Realme C3 64 GB / 3 GB
 | Outdated Product A bright "offspring" of OPPO, classified as a low-cost segment of "tubes" with ambitions. Inside it is powerful by the standards of entry-level smartphones, the MediaTek Helio G70 chipset, flavored with 3/64 GB of memory. By the way, only this configuration of the device carries an NFC on board. The “iron” of the gadget confidently “turns” games (at medium graphics settings), solves everyday tasks without a hitch and provides the smartphone with a quick response to user actions in general. A separate reason for pride is a large-caliber screen with a diagonal of 6.5" based on an IPS type matrix. The image is broadcast on it in HD + format (1560x720 pixels). According to the latest fashion, in the upper segment of the display, a teardrop cutout was made for a 5 MP front camera lens. The Real...me C3 64GB/3GB Gradient Back Triple Camera combines 12 + 2 + 2 MP image sensors under the wing. In the company of a “three-story” camera from the rear, there is a fingerprint sensor platform for unlocking a smartphone using a fingerprint pattern. Another weighty argument in favor of the model is longevity without external energy supply. All thanks to a capacious rechargeable battery exactly 5000 mAh. |

Best low-cost smartphone with NFC?
Realme C3 is the best low-cost smartphone with NFC, Realme representatives boldly claimed when they presented C3. We did not believe them and decided to double-check. As it turned out, they were right, it may not be the best in the $150 + NFC catalogs, but it is definitely one of the best.
5000 mAh battery
For this amount, a potential buyer will receive an intelligent IPS screen with a good margin of brightness and high-quality colour reproduction, a moderately performant processor from Mediatek (of course, within its price category), a durable 5000 mAh battery, a well-assembled case with an unusual pattern on the back cover and a good camera by the standards of this class.
Everything you need for Instagram
In the daytime, the Realme C3 takes nice photos with a good level of detail, but so-so dynamic range. In good light, the camera's automation handles well with the task (but sometimes it is drawn to green shades), at night, according to tradition, it does not work very well. But the camera does a very good job with blurring the background. In general, it’s quite a good option for Instagram photos.
Who's new?
Naturally, there are no compromises in such smartphones, and in this case, you still want more modern USB C and full-fledged dual-band Wi-Fi. Yes, and the display resolution could be higher, 1560x720 pixels by 6.5" is still not enough. By the way, if you set the filter by the price tag and NFC, it turns out that Realme C3's competitors will be a couple of ultra-low-cost phones from Huawei and last year's Realme 5, which has the same NFC and similar hardware, but a slightly more sophisticated camera and dual-band Wi-Fi.
