Earlier this month, Realme launched the Realme C71 in Asia. Now, the brand has brought the C71 to Europe, but it’s not the same phone. The European model comes with some noticeable differences in specs compared to the Asian version. So, let’s take a closer look at what’s similar, what’s different, and what it means for users on both sides.
Difference
The first noticeable difference between the Asian and European models is the RAM ROM variant. The European model is paired with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The Asian model paired 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage.
The second difference is the battery capacity. The European model powers up a 6000mAh battery; on the other hand, the Asian model powers up a 6300mAh battery. Here, that’s a 300mAh difference, which might not seem huge but could impact overall battery life for power users.
Similarities
Both the Asian and European models of the Realme C71 share many common features. They come with a 6.67-inch HD+ IPS LCD that supports a smooth 120Hz high refresh rate, making scrolling feel more fluid. On the software side, both models run Android 15 with Realme UI 6.0 out of the box.
The phone is powered by the Unisoc T250 chipset, which is an entry-level processor aimed at delivering basic performance for everyday tasks.
In the camera sector, the Realme C71 features a 50MP main rear camera and a 5MP front-facing selfie camera. It also includes an LED ring light, which uses a notification alert and charging indicator.
For security, users get a side-mounted fingerprint sensor along with software-based face unlock. The phone is also MIL-STD-810H certified, offering resistance to drops from up to 1.5 meters, adding a layer of durability.
As for design, it’s available in two stylish color options: Forest Owl and White Swan. In terms of pricing, the Realme C71 is competitively positioned at around $180 or €150 for the 8GB RAM and 256GB storage variant.
