Realme C25s Pricing Details

Will It Replace The Standard Realme C25?

Realme hasn't made any major changes to the Realme C25s compared to the standard model. But, the device has an upgraded processor which would be the key takeaway. We are not yet sure if the company will pull the plugs off the Realme C25 to make space for the Realme C25s.

It appears that the company wants to give users more range of choices in the budget segment. A marginal difference in the pricing of both variants might let users go for the tweaked variant.

This might have some impact on the standard model's sale. That's what we think. Unless the company confirms all the details, we can't be sure of any such development.
