So what’s different between the two smartphones?
So both smartphones have the same display setup except for one thing — screen protection. They both have a decent viewing experience but the Realme C1 has the advantage since it comes with a Corning Gorilla Glass 3 which provides security for anyone who’s using it.
Their performance is very close to each other based on the AnTuTu scores that we had on both devices. The only difference is that the OPPO A3s comes with a larger 3GB RAM which is quite significant in terms of multi-tasking and handling of heavy applications.
Camera quality should be almost identical except for the difference in front camera resolution. The A3s comes with a higher MP value but it does not automatically mean that it performs better. Good thing that we have a video comparison that you should check out to see which one has better performance.
Battery performance is quite intriguing since they both have the same capacity but they differ significantly in our battery tests. The Realme C1 lasts longer on our video loop test, while the OPPO A3s lasted longer in the PC Mark Battery test.
Here are their prices:
What do you guys think? Would you go for the Realme C1 that has a stronger screen, longer playback time, and is more affordable? Or would you prefer the OPPO A3s that has a larger maximum RAM and storage capacity, and lasts longer with daily task executions? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

Fed De guzman says:
This helps a LOT .honestly i cant decide which one to buy a3s or c1 but after this comparison with video. I have decided to buy c1 instead of a3s…thumbs up
ligma bowles says:
a3s has the limitation of only allowing to install apps in internal mem. dont know about the c1. its a pity though as the aes can handle mobile legends with no lag for the most part. it sucks that you can only install around 3 to 4 games on it.
Rich says:
Realme has the advantage when it comes to price range with a decent spec’s it’s already one of the best you can get, for my views.
Harry Lima says:
So, basically rebranded Oppo A3s lang ang Realme C1?
Not surprising since Realme is a sub-brand ng Oppo/Vivo/OnePlus.
jobert_sucaldito says:
Yep, Realme is so so after Xiaomi’s Redmi, they didnt even try to hide it, so obvious even their name is similar to Redmi.
