For starters, both are sporting a glass-like design but in reality, it’s using polycarbonate material. However, Realme 2 gets the advantage here with its somewhat striking diamond finish of 2015. Flip them both and you’ll be greeted with the notch.
The display, battery, main dual camera setup, and SoC are the same for both. While the difference lies in the storage and RAM. Realme C1 packs a meager 2GB/16GB combo while the Realme 2 starts at 3GB/32GB. Another notable difference is the selfie camera with a better 8MP f2.2 sensor and the presence of a fingerprint scanner for the latter.
Come November 29, the Realme C1 is estimated to be priced at Php4,990 while the Realme 2 at Php6,490. No doubt, the Realme 2 is a better pick here and you should avoid getting a 2GB/16GB combo, especially when we’re about to enter 2019.
