Realme has sent out media invites for the launch of its new C series smartphones, which will be unveiled on April 8. The new devices will be launched digitally on the company’s official social media accounts on Twitter, Facebook and YouTube.

This includes the Realme C20, Realme C21 and the Realme C25.

The Realme C25 will focus on performance and battery life. As with all previous Realme C series smartphones, all three of these devices should be priced under Rs 10,000.
