Realme U1 Unboxing and 1st impression: Price on Target, UI off target

The Realme U1 features a “Drop Notch” similar to a teardrop notch found on the Realme 2 Pro. With the inclusion of the Helio P70, the U1 is betting big on AI capabilities.

The Helio P70 was unveiled by MediaTek last month, as a successor to the Helio P60 SoC with advanced AI capabilities, support for better cameras, faster data connectivity, an overall improvement in performance and battery consumption. The chipset is based on the latest TSMC 12nm FinFET production process and offers 13 percent better performance, support for taller 20:9 Full HD+ displays at a resolution of 2160 x 1080 pixels, a 3X boost in depth-mapping performance and 90fps video recording at 16 megapixels.
