Realme India has tweeted:



Realme has said that the U1 will be powered by MediaTek Helio P70 processor. The Helio P70 chipset comes with CPU (central processing unit) and GPU (graphics processing unit) upgrades for more powerful AI processing, and also brings upgraded imaging and camera support, a gaming performance boost and advanced connectivity features.


Helio P70's enhanced AI engine delivers a 10 to 30 percent AI processing boost compared to the Helio P60. Helio P70 comes with a 4G LTE modem and 300MBit/s (megabit per second) of download performance.


Media reports say that the Realme U1 may be priced upto Rs 15,000 in the country.


In the wake of the depreciating rupee and rising input costs, Realme increased the prices of its two popular budget handsets in India earlier this month. The Rs 6,999 Realme C1 is now priced at Rs 7,999 while Rs 8,990 Realme 2 (3GB variant) is priced at Rs 9,499.


Born as OPPO's sub-brand, Realme is now an independent brand targeting at global youth with an "India-first" approach.


In July, the company had announced that it is separating from OPPO to become a distinct entity and will be headed by Sky Li, former senior executive and head of OPPO India.
