Realme C1

Realme C1 price in Malaysia starts from RM409, putting it firmly in budget territory. Under the hood sits a Snapdragon 450 chipset paired with just 2 GB of RAM, enough for basic multitasking and light apps rather than anything demanding. The 6.2-inch IPS LCD display runs at 720 x 1520 resolution with a 19:9 ratio, giving you a tall screen for its size, though the 271 ppi density keeps things on the modest side of sharp.

Battery life is where this phone tries to earn its keep. A 4230 mAh cell was generous for a phone at this price point back in 2018, and it should still get most users through a full day without hunting for a charger. The dual rear camera setup pairs a 13 MP main sensor with a 2 MP depth sensor for basic portrait shots, while the 5 MP front camera handles selfies without much fuss.

Storage is limited at 16 GB, but there's a dedicated microSD slot supporting up to 256 GB if you need more room for photos and apps. It's a phone built for essentials, not extras.
