First, I was genuinely excited about this phone because for the first time in a long time I’m working with a totally new brand. I have tonnes of reviews on this site but the biggest percentage of them are upgrades and next series of something I have already done before. Realme is a new entrant into the Kenyan market and so not only was I unboxing a shiny new thing, but one that I have not worked on before.
A shiny new gadget is not all that was exciting me. I’m not that fickle :-D. I’m also really exited by the fact that this phone is really a beauty to look at. My unit came in mint green and realme has a unique back cover, camera positioning and branding. First impressions upon unboxing is that it is a well thought out design and a conversation starter.
For this article I will not be saying a whole lot because I’m still using the phone and I intend to do a comprehensive review in a bit where we talk about the features more in-depth. For now, we unbox this beauty. A what’s in the box kinda thing. I’m working from outside Nairobi at the moment and the agency was kind enough to courier the phone to my local G4S office.
Shall we?
I find the welcome message quite endearing
“Let’s embrace the a new journey together”. Also quite endearing and welcoming.
I’ve started using the phone here and there and the first thing I did was to go on a walk about to a nearby hotel to take some photos.
Realme C11 is retailing for Ksh.9,999/-. It is therefore pretty much an entry level phone with a friendly price and so to be fair, expectations should be kept at a certain level.
See you in the next article where I post which is a purely photographic journey of the phone.
Meanwhile, some love from my social media people…
