Rear camera
The RealMe 1 comes with a 13MP single shooter with f/2.2 aperture size. While all the budget smartphones are providing dual cameras, the Real Me 1 is courageous enough to release a smartphone with a single camera and no “fingerprint sensor” in “2018”. The smartphone comes with almost all camera features which you need on today’s camera smartphones like portrait mode, Beauty mode and more. First, let’s check out the rear camera samples and see if the camera is enough to compete with the dual camera in competitors. The daylight photography turns out quite significant with a lot of detail and a little bit of blur in the background. The Portrait mode is also pretty impressive, the bokeh effect is not that great, but overall the camera quality is fantastic even in low light conditions.
Selfie camera
The selfie camera in Oppo RealMe 1 is an 8MP sensor with the same f/2.2 aperture size which is not that great for low light photography. The selfies in daylight condition are excellent; the artificial light selfies are also not problematic at all. The camera doesn’t provide any blurring in the background in selfies, but overall the pictures came out great.
Performance
The Oppo RealMe 1 comes with an Helio P60 processor which is clocked at 2.0 GHz; it includes four Cortex A73 cores and four Cortex A53 cores, all the cores are clocked at 2.0 GHz. For multitasking, the smartphone comes with 4GB RAM (3GB and 6GB version also available) and 64GB internal memory (128GB and 32G variants also available) which is expandable via MicroSD card up to 256GB. The smartphone doesn’t stutter at any point in the user interface or while launching any apps; the multitasking is also smooth and seamless.
The gaming is also very smooth, the PUBG Mobile game is running in medium graphics, but the game didn’t show any lag or frame drop whatsoever. Overall the performance is fantastic, you can look at the benchmark scores of the smartphone.
Conclusion
The Oppo RealMe 1 smartphone is a good deal in the budget segment if you are planning on buying one.
