On May 25, 2018, the brand released its first phone, the Realme 1. If you are not familiar with this phone, it could be a loss because considering the Realme 1 mobile specification in the mid-range segment, this phone is a good choice.

The Realme 1 impresses from the moment we touch its box, which is made of thick cardboard, making it not feel like a mid-range phone at all. Realme 1 accessories that come in the box include a transparent plastic phone case, a standard wall charger, and a microUSB cable.

Realme 1 screen resolution is 1080 x 2160 with 18:9 ratio and a density of 402 ppi. To protect the phone display, the company makes use of Corning Gorilla Glass 3.

Remember that we’re looking at a mid-range smartphone, and you’ll see that this chip is quite upper-level to feature on this device. It not only uses the efficient 12nm fabrication process from TSMC, but its eight chips all show high performance with high benchmark scores registered in several tests, compared with other handsets in this segment.

Realme 1 32GB, Realme 1 64GB, And Realme 1 128GB

Talking about Realme 1 specification memory, the device has a dedicated card slot for a microSD card of up to 256GB. The smartphone comes with three internal variants, the Realme 1 3GB RAM offers 32GB memory, the Realme 1 4GB offers 64GB memory, and the Realme 1 6GB RAM offers 128 GB memory.

Realme 1 Camera Features

Now, OPPO Realme 1 specification continues. There are a total of two cameras in the Realme 1 camera specification, including a single main cam and a single selfie cam.

The rear camera comes with a LED flash, supports panorama, HDR mode, as well as 1080-pixel videos at 30 frames per second. On the front, Realme 1 sensors is 8MP (f/2.2).

Apparently, we cannot expect high-quality images from a phone at a budget price, but we can safely say that the cameras do the best job they can. The phone produces images with plenty of details, the noise-suppression is efficient, and the colors are nice. However, there are certain issues, such as a low dynamic range, over-sharpening, and softness around the corners.

In addition, the HDR mode appears to work well in the camera app, it's not too extremes while helping rescue certain details and highlights. And the auto mode jumps in when it's needed. Users are recommended to leave the HDR mode auto.

The Super Vivid mode works a bit differently by going through the standard HDR procedure and boosting colors. The effect is most easily seen in blue shades. Plus, a slight shadow effect seems to appear in the edge of the images.

In terms of Panorama photos, they seem nice and detailed, showing a great deal of resolution as well as resolved detail. Especially, there seems to be no stitching. Despite having just a single rear camera, the phone is still capable of blurring the background for portrait photos. However, the front camera appears to do a better job in this than the main one.

Selfies, this is something OPPO has been working on for years to improve, hence its reputation for this kind of shots. However, it only puts the best game in the F-series, the Realme 1, as a mid-range product, doesn't get to share much of the aspiration. Nevertheless, it still does an adequate job and we cannot complain much.
