New Realme C3 model gets a triple rear camera treatment

Triple camera setup arrives on Realme C3

One of Reame's best selling smartphone lineup is the C series where the company showcases its entry level smartphone offerings. And being the entry level and the most budget-friendly of all, C1, C2, and C3 phones have been offering dual rear cameras to keep the prices down. Today, for some reason, Realme just launched a brand new variant of the C3 model, and this one sports a third camera lens on the back.

In terms of specs and features, this C3 is pretty similar to what is currently released in the Indian market. That includes the same 6.5-inch HD+ display, Mediatek Helio G70 processor, huge 5000mAh battery, and the first two cameras on the back which offers 12MP for the primary and 2MP for the secondary with depth sensor. On this C3, the third camera lens is pegged at 2MP and comes with a macro lens for taking super close-up photos. The front camera, situated in the waterdrop notch, remains the same at 5MP. Besides a third shooter on the back, this C3 has one more surprise feature.

There is a fingerprint scanner now too

Also, C series smartphones never came out with a fingerprint reader. And that also changes starting with this new variant of the Realme C3. There is now fingerprint scanner on this one situated on its back panel and Realme claims it can unlock the phone in just 0.27 second.

There is just one catch though, this particular version of the C3 is only available in Thailand and Indonesia, at least in the meantime. The 3GB+32GB model of the Realme C3 is priced at TBH 3,999 and will go on sale starting this February 20 via Shopee and Lazada. In Philippine peso, that converts to around Php6,500. Though we don't know yet if this variant will also be released in the local market.
