I paid the equivalent of $100 for this phone. For the price, It can't be beaten.
This phone is a jack of all traits - it does everything well, but it doesn't do ONE specific thing perfectly.
I bought this phone, as I stated, for $100 brand new back in February 2022.
After two years I can say the following:
-It holds up surprisingly well for web browsing and can play videos fluidly up to 1080p despite the screen being 720p.
-The battery is still going strong - not the same as when I got it, but it still holds up a day of usage. Charging is still fast, almost 1% every 1-1.5 min. with the included charger and cable.
-Modern apps still run effortlessly
-Android updates are still provided every 2-3 months despite being released back in Q4 of 2021.
With all of that being said, I have two criticisms - the display and the cameras.
Addressing the display, It has large amounts of ghosting. And it's not very bright. Despite that, it decently displays colors and is pretty large.
Addressing the cameras, they are overall surprisingly good, DESPITE the video mode. Video footage taken on this phone looks like it's been taken on camcorder from the 90's. Colors are washed out, there is NO stabilization whatsoever and also, as the cherry on top, there is even ghosting IN THE VIDEO FOOTAGE! Otherwise, photo mode is mind-blowing, using AI to improve photos, they turn out well, but that is only if you know how to tune absolutely every setting.
For one hundred dollars it is a very good phone, and any criticisms are thrown out the window thanks to the price.

Really Sh*tty Phone. apps keep crashing. And when I just lightly drop it, after a few minutes it won't let me take pictures nor click apps since they crash all the time. I have to restart it everytime this happens. This bug happened to me 6 times in 1 day. and when it restarted it just didn't detect the micro SD card and the sim card. I had to take the sim card and the micro SD card back and put it in to make it detect. Also, It Gets hot when I just don't use it. & Genshin can't even run on this piece of e waste. realme c21y beats this thing even tho they have the same processor and specs. The charging is so slow. I know it's 18W but my other phone with 18W charges faster. The other phone full charged at 2-3 hours and mine full charged at 5 HOURS!!!!! I knew I should've gotten the itel p55 instead. Don't Recommend.

This is my main phone, it has so many issues. The issues are: When I go to a specific website it just blacks out and just powers off.
And when I play really light games it gets hot really quickly.
And the ui has so many bugs it's totally unusable. I use another ui launcher and it's perfectly fine.
Fix this. I thought realme ui was not bad at all, I was wrong. I would rather have a old Samsung flagship than this realshit

Minu, 25 Dec 2022Android 12 would run much better with similar stock Android... moreit would still lag like helio g25.
if it runs on android 9, it would be an overkill of budget phones!!
