I can see consumers turning the box for the EPOS GSX 300 over and wondering why they might need such a device.

For a budget smartphone, Realme’s C3 sure looks tempting. It’s Blazing Red colourway is a reliable head-turner with its richly textured ribbed finish and ability to shrug of fingerprints like a pro.
