It looks like battery life won’t be a problem; the Realme C3 is fitted with a 5,000mAh power brick. According to Realme, you should be able to use the phone for a long time, depending on your activity:

• 30 days: standby
• 43.9 hours: calls
• 19.4 hours: music streaming
• 20.8 hours: YouTube
• 10.6 hours: PUBG Mobile

The C3’s display measures 6.5 inches with an 89.8% screen-to-body ratio, Corning Gorilla Glass protection, and a small waterdrop notch that houses the selfie camera. On the back are two cameras headlined by a 12-megapixel sensor.

There will be two memory configurations: 3GB/32GB and 4GB/64GB. The Realme C2 with 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage cost ₹7,999 (around P5,691 or $112) and P6,490 ($127) at launch in India and the Philippines, respectively. The Realme C3 base model will probably go on sale for around those prices when it gets released in the said countries.
