Realme showed up like that quiet kid in school who suddenly drops a fire mixtape — and now I can’t stop talking about their new 5G smartphone for 2025. On paper, it looks like someone just asked ChatGPT to “make the ultimate phone but don’t let it cost more than ₹12K.” A 240MP camera (like, what even?), an 8200mAh battery that laughs in the face of power banks, and performance that feels way too smooth for this price bracket.
Realme’s New 5G Smartphone
Okay, so I wasn’t planning on getting excited about another budget smartphone this month, but here we are. Realme just dropped its new Realme C20 5G, and honestly? It’s kind of ridiculous what they’ve packed into a phone that costs less than a decent dinner date in Delhi. ₹11,499 and you’re getting stuff we usually only see in phones double or triple the price. I mean… a 240MP camera and an 8200mAh battery? What even?

Realme C20 5G – 240MP Camera That’s Basically a Pocket DSLR
Let’s just start with the headline-grabber — the camera. I was skeptical when I first saw “240MP” because numbers don’t always mean better photos. But this one? It actually delivers. Triple camera setup, AI magic doing its thing, and even OIS (so my coffee-shaky hands don’t ruin every shot). Low light, wide angles, portraits — it all just works. Oh, and yes, it shoots 8K video, which I don’t really need… but now that I have it, I’m going to shoot my cat in 8K just because I can.
An 8200mAh Battery? My Phone Finally Lasts More Than a Day!
No joke, the 8200mAh battery is a lifesaver. I’ve used phones that claim “all-day battery” and then die on me before sunset. This one? I’ve gone almost two full days on a single charge. And when it does need juice, the 120W SuperDart charging is wild — 0 to 100% in under 25 minutes. It’s like phone charging on steroids.

Realme C20 5G – Finally, Budget Phones Get Serious Performance
Under the hood, we’ve got the MediaTek Dimensity 9000-series chip. Honestly, this thing flies. I tried multitasking — Spotify, Chrome, Instagram, camera, YouTube — and not once did it stutter. The 12GB RAM + 256GB UFS 3.1 storage combo doesn’t just sound good, it feels good when you’re actually using the phone. Apps open fast, games run smooth, and everything’s just… responsive. 5G speeds are solid too, at least where I tested in Gurgaon.
Looks That Make You Forget the Price Tag
This isn’t one of those “cheap but powerful” phones that look like toys. The 6.8-inch AMOLED display is a treat — punchy colors, deep blacks, and that buttery 120Hz refresh rate. Add in the in-display fingerprint scanner and the matte-glass back, and this phone actually looks and feels premium. Like, I’m not embarrassed pulling it out in public.

Smart Features That Don’t Feel Gimmicky
Realme’s UI 5.0 (based on Android 14) is surprisingly clean. I’ve used bloated Android skins that just slow everything down, but this one is snappy and straightforward. You get handy stuff like app cloning, privacy dashboards, dual audio sharing, and gesture controls — nothing revolutionary, but useful. And it doesn’t kill the battery, which is a big win.
Final Thoughts: Is It Worth It?
In a word? Yes. If you’ve got ₹11,499 and want a phone that doesn’t cut corners where it counts, the Realme C20 5G is an easy recommendation. It’s not perfect (no wireless charging, for one), but for this price? It’s kind of hard to complain. The camera’s insane, battery life is bonkers, and it feels like a flagship without the flagship price. Whether you’re into mobile photography, binge-watching shows, gaming, or just want a phone that won’t quit on you midday — this thing delivers.
