realme U1 3GB RAM Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ketaki Bhojnagarwala]()
Verdict
The Realme U1 is one of the most well-rounded smartphones you can buy at its asking price. It ticks most boxes for me, and doesn`t have any serious downsides, barring ColorOS, which I`m not a fan of. Predictably, Realme is positioning the U1 as a competitor to Xiaomi`s Redmi Y2 (review). Other notable rivals include the Honor 8C (first impressions), ASUS ZenFone Max Pro M1 (review) and Xiaomi Redmi 6 Pro (review). While you might opt for a different phone based purely on brand preference, if it`
Pros
- Premium design
- Good cameras
- Excellent battery life
Cons
- Screen struggles in sunlight
- ColorOS is packed with bloatware
- Face unlock doesn`t work in the dark

The Realme U1 is a selfie-focussed smartphone, and to that end, is fitted with a 25MP front camera with f/2.0 aperture. There's no front-facing LED, but you do get a screen flash for illumination. The front camera can also create a software-generated depth effect. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of photos from the selfie camera, which turned out well even in low light or when there was harsh backlighting. Images are clear with natural skin tones, and while I disabled the AI beauty mode, you can enable it if you prefer. The depth effect doesn't over-blur the background either, so images look realistic.
