The Realme C1 was launched side by side to the Realme 2 Pro, however, unlike the other device, the Realme C1 comes with an exceptionally low-price tag. At this price range, the Realme C1 takes a lot of attention from the budget segment buyers since it competes right on with the Redmi 5A. However, even in this competition the phone ships a lot of value for money which makes it a much better choice compared to the Redmi 5A for a lot of buyers. To have a more in-depth look, we have compiled below five reasons why the Realme C1 deserves the attention of all the budget phone buyers.

Display
While the Redmi 5A comes with a dated display configuration by sporting a 5-inch 16:9 aspect ratio screen, the Realme C1 comes with a 6.2-inch IPS LCD panel which bears an aspect ratio of 19:9 along with a notch. Owing to this configuration, the Realme C1 boasts of a much better display and a better screen to body ratio in a small overall form factor. The phone also comes with minimal bezels making it a really good looking device.
Hardware
The Realme C1 packs the Snapdragon 450 SoC under the hood as compared to the Snapdragon 425 present in the Redmi 5A. Also, the chipset on the Realme device is an octa-core one whereas the one on the Redmi 5A comes only with four cores. Since the Snapdragon 450 clocks better frequency, the single core performance of the Realme C1 also surpasses that of the Redmi 5A.
