The Realme C30s have now joined the Realme C30, which debuted in June. The S variant adds a new processor and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, but otherwise the phones are fairly similar, sharing the same cameras, displays, and user interface.
The Realme C30s is powered by the Unisoc platform SC9863A. It has eight CPU cores, all of them Cortex-A55, split into two clusters – four performance units at 1.6 GHz, and the rest for efficiency at 1.2 GHz. There are two memory options – 2/32 GB and 4/64 GB.
The predecessor Realme C30 had no fingerprint scanner, but C30s has one on its power key on the right-hand side, just below the volume rocker. The front retains the 6.5” LCD with HD+ resolution and the waterdrop notch for the 5MP selfie camera. The main shooter on the back is also unchanged – 8MP.
The C30s comes with a basic Realme UI, based on Android 12 (Go edition) that is for affordable devices. It still packs a massive 5,000 mAh battery, charged through a microUSB port on the bottom. There is also a 3.5mm audio jack, while the tray on the left has room for two SIM cards and a microSD card.
The Realme C30s is available in Blue and Black, and depending on the storage, it costs either INR7,499 ($95) or INR8,999 ($113). On September 23, the firm website will start accepting orders.
