Is it any good?
The C100i is realme's lowest-priced 4G phone: 4GB + 64GB for ₹15,999. It is for a first phone, an older parent or a spare, where calls, messaging and video matter more than cameras or speed.
It has a UNISOC T7250, a 6.8-inch 120Hz LCD rated at 900 nits, a 6,500 mAh battery with 15W charging, 10W wired reverse charging, IP64 splash resistance, a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSD slot and realme UI on Android 16. It is 8.69mm thick and weighs 210g.
The catch is the camera, a single 8MP sensor on the back with a 5MP selfie camera, and the slow charging. ₹500 more buys the P4s Lite, with a 7,000 mAh battery and a 13MP rear camera, which is the better spend. No update promise is published, so treat this as a phone for the basics.
