Realme C25s

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Realme C25s at Rs 25,999 makes a compelling case through its 6000 mAh battery — 20 percent larger than the 5000 mAh standard, translating to roughly 12 to 14 hours of screen-on time. For users who spend long days away from chargers, this endurance is a genuine advantage. The Helio G85 processor is a capable mid-range chip that handles gaming, multitasking, and streaming smoothly, and the Mali-G52 MC2 GPU manages popular titles at medium settings. With 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, the configuration is balanced. The 48 MP f/1.8 main camera with PDAF captures detailed daylight photos, and the wide aperture helps in indoor and low-light conditions. The 8 MP selfie camera with Beauty and HDR modes produces decent social media shots. The 6.5-inch display at 270 PPI with 570-nit peak brightness is one of the brighter panels at this price, ensuring outdoor readability. At 9.6 mm thick, the phone is chunky, but the trade-off is a battery that outlasts nearly all competitors. This phone suits battery-focused buyers who want a fast processor and bright display. The Sego Note 70 Limited Edition at Rs 24,149 saves you Rs 1,850 and matches the Realme's 128 GB storage, but the C25s's 6000 mAh battery significantly outlasts the Sego's 5000 mAh cell — enough for some users to skip a full day of charging. The Realme's Helio G85 is a documented, tested processor versus the Sego's unnamed 'Octa Core' chip, giving buyers certainty about performance. The C25s's 48 MP camera with PDAF also captures more detailed, more reliably focused images than the Sego's 13 MP unit. The Sego's 12 GB of total RAM (4 GB base plus 8 GB virtual) exceeds the Realme's 4 GB of physical memory, though virtual RAM does not match real memory for speed-sensitive tasks. For buyers who prioritise battery endurance and a proven processor, the Realme C25s delivers genuine value; the Sego appeals to those who want more virtual RAM and lower upfront costs.
