It sits between the Realme 2 and Realme 2 Pro
After appearing in several teasers and leaks, Realme formally unwraps the Realme U1 in India. While it has the rear cameras of the Realme 2 and the front display of the Realme 2 Pro, the Realme U1’s main selling feature is its selfie-centric 25-megapixel front camera and an Helio P70 processor—the first phone to be powered by MediaTek’s latest mid-range processor.
The Realme’s front camera rings a bell, as it is the same module used on the OPPO F7, F9, and R17 Pro.
