Here are the advantages of each smartphone:
- Larger RAM
- Larger storage
- Faster file writing speed
- Better performing CPU (single-core)
- Wider rear camera aperture
- Higher front camera resolution
- Android Pie 9.0 out-of-the-box
- Slightly larger screen size
- Corning Gorilla Glass 3
- Better performing CPU (multi-core)
- Better performing GPU
- Larger battery capacity
- Longer lasting battery life
- Slightly affordable price
Display-wise, both of them have good screen sizes and aspect ratios, but the Realme C1 comes out on top by a little bit, having a slightly bigger size.
Based on the benchmark scores, the Y6 Pro 2019 carrying a MediaTek MT6761 chipset has a better performance in terms of single-task processes, but that’s about it. The Realme C1 overwhelms the former in terms of better multi-tasking processes and gaming capabilities (check AnTuTu and 3DMark scores). However, the former comes with a larger 3GB of RAM as compared with the latter’s 2GB, which could be pivotal in your gaming experience. While I do understand that the Realme C1 has a 3GB RAM variant, I think it’s not worth getting, since the price jump is high.
The good thing about the Y6 Pro 2019 is that it has a more ample amount of internal storage which is always good especially when you want to have more files stored on the phone. Another advantage is that its write speed is significantly faster than the Realme C1.
The Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 has the same main rear camera resolution as the Realme C1, but it has a wider aperture giving way to better low-light photos with faster and more accurate autofocus. The former’s front camera has higher front camera resolution with a wider aperture than the latter.
In terms of battery performance, the Realme C1 is the clear winner due to its significantly longer-lasting battery life. The Realme C1’s 4,230mAh simply outclasses the Y6 Pro 2019’s 3,020mAh battery. Who doesn’t want a smartphone that can last up to 24 hours when watching videos, right?
If you are into a larger RAM, storage, better camera capabilities, and Android 9 Pie out-of-the-box, then go with the Y6 Pro 2019. However, if you are more into performance and gaming capabilities with long-lasting battery life, go with the Realme C1.
The Huawei Y6 Pro 2019 is priced at PHP 6,990 while the Realme C1 has a PHP 5,990 price. What do you guys think? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.
