realme C30

Budget shoppers will notice the Unisoc Tiger T612 chipset first; it's an octa-core processor built for light use like messaging, browsing and basic apps rather than heavy gaming. Paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage, there's a microSD slot too, so you can add up to 1TB if 32GB feels tight. The 6.5-inch IPS LCD screen runs at 720 x 1600 resolution, fine for everyday viewing though not sharp by flagship standards.

realme C30 price in Malaysia starts from RM395, putting it firmly in entry-level territory. The 5000mAh battery is the standout here, big enough to comfortably last a full day or more on light usage, and it should offset the modest 8MP rear camera and 5MP selfie shooter, which handle basic photos without much fuss.

It runs Android 11 with Realme UI Go, a lighter version of the interface suited to the phone's hardware. You still get dual SIM support, GPS, Bluetooth 5.0 and a headphone jack, practical basics that matter more than flashy extras at this price.
