Chipset
The Realme C3 is equipped with MediaTek’s recently released Helio G70 chipset, which offers users respectable performance for the price. It managed to score 181,968 in the AnTuTu V8 benchmark in our review.

While AnTuTu is not the be-all-end-all of performance, it’s an excellent indicator nonetheless. Stay tuned for our Y6p review to see how well it does in our testing.

The Huawei Y6p is equipped with a 13 MP primary shooter accompanied by a 5MP ultra-wide and 2MP depth sensor. Meanwhile, the Realme C3 is equipped with a 12MP primary shooter accompanied by a 2MP portrait and a 2MP macro lens.

As per usual, the megapixel count is not the sole indicator of a smartphone’s camera quality. Check out and compare sample photos from our Huawei Y6p Hands-On and Realme C3 review and decide which phone is capable of producing better photos. We do, however, think that the Huawei Y6p is more versatile thanks to its inclusion of an ultra-wide-angle camera.
Connectivity & Other Features
Both devices offer similar connectivity and other features to users. They both can connect to via 4G LTE, WiFi 3, Bluetooth 5, and similar GPS services.
Biometrics are also similar, with both devices capable of unlocking the device via rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and face unlock.
Both devices also have a 3.5mm audio jack, supports reverse charging, and charge via Micro USB.
OS & Battery
Out of the box, the Huawei Y6p runs on EMUI 10.1, and Realme C3 runs on Realme UI, both of which are based on Android 10. An important thing to take note is that the Huawei Y6p does not come with Google Mobile Services, and instead use Huawei’s own Mobile Services.
Powering both devices is a 5,000mAh battery.
Price & Conclusion
Both the Huawei Y6p and Realme C3 are available for PHP 5,990. Given the current rundown on specs, the choice between the devices falls on the type of smartphone users you are. If you enjoy playing games such as Mobile Legends, PUBG Mobile, and COD Mobile, you’d want to go with the more powerful Realme C3 as it will be able to provide you with smoother framerates.
However, if you work on your phone and do a little bit of photography on the side, then Huawei Y6p would be the better choice thanks to its higher camera resolutions, and more storage. The extra bit of RAM will also help users switching between apps when multitasking.
However, do take note that you won’t have Google Mobile Services, and you won’t have some functionality until they’re added to Huawei’s Mobile Services.
