Reasons to buy

OLED display with stereo speakers

The 6.67-inch FHD+ OLED display with 120Hz refresh rate on the Realme P1 5G has a peak brightness of 2,000 nits which offers a good legibility under direct sunlight. Moreover, the device sports a stereo speaker setup that enhances the multimedia experience. 

Good daylight cameras

The Realme P1 5G sports a 50MP+2MP dual camera setup. It captures photos with plenty of details and sharpness in daylight, however, the colour accuracy and HDR could have been better. 

Excellent performance

The Realme P1 5G is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 SoC, and it is one of the fastest processors in the segment. You won't encounter any lags or stutters in normal usage and it can handle graphic intensive games as well. 

Respectable battery life

The 5,000mAh battery on the Realme P1 5G performs well on the PC Mark battery test as well as our streaming and gaming test. With moderate usage, you can expect all day battery backup on a full charge. 

Reasons not to buy

Low-light photos need improvement

While the Realme P1 5G captures good photos in daylight conditions, the low-light images don't retain details and there's visible lens flare around light sources. 

Ads and pre-loaded apps

Yes, just like most other Realme smartphones, the Realme P1 5G also has a good amount of bloatware as well as ads. Fortunately, you can uninstall most of the bloatware.
