the holidays. The Realme C1 is future-proof with its third-generation Corning Gorilla Glass with native damage and scratch resistance. Its electroplated layer increases the hardness, prevents wear, and improves smoothness, heat resistance and surface appearance. All of these features ensure your Realme C1 will stay looking royal for years to come.

Slay bells ring, are you listening?

Who would not want a phone that works hard and plays harder?

The Realme C1 lets you slay your game with its Qualcomm Snapdragon 450 octa-core processor, 2GB RAM + 16GB ROM. This means no lags when streaming music, downloading videos or catching up on a new game.

With its two nano 4G SIM cards and dedicated micro SD cards, the Realme C1 is sure to slay anyone’s communication needs, allowing easy switching between work and mobile socials.
