Happy New Year 2023 to all of you!

How fast?! Where did 2022 go? It’s 2023 now! Today is the second day of 2023 already. In 20 days’ time, the Lunar New Year will be coming. I will be busy baking and making some new year’s goodies these few weeks.

2022 was well… I don’t know… It’s too fast for me to process. What’s most important is that I’ve got through the year peacefully. I do not reflect too. What’s done is done. Move on!

There won’t be resolutions for 2023. I don’t do any. I will go with the flow and act accordingly. Why stress yourself with all those resolutions? *shrug* Most important is having an uneventful life. Peaceful, quiet, and healthy.

Just a quick post today.

Here’s my post on Instagram yesterday haha… These photos were taken with Realme C35 “smile shutter” feature. It’s pretty fun. Save so much time on selfies. I did do post-processing with AirBrush app.

Once again, wishing you a blessed new year!

Realme C35 Unbox, Camera Test, Quick Review

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Realme C35 Unbox, Camera Test, Quick Review

If you’ve been following me on my social media accounts, you would know that I’ve gotten myself a new phone last month. It’s a Realme C35 (6GB + 128GB ROM). It costs RM799. Initially, I wanted to get a Realme 9 (6GB) but too bad no stock. I’ve been using it for over a month now. In this post, I’ll give you a quick review of it.

Camera Quick Test

The photo quality isn’t bad. At least better than my old phone. The 50MP AI Camera sure helps.

However, I dislike the colour profile of the video in certain lighting conditions. The most obvious is if I do my cooking video with the natural lighting in the kitchen. It’s very pastel and dull. Still prefer Huawei’s. Here’s the first full video I did with it. You can compare my other cooking videos with this one.

Aside from that, I dislike it does not have a beauty filter feature for Video mode whether for the front or back cameras. I thought this feature is very common to have because my old phone has it and it’s even cheaper than this.

Oh well… What can you ask for with such a price? It’s acceptable to have such shortcomings. You can’t have everything.

Don’t even talk about stabilizer for the camera haha… It’s impossible to have it for such a price. That is too much to ask for LOL!!

Saving Photos/Videos to External MicroSD Card

I did encounter a problem with configuring the phone to save photos/videos to the external microSD card. Tried looking for solutions online but found nothing. In case you are having this problem too, do check out the post I did last month, Realme C35 – How to Save Photos/Videos to SD Card . However, not all apps have the option to save the files to the microSD card. It’s OK. As long those from the camera go to the card will do.

Overall Quick Review

After using it for over a month and having gone to Singapore with me, I would say that it is not a bad phone at all with a price of less than RM800. It performed better than expected. At least for my usage.

The battery usage is up to its claim. It could last me more than 36 hours or even longer if I hardly use it. For my daily usage, I’m not a heavy user as I spend more time on my computer than the phone, I will still have at least 50% remaining after the last charge over 18 hours ago.

If I’m using it heavily for content creation (Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Capcut, XHS, photo editing), it will roughly drain 10% to 20% of the battery’s life. Usually, I will spend about 1 to 2 hours on it.

Well, this is a new phone, the battery should be able to last long. If it doesn’t then there’s definitely a problem with the battery and you will need to bring it back to the shop.

Meanwhile, for the processing power, so far so good too. Not lagging and I don’t have many apps installed anyway.

In conclusion, it is good enough for my usage and the price is within my budget. It did exceed my expectations. Not too bad.

Where to Get?

You can get the Realme C35 (4GB RAM + 64GB ROM) here in Shopee (https://invle.co/clen7pc). Mine is 6GB + 128GB ROM which you can find easily in physical mobile phone shops. While the SD card I’m using is SanDisk Ultra microSDXC USH-I 128GB (https://invle.co/clen7y8)

Realme C35 – How to Save Photos/Videos to SD Card

Posted on By sweet surrender 1 Comment on Realme C35 – How to Save Photos/Videos to SD Card

Took me hours to finally figure out how to save photos/videos taken with Realme C35 camera to SD Card. I’m going to tell you how to do it in this post. I couldn’t find any solution online. If you are facing the same issue, this might help.

Realme C35 How to Save Photos/Videos to SD Card

It is actually very easy and straightforward. Insert the SD card and then switch on your phone. Follow the instructions on the screen. It will ask you to format it. Then you need to set it up.

How to do it?

On the setup page, there are two options. Namely, “Phone Storage” and “Portable Storage“. Choose “Portable Storage“.

I actually don’t quite remember the exact terms used in the setup page but “Portable” is the keyword!

Then you will be able to find it in “Settings” > “Storage” (refer to the image below)

After that, remember to go to “Camera settings” and change the “Storage Path” to “SD Card“.

Do note that this is only applicable for storing photos or videos you took with your camera. Any photos or videos saved or downloaded from other apps such as WhatsApp, Facebook, TikTok, websites, etc will not go into the SD card. I can’t find the global setting for it. You might have to set each of them one by one.

There you go. As simple as that! Why it took me ages? That was because I kept choosing the “Phone Storage” option.

If you did follow me on my Instagram and/or Facebook, you will know that I finally got myself a new phone after 4 years of using Huawei Nova 2 Lite. Will share about it once I’ve completed the video editing.
