Realme P1 Speed 5G Review: specs and features, camera quality test, gaming benchmark, user opinions and photos

Realme P1 Speed ​​5G - savings that not everyone will appreciate

Developing each smartphone from scratch is an impossible task even for market leaders. That is why even the Chinese company Realme often releases essentially different modifications of the same phone with different technical characteristics. The hero of today's review is aimed at the boundary between the lower and middle price segments, in order to reduce the cost, the manufacturer had to make serious compromises. Will the audience like the final version?

The appearance of the new product is more than good. The original colors of the rear panels, coupled with the signature round camera block, make the unit look more expensive than its price tag. Of course, this effect is also created due to the thin frames of the screen with a fingerprint scanner installed in it. The 6.67-inch AMOLED display has no obvious flaws. The picture remains clear at FullHD+ resolution, it is extremely smooth at a 120 Hz refresh rate. The peak brightness reaches 2000 nits, so working with a mobile assistant in direct sunlight is quite possible. Color rendering is not bad, there is also an oleophobic coating, although not the most effective.

The MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor is a new chipset with support for 5G networks, which, together with 8GB/12GB of RAM and a Mali G615MC2 video adapter, scores about 650 thousand points in the AnTuTu test. Excellent energy efficiency also leads to the absence of throttling, thanks to which even the resource-intensive Genshin Impact can be played for several hours in a row. True, the graphic settings will have to be limited to medium-high presets. The 5000 mAh battery will ask you to look for the nearest sockets once every day and a half. Fast charging at 45W helps to get 100% of the capacity in 50-60 minutes. The presence of a microSD card slot, which allows you to increase the stock 128/256 GB of ROM, is pleasing.

Where the device has problems is in the area of ​​photographic capabilities. A simple main 50-megapixel photo module without optical stabilization and a virtually useless two-megapixel portrait sensor hint that it will not be possible to take a high-quality evening photo. And daytime photo sessions of dynamic objects will be disappointing with blurs. There is no stereo sound, and they also saved on a jack for wired headphones. There is also no NFC contactless payments, which will disappoint people who often visit hypermarkets. Thus, the device is sometimes very compromised, which is why it is not possible to definitely recommend it for purchase.
