Verdict

Priced at Rs 13,990 for the 6GB RAM variant, OPPO`s new Realme 1 seems like a handset that could have been a great option in the affordable segment, but falls short slightly, especially in the camera department. As we now have smartphones like Xiaomi`s Redmi Note 5 Pro (review) and the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 (review) in the same price range, we feel that OPPO can sort out some basic shortcomings with the Realme 1, possibly via software updates.

Priced at Rs 13,990 for the 6GB RAM variant, OPPO`s new Realme 1 seems like a handset that could have been a great option in the affordable segment, but falls short slightly, especially in the camera department. As we now have smartphones like Xiaomi`s Redmi Note 5 Pro (review) and the ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 (review) in the same price range, we feel that OPPO can sort out some basic shortcomings with the Realme 1, possibly via software updates. The new phone is still worth considering if you`re in the marked for an affordably-priced daily driver that looks stylish and helps you turn heads wherever you go.

    Pros

  • Brilliant diamond-cut pattern
  • Powerful performance
  • Decent battery life

    Cons

  • Camera performance
  • Display brightness
Design and Display +

Without a shadow of a doubt, the Diamond Black pattern at the back of Realme 1 is an eye-catcher. The glass back is definitely a fingerprint magnet but the handset manages to stand out from the flood of smartphones that feature metallic backs. The Realme 1, despite its large screen size, is easy to hold even with one hand. The volume rocker and power button are conveniently placed on the right side of the handset while the SIM slot is at the left side of the smartphone. The rear camera setup is placed on the top left at the rear and notably, the fingerprint sensor and home button are absent on the Realme 1. The 3.5mm headphone jack is placed beside the bottom-firing speakers and micro-USB charging port.

If we talk about optics on the new offering by OPPO, the Realme 1 comes with a single 13-megapixel rear-facing primary camera and an 8-megapixel selfie shooter. In the default camera app, users get various options including the option to shoot time-lapse videos, and clicking pictures with stickers or in panorama and expert modes. In the expert mode, users get to adjust ISO and shutter speed to click pictures. You can click pictures with a timer as well as in HDR mode. In our testing, we found that the handset managed to click decent pictures in outdoor conditions with apt lighting conditions, though the images clicked by both rear and front cameras lacked detail. The pictures clicked by the rear camera seemed soft as soon as we zoomed into them for a closer look. Again low-light pictures looked good as long as we did not zoom into them, for the lack of details.

Software and Performance +

OPPO's new smartphone is powered by MediaTek MT6771 Helio P60 processor coupled with 6GB of RAM. As you might have guessed from the specs on paper, the handset packs in a lot of horsepower. The Realme 1 managed to run most apps and games on the Google Play store with ease and even multitasking did not pose any problems for the smartphone. Thanks to OPPO Game Acceleration, the company claims that the handset can optimise the display configuration to fully utilise the hardware resources. However, the best feature that comes along with OPPO Game Acceleration is that users can block banner notifications and sound alerts while playing games. We faced some heating issues while playing particularly demanding games but nothing too concerning.

Battery +

In our HD loop video test, the Realme 1, which houses a respectable 3,410mAh battery, managed to last 15 hours. This test involves running an HD video on loop till the smartphone's battery percentage drops from 100 percent to 0, and logging the time. As per the performance of the battery, it is safe to say that Realme 1 can easily last a day on a single charge. It is also worth noting that the handset retains battery in an efficient manner in standby mode.
