Is the bigger battery worth buying as something useful?

Although the Realme C73 has a big selling point with its 6000mAh battery, the battery is roughly a 10% upgrade from the C21’s 5700mAh cell.

In general, what plays a bigger role in daily happiness are the phone’s speed, screen quality, camera and charging speed.

Actually, the upgrade is minimal, so when deciding, users ought to look at the whole device, since the display, camera, software and charging are important as well. It is still a good budget 5G phone, but the battery alone will not make a big difference.
