Realme C3 has become costlier, now starts at Rs. 8,000
Realme has again increased the price of its entry-level smartphone, the C3, in India by Rs. 500. This is the second time the handset has received a price hike since its release in February this year. According to a company's spokesperson, the latest price revision is due to the supply shortage caused by the COVID-19 pandemic and the fluctuating Indian Rupee.
