The Realme C11 is set to be unveiled in the Kenyan market on August 25th, 2020, through a livestream launch at 11:00 am.

As a budget smartphone, the Realme C11 is designed to offer a great balance of performance, battery life, and design at an affordable price. With a price tag of Ksh. 9,999, it's an attractive option for low and middle-income earners in Kenya.

The phone features a sturdy build quality and a battery that lasts up to 28 hours and 25 minutes in our HD video loop battery test. It also offers smooth performance and a user-friendly experience.

The Realme C11 has a 6.5-inch Mini-drop display with HD+ resolution, which is a standard screen that we've seen several times on Realme phones in this segment. The display offers adequate brightness levels indoors and decent picture quality for its price.

The phone is powered by an octa-core MediaTe Helio G35 processor with IMG PowerVR GE8320 GPU, and it packs 2GB of RAM and 32GB internal storage, which can be expanded up to 256GB by adding a microSD card.

Battery life is excellent, with the phone lasting up to a day and a half with normal day-to-day usage. Even on days where you engage in gaming and consuming a lot of media content, the phone doesn't drain easily.

The Realme C11 gets a 13MP primary camera accompanied by a 2MP depth sensor, which is a pretty standard setup for a budget smartphone. It does well in capturing attractive daylight photos, with rich and vibrant colors and good detail and contrast.
