The power button and volume rocker are located on the right side, while the bottom side houses a 3.5mm headphone jack, speaker grille, and a Type-C charging connector. With a thickness of 9.1mm and a weight of 200 grammes, the Realme C21Y may look hefty when held for the first time.

Realme has a history of packing its smartphones with powerful batteries, and the same has been done here. Yes, the Realme C21Y comes with a big 5000 mAh battery capable of delivering a substantial battery backup for the entire day. Normal charging, on the other hand, maybe difficult because it is difficult to replenish such a large battery in such a short period of time.

The only two features that are in favour of the Realme C212Y are the 5000 mAh battery and a 13MP triple rear camera. The rest of the features including a mediocre processor, normal charging, 720-pixel display, poor selfie camera make this unfit for purchase given the present competition.
