Oppo Realme 1 review

28 May 2018
The 2018 budget smartphone scene is an unforgiving battlefield. It's a place not too many manufacturers are willing to go to and Oppo, for sure, hasn't gone down so low on the price scale up so far. The Realme 1 is Oppo's first device in a brand new ultra-budget line and it's nothing short of a loud and flamboyant show of power. Potentially even a declaration of war.

      It's NC but let's see the result as the time goes ......

        YoloBS, 29 May 2018Does this phone have led notification?No, it does not. It's mentioned in the Cons section, in the conclusion.

          Piphacker, 29 May 2018Poor & Dull display is a trade mark of Oppo Thats why... moreUseless camera and build quality is home to xiaomi... thats why i buy nokia !

            Athull, 29 May 2018U must mean SD 636? 630 is nothing but a higher clocked 625... moreyes. but the 636 would increase price by about 12$ instead of just 5$. and then the RN5P will be more of an optional thinking. than the imaginary RealMe 1 I had in my mind.

                      They might be selling at cost with no profit. But how many units? No one knows.. atleast xiaomi sells in hundreds of thousands we know. And on amazon oppo is marketing tge 6gb variant of realme 1. Which is at inr 14k . So they are making profit out of the 6gb variant. The 3gb variant is only for show i guess

                        Does this phone have led notification?

                          MG7, 28 May 2018oppo f7 with similar battery, larger screen and same chipse... moreSometimes inferior components paired with same good SOC can give average battery compared to oppo f7 which has higher grade components which are more efficient and better optimized by oppo, realme 1 is an experimental device at best to make budget buyers talk about thier brand for future sales , some of these realme customers might end up buying higher range oppo phones in futures slowly making them brand loyal, it is all psychology and marketing behavior combined.

                            Thats why im a big fan of Xiaomi cuz MiA1 is king of Mid range devices

                                I found it strange that when u r testing the 6GB 128GB version which costs $200 u were comparing it to Redmi Note 5 Plus instead of Note 5 Pro. U said in the performance section that Note 5 Pro costs twice as much but in truth 4GB/64GB version of Note 5 Pro is $220 so it's only fair game to comapre that to the version u tested.

                                    Xiaomi anuna??

                                    In English:

                                    What's now, Xiaomi??

                                    On a more serious note,

                                    Oppo's ability to offer a Helio P60 at this price point should give Xiaomi also the capability to offer at least a SnapDragon 636 for a slightly higher price tag with their Redmi 5 Plus.
