Realme C12 has launched in Indonesia, just a few days ahead of its Indian launch alongside the Realme C15 which is scheduled for August 18 at 12:30 PM IST. The C15 was announced late in July in Indonesia and will launch on August 18 in India. Recently, the company launched its entry-level Realme C11 which starts at Rs 7,499 and is powered by MediaTek Helio G35 processor.
Realme C12 shares its hardware with the C15 with the same HD+ display, high capacity 6,000mAh battery and a MediaTek chip under the hood. Let’s take a brief look at the specifications and pricing of the Realme C12.
Realme C12 comes in a single 3GB+32GB variant and is priced at IDR 1,899,000 which roughly translates to Rs 9,500 by direct conversion. We expect the price in India to start around Rs 9,000 but the company could introduce multiple storage variants when the C12 launches in India.
Realme C12 features a 6.5-inch HD+ (1560 x 720 pixels) resolution display with a waterdrop notch cutout that gives the screen a 20:9 aspect ratio. The display also receives additional protection by a layer of Gorilla Glass. The C12 measures 9.8 millimetres in thickness and weighs 209 grams.
It is powered by MediaTek Helio G35 chipset with an octa-core CPU and PowerVR GE8320 graphics. This is paired with 3GB RAM and 32GB storage with an option to expand the storage by using microSD card. It runs on Realme UI 1.0 which is based on Android 10.
The Realme C12 comes with a triple camera setup on the back that consists of a primary 13MP camera, a 2MP monochrome camera and a 2MP depth sensor. There is a 5MP selfie camera housed within the notch cutout on the front. The rear cameras can record in 1080P at 30FPS and are assisted by the LED flash.
There’s a fingerprint sensor on the back panel and the C12 comes equipped with a 6,000mAh battery with 10W charging speeds. It will be available in two colours– Marine Blue and Coral Red.
