Editorial report

Realme U1 technical sheet

The Realme U1 may suit buyers looking for a straightforward everyday phone, but its 10 W charging is slower than that of most phones of its time. The battery capacity is 3,500 mAh; the main compromise is the charging rate.

Its 6.3-inch IPS LCD display has a density of 409 ppi, higher than that of most phones launched around the same time. The 83.9% screen-to-body ratio is also better than most, and the phone weighs 168 g. The AnTuTu v7 result of 144,436 is above average for its time, although the overall performance and hardware picture is slightly below average. It has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, with support for a memory card up to 256 GB.

The 13 MP camera’s f/2.2 aperture is among the weakest of its time, and the camera has no optical image stabilization. Connectivity is worse than that of most phones launched around the same time. The U1 includes Dual Nano-SIM, Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 4.2 and a 3.5 mm audio jack. With a NeoScore of 3.5, the Realme U1 is best suited to buyers who value a sharp display and everyday essentials, and can accept slow charging and a modest camera.
