realme C12 – Recommended Budget-friendly All Around Smartphone

Posted on by

A reliable smartphone is admittedly a necessity nowadays, not only for busy moms who juggle different tasks every day but basically for everyone, even for our kids who now get their lessons from school via distance learning mode. And with the increasing amount of time that we need to spend on a mobile phone, one of the features that we look for first when choosing a smartphone will be – battery capacity.

realme C12 followed on the heels of the realme C15 launch from the realme C series which is very popular because of its camera capabilities and standout battery capacity.

For the price of 5,990.00, here are some of the outstanding features of realme C12 that we experienced firsthand.

——————————————————–

Long-lasting 6,000 mAH battery – through its Super Power Saving Mode, the device could continuously be used for apps like WhatsApp and YouTube, yet consume only 5% battery life.

It also supports a special OTG reverse charging so users can also charge other devices. The kit we got didn’t have the OTG cable needed for reverse charging but it only costs less than a hundred pesos and available in many mobile phone accessory stores.

13MP AI triple-camera –

  • The device has a 13MP main camera that captures clear details. Its f/2.slarge aperture enables the camera to take in more light, which is conducive for low-lit subjects.

High-end phones can cost us a lot (ranging from P10,000 above) but realme C12 proves that we don’t need to spend a lot to get a great phone.  For its low-point price, it’s one of the least expensive smartphones that we can recommend.  The huge battery capacity is really a must for smart moms and students who can’t afford the time to wait before the phone can be used again, but most importantly, the basic features we need the most such as widescreen display, crisp-clear photos shots, and videos even for dim areas (where kids usually prefer to stay and study) and the big storage space, and smooth gaming and video entertainment – all in this phone, we really couldn’t ask for more.
