REALME C11: CELULAR BÁSICO com BOA experiência MULTIMÍDIA, mas... | Análise / Review By TudoCelular

Subtitled by Paulo Montenegro - @pmontenegroreal (Twitter) Looking for a cheap cell phone to buy and didn't like the options of Samsung, Motorola and Xiaomi in the market? Realme recently arrived betting on this segment in Brazil by bringing the C11 its new basicão for those looking for a good smartphone paying little. It was released for R$1,000 but they appear for less than R$800 these days. Is it a good buy? Let's find out! Cheap cell phone doesn't always mean worn and dull design The C11 retains elements of the brand's more expensive models, such as the small lines that cross the back to generate a gradient effect and make the device less slippery. There is a smooth band that runs from the top, where the camera block is, to the bottom bearing the realme name. The C11 comes in 2 color options, gray and blue, and has a metallic tone to give the impression of a more robust product. There are two disappointing points that we need to mention: the first is the lack of a biometric reader, but at this price point it is still common.

The second is that the speaker is at the rear and tends to be muffled easily. The back edges are curved to make the grip more comfortable. On the left side we find the SIM card drawer, which allows you to use two chips and a Micro SD card at the same time. On the right side is the power button and the volume control. At the bottom we also have a micro USB input, a microphone, and a headphone jack.

The C11 comes with a 6.52" screen with HD resolution IPS LCD panel. The brightness level is just decent but in the entry-level segment it's not common to see devices with glossy screens, so don't expect good visibility when using the realme basics away. By default, it tends to cooler colors, leaving the bluish white. You can control the color temperature and also use visual comfort feature to reduce the emission of blue light and cause less eyestrain. the position of speaker may not be the best, but the sound quality is above the competition.

We have good power with defined treble and bass, but it lacks midrange practically non-existent. It is good to remember that this model we reviewed is the 2021 version equipped with platform the Unisoc being different from the 2020 C11, which comes with Helio G35 of Mediatek, moreover, 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. If you're looking for a phone with good performance, forget the C11. it is slow in use in multiple apps, not cons It can hold apps open in the background and it takes a long time to load games. Also don't expect high numbers in benchmarks on AnTuTu we have scores similar to the Helio G25 present on the Redmi 9a and the Snapdragon 450 from the Galaxy A02s.

And in games? In CoD Mobile it gets good fluidity in the lower graphic quality while in PUBG it was possible to play in the balanced graphic option without suffering from many chokes. The C11 is a casual gaming phone. It comes with a 5,000 mAh battery, pretty much the standard for any recent entry-level cell phone. How can Unisoc hardware handle this? Well, the runtime is good and it pays all day, but it doesn't compete with Samsung and Motorola at that point. The 10 watt charger takes over 3 hours to fully fill the battery.

It's a long time but within the segment standard. The lack of accelerated charging makes the battery recover only 9% with 15 minutes in the socket and even with half an hour of charge we have only 20% recovered. The C11 comes with Android 11 Go Edition, modified by the realme UI interface. The system is not the fastest and this was expected due to the weak hardware it has, however, as we have the lightest version of Android here, it could be a little more fluid. The manufacturer's interface comes close to Android and standard and comes with just the basics for you to use.

It's not the kind of device that brings lots of extra features, so you basically find what's available on any Android. As there is no biometric reader, you will have to use facial or standard biometrics to unlock the device. As for update support, the C11 isn't that far behind in security patches compared to the more expensive ones we've tested recently. In terms of cameras, we have another disappointment – ​​the 2020 model has a 13 MP main sensor and a secondary camera for blurring scenarios. On the C11 2021 there is only one camera at the rear with a single 8 MP sensor.

The front, however, is the same as before with a 5 MP camera for selfies. The photos taken by the C11 are decent when there is favorable light but the dynamic range is very limited. When shooting against the light you will lose details in the shadows and have sky bursts frequently. There is artificial intelligence to help calibrate the software better in an attempt to help with photos but in practice it is useless. In many scenarios it doesn't make any difference and when it helps it doesn't change much.

As there is no camera to blur, the entire portrait effect process is done via software and has major flaws. If the camera is no longer thrilling when shooting during the day, at night we have images with lower contrast and grainy. There isn't even a night mode to help, so try not to stray too far from bright places. The front one records reasonable selfies but suffers from noise at night and portrait mode tends to disable HDR. The camcorder records in Full HD, has no stabilization and focus is slow.

Are you disappointed with the C11? What can we find in the same price range? Galaxy A02S delivers better performance, has more complete system, battery lasts much longer and camcorder is better. From Motorola we have the E7 Power motorcycle, which delivers the same level of performance but the battery yields more and the cameras are better for photos and videos. From Xiaomi there is the Redmi 9a, which is also a little more agile, while the battery yields the same and the camera has similar quality, however, its software is more complete. The C11 realme is a basic phone that isn't really bad at all, but it doesn't stand out at all either. It's a device for those who are just tired of the traditional options on the market and are looking for cleaner and no-frills software – it's not fast and the battery doesn't last more than a day, however, it will please the less demanding.

Despite the mono sound and the screen not being very high brightness, it still delivers a better multimedia experience than the basics from Samsung, Motorola and Xiaomi. Now the question is: is it worth paying more than R$700? You can find more interesting options like LG's K41s but if you don't want to venture into products from a company that has left the cell phone market, then your options for good and cheap are limited.

I'll wrap up here, a big hug and see you next time.
