Earlier today in a partnership with Amazon India, OPPO has launched “Realme 1”, the first phone under its new sub-brand “Realme”. The Realme brand targets the Indian youth and focuses on online buyers who buy products through eCommerce channels. The Realme devices are ‘Made in India’ that aim to offer high-quality smartphones in the sub-Rs. 15000 price range. Speaking of Realme 1, it features a diamond black design that resembles the glossy diamond-cut pattern as seen on the Oppo F7 and Oppo A3. However, there is no presence of the notch on Realme 1 unlike the duo offerings from OPPO.
Realme 1 specifications
The Realme 1 features a glossy back and patterns of different sizes that produce a diamond-like effect as the light reflects from different angles. It sports a 6-inch Full HD+ IPS display with a resolution of 2160 by 1080 pixels and a screen-to-body ratio of around 85%. The device is powered by an Octa-Core MediaTek Helio P60 12nm processor clocked up to 2GHz and runs on ColorOS 5.0 based on Android 8.1 Oreo.

The storage can be further expanded up to 256GB using a dedicated microSD card slot.
The device packs a 13MP rear camera with LED flash and an 8MP front camera for selfies, both with an f/2.2 aperture. The rear shooter features AI Scene Recognition while AR Sticker function is supported by both the front and rear camera. The integrated Face Unlock feature is said to unlock the phone in 0.1 seconds but it lacks a fingerprint sensor.
In terms of connectivity, there is dual 4G VoLTE support (nano + nano-SIM), dual-band WiFi 802.11 ac, Bluetooth 4.2, and GPS. It comes equipped with a 3410mAh battery. Measuring 7.8mm in thickness, the phone weighs 158g.
