Price last checked: 13 Sept 2021. Confirm current price before buying.
Realme 1 price in Malaysia starts from RM501, putting it firmly in budget territory. Under the hood is a Mediatek Helio P60 chipset paired with a Mali-G72 MP3 GPU, and you can pick between 3GB, 4GB, or 6GB RAM configurations, with storage topping out at 128GB. There's also a dedicated microSD slot for up to 256GB more, so storage won't be a constant worry. The 6.0-inch IPS LCD runs at 1080 x 2160 with an 18:9 ratio, giving decent sharpness at around 402 ppi for the price.
Camera-wise, it sticks to a single 13MP rear shooter with PDAF and an 8MP front camera, enough for casual shooting rather than anything ambitious. The 3410 mAh battery is on the modest side by today's standards, though the phone's 155g weight and 7.8mm thickness keep it easy to carry. It ships with Android 8.1 Oreo under ColorOS 5.0, which is dated now but was current at launch in May 2018.
