Battery life is the main selling point here. A 6000 mAh cell should get you through a full day and then some, though charging tops out at 10W so a full refill takes a while. Under the hood is a Helio G35 chipset paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage, which handles calls, messaging and light browsing fine but isn't built for heavy gaming or multitasking. The 6.5-inch IPS LCD runs at 720 x 1560 resolution, enough for everyday use without straining the budget.
On the back you get a triple camera setup led by a 13MP main sensor, joined by 2MP black-and-white and 2MP units for basic depth shots. Front camera duties fall to a 5MP shooter, and video caps at 1080p on both ends. Realme C12 price in Malaysia starts from RM499.
It runs Android 10 with realme UI 1.0 on top, and you still get a rear fingerprint scanner, dual SIM support, a headphone jack and expandable storage via microSD. It's a straightforward pick if battery capacity matters more to you than raw speed.
