The war for creating budget smartphones in Pakistan is something that has been going on for a while now and big companies across the world have attempted to create such phones. Considering the dynamics of the Pakistani mobile market, budget smartphones are the way to go. Oppo’s Realme 1 was set to release in Pakistan on the 10th of September and it has not disappointed. Realme 1 is Oppo’s first phone in an all new line of budget smartphones (under 15,000) and is honestly one of the handiest, beautiful phone you can have in that price range.

Build:

Although the phone has a plastic body which can be discouraged by some people, it has a full glass material at the back. This gives the Oppo Realme 1 a fashionable and aesthetic look. The phone weighs around 168 grams with the dimensions of 6.15 x 2.98 x 0.32 inches.

Screen and Display:

For a phone at this price, 6.2 inches of FULLHD+, IPS LCD display is not bad at all, right? The Oppo Realme 1 is one of the most sleek and beautiful looking smartphones in the market at this price, hell it's even fancier than some devices available at twice the price.  The screen aspect ratio is sensational and sits at 18:9. The battery is a massive 3410mAh and offers a substantial amount of screen time to users. With this battery, it aims to compete with the major players of this price range and frankly Oppo Realme 1 outruns other phones. The Screen is protected by Corning Gorrila Glass 3 which is absolutely amazing in this price range.

Camera:

The strongest part of any Oppo phone is expected to be the Camera and such is the case with Realme 1. As usual, Oppo does not disappoint its regular customers and offers a staggering 13MP Rear camera and 8MP front camera for all the selfie enthusiasts.

Hardware:

The phone comes with 16 GB of storage but with a dedicated SD Card slot up to 256 GB of storage. The Phone's RAM is 2GB but users do not complain about  long delays. It's probably due to the fact that the processor is Octa-Core 1.8 Ghz Cortex A-53.

• Budget Friendly
• Exciting Features for such a price
• Camera results
• Battery time

Cons:

• Plastic Body
• No Fingerprint reader
• Video Capture limited to 1080x30 fps
