Although Realme has not reached
much time in the smartphone market, the company has started competing in the
smartphone market. Oppo's sub-brand has made its name only after the launch of
Entry Lee and 4 smartphones at the beginning of this year. The result of the
success of these phones is that Realme has come with a new U series. Under this
series, the company has launched its first smartphone Realme U1. Its first
phone is Selfie Centric. It seems that selfie centric phones will be introduced
inside this series. We got to spend some time with this phone, know how the
starting price of Rs 11999 This phone is:
Processor: Realme U1 is the
first smartphone to come with the Helio P70 chipset. This is also the biggest
feature of the phone. Because this is the first phone to come with this
chipset. So you have to see how the processor works in the phone that comes in
the budget range. Phones coming with Helio P60 such as Realme 1, Oppo F9 Pro
and Nokia 5.1 Plus have performed well according to mid-range phones. Now to
see how the Realme U1 coming with the P70 performs well in terms of power
saving and performance. The phone has performed average in a few days' usage.
However, it is yet to be tried by using it extensively.
Design: In terms of design, the
phone seems like the same as Realme 2 Pro. The same Dewdrop Notch display has
been given on its front. Its rear panel is glossy and reflexive, which gives an
attractive look to the phone. The phone is available in 3 colors - Ambitious
Black, Brave Blue and Fiery Gold. Because of Drewdrop Notch, the phone's screen
to body ratio is up to about 90 percent, which gives full visual display
experience. It has a 6.3 inch FHD + display. Overall phone is slightly bigger
but according to me the phone is Handy. However, some people may have trouble
handling phones with one hand. The U1 has a single speaker but it gives fine
audio. 2 Nano SIM can be used in the phone. Apart from this, the phone has a
separate MicroSD card slot. The phone also has a U1 3.5mm headphone jack.
Front camera: With the
processor, the big me of Realme U1 includes its front camera. It has a 25MP
Front Facing Sensor. It is designed to give Sharp image results in any lighting
condition. In Indoor we took some selfie, which resulted in good results. Color
details in the image, sharpness was. However, there is a glimpse of
over-processing on the photos, but still we would not want to reduce the number
of front camera numbers.
Realme U1 also has a dual rear
camera on the rear. The rear camera is 13MP + 2MP. Slo-motion will also be
available in this phone which will also be available soon in Realme 2 Pro. The
video quality of its rear camera took an average of some days of use, which can
be called right by the range. However, its camera can only be said in the
detail review.
What is lacking? (Cons)
Old OS: The Company has given
the Android Orion by not giving the latest Android 9 in the phone. In this case
we have been a little disappointed. But most of the other smartphones coming in
this range are also in the same condition. Realme is providing timely updates in
its other smartphones. It is expected that this phone will also get an update
of Android 9 Pie soon.
Battery: The phone comes with
3500 mAh battery. Keeping in mind the larger display, we expected a bigger
battery. In this case the phone disappoints slightly. However, the new chip-set
helps in increasing the phone power efficiency in this case. Even if a large
battery was provided, the phone could have a good package.
Our decision: The phone is
offering quite a good offer in the budget range. With the selfie centric phone,
the device comes with a robust processor. It can be called good combination
according to the demand of the users.
