Realme C17 price in Malaysia starts from RM688, putting a 90Hz display within reach of budget shoppers. That's the standout here: a 6.5-inch IPS LCD panel running at a smoother refresh rate than most phones in this range bother with, paired with a Snapdragon 460 chipset that handles everyday tasks and light gaming without fuss. 6GB RAM and 256GB storage give you plenty of room to work with, and there's a microSD slot if you need more.

The quad camera setup covers the basics: a 13MP main sensor, an 8MP ultrawide, plus macro and depth sensors for portrait shots. Selfies go through an 8MP front camera. Video tops out at 1080p30, so don't expect 4K here.

Battery life should hold up well thanks to the 5000mAh cell, and 18W fast charging means less time tethered to a plug. Fingerprint sensor sits on the back, there's a headphone jack still intact, and it ships running Android 10 in Navy Blue or Lake Green.
