realme C25Y with 50MP cam silently arrives in PH, priced at 7,990

We recently spotted an ad via Instagram launched by realme Philippines to promote two of its Y series smartphones—the C21Y and C25Y. C25Y is new.

50MP cam on a budget!

Coming from the realme C25S, the C25Y features an improved 50MP f/1.8 PDAF primary camera instead of 48MP. It is also using a different chipset, 1.8GHz 12bn UNISOC Tiger T610 octa-core with Mali-G52 MP2 (614.4MHz) GPU instead of MTK Helio G85.

This uses 2x Cortex-A75 cores and 6c Cortex-A55 cores all clocked at 1.8GHz. The battery is also a bit smaller at 5,000mAh versus the 6,000mAh of other C25 phones.

The back design is also slightly different as it features a 3D curved glossy material with a luggage-like gradient finish in Glacier Blue colorway. Based on renders, the square camera hump is also a bit slimmer.

For the rest of the specs, the handset features a 6.5-inch HD+ LCD notch display, 4GB RAM, 64GB expandable storage, USB-C 18W fast charging, a rear-facing fingerprint reader, and dual SIM slots.
