Our Take
If we consider the pricing then there is hardly any difference in the pricing of all the three devices. But if you need a phone with better cameras then the newly launched Redmi 8A Dual is a better option as it offers a 13-megapixel primary sensor and a 2-megapixel secondary sensor. But Realme C3 comes with a larger display than the other two Redmi phones.
