Watch the Realme U1 review video (Hindi)
Realme U1 looks great, premium, however the glass type back after a long period of time will attract scratches and the handset after few months will not look that premium. Hence makes sense to use a silicon case or any other case to protect the handset right from the day you are using it.
Realme U1 is using MediaTek Helio P70 octa core chipset that does a really good job, especially when you play PUBG game you are going to enjoy the overall gaming experience. This handset features a 6.3 inch screen with duedrop notch that looks pretty good.
Do check the Realme U1 review video, in that video I have also done a brief comparison of the Realme U1 vs Redmi Note 6 Pro, do check the camera samples too.
In general the Realme U1 is more powerful but when it comes to camera and battery life then the Redmi Note 6 Pro does a better job.
The 3500 mAh battery on a full charge will give you one to one and a half days of battery life. There is no LED notification, sound is loud and clear. I got antutu score of around 1,43,000. U1 does heatup but heat buildup is under control.
