Realme C30, a budget smartphone, with a large 5,000 mAh battery

Three months after the C31’s release, Realme unveiled a new budget smartphone. The Realme C30 has a sizable 6.5″ screen and a 5,000 mAh battery.

A Unisoc T612 chipset powers the C30. It has an octa-core CPU with two significant Cortex-A75 units operating at 1.8 GHz and is constructed using a 12nm technology. An LCD with HD+ resolution and a waterdrop notch for the 5MP selfie camera are present on the front of the device.
