Design and Display
You can be rest assured that the Oppo Realme 1 is a fine smartphone with premium build and exquisite design. Designed with a nice glass finish on both side and the diamond back pattern, the Oppo Realme 1 has a stunning appearance and would surely get attention. It also comes with minimal bezels which makes the screen all the more attractive. However, it can be quite a smudge center over time.
Moving on to display on this smartphone, I would say this is a standard crisp display right here and also large too. Fitting a 6.0-inch screen into this smartphone is a nice view alongside the 2160 X 1080 pixels stretched over it. It appears to have enough brightness to make viewing outside quite clear enough and boast of a 402 ppi.

Photography is taken care of by an average sensor on both sides of the smartphone. A 13MP camera at the back takes nice pictures with field depth, portrait effect as well as AR stickers. You will be shooting selfies with an 8MP camera with some of the modes mentioned above also available.
