Budget shoppers will find the Unisoc T610 chipset paired with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage here, enough for everyday apps and basic multitasking without much fuss. The 6.5-inch IPS LCD runs at 720 x 1600 resolution, which keeps things simple but functional for browsing, messaging, and video playback. A rear fingerprint sensor handles unlocking duties since there's no in-display option at this price.

The triple camera setup leads with a 13MP main sensor and PDAF, joined by 2MP macro and depth lenses for basic background blur shots. Selfies come from a 5MP front camera capped at 1080p video, matching the rear's video ceiling. Battery life should hold up well thanks to the 5000mAh cell, and there's reverse charging if you need to power another device in a pinch.

realme C21Y price in Malaysia starts from RM399, positioning it as an entry-level pick for anyone who wants long battery life and a spare microSD slot without stretching the budget.
