Realme C20 Review

Looking for a no-fuss smartphone that nails the basics without burning a hole in your wallet? The Realme C20 is one of those entry-level Android phones that keeps things simple and sometimes, what you need. Whether you’re after a backup device, a phone for light use or something reliable for the folks at home, the C20 offers solid value in a minimal package.

Let’s break it down what works, what doesn’t and why it might just be a smart pick, when picked up refurbished from Reloved Gadgets.

Advantages of the Realme C20

• Massive 5,000mAh Battery
  One of the phone’s standout features is its long-lasting battery. Even with regular usage  calls, texts, browsing and the occasional video this phone stretches into a second day without reaching for the charger.
   
• Sturdy Build & Clean Design
  The C20 has a premium feel for a budget device. The matte plastic finish is grippy and smudge-resistant and the minimalist look is quite sleek.
   
• Large 6.5-inch Display
  For the price, the HD+ display is decent bright and vibrant. Great for watching videos or browsing social media without squinting.
   
• MediaTek Helio G35 Chipset
  While it’s no performance powerhouse, the chipset handles day-to-day tasks like messaging, calling and light app usage smooth.
   
• Dedicated microSD Slot + Headphone Jack
  It’s the little things like expandable storage and the good ol’ 3.5mm jack that make the C20 a practical choice for many users.
   

Disadvantages of the Realme C20

• Limited RAM & Storage
  With just 2GB RAM and 32GB storage, multitasking can feel sluggish. It's best suited for light users who stick to essential apps.
   
• Single Rear Camera (8MP)
  The camera is basic. It does okay in good lighting but isn’t meant for serious photography. Night shots, in particular, struggle.
   
• No Fingerprint Sensor
  While it does offer face unlock, the lack of a fingerprint sensor might be a dealbreaker for some looking for quicker or more secure unlocking.
   
• Micro-USB Charging
  In 2025, Micro-USB feels a bit dated but at this price point, it's an understandable compromise.
   

Conclusion

If you’re after a phone that covers the essentials with solid battery life and a large display, the Realme C20 still holds up as a budget option. It's not built for gaming or heavy multitasking, but for everyday tasks it's dependable, sturdy and simple.

when you get it refurbished from Reloved Gadgets, you're not just saving money you're also making a more sustainable tech choice. Every phone deserves a second shot and the Realme C20 is a great example of a device that can keep going strong with the right care.
