Yesterday, Realme slashed the price of the Realme U1. It appears there was a reason behind the price cut. Today, the manufacturer has announced a new variant which has 3GB of RAM and 64GB of storage.
The new variant is priced at ₹10,999 (~$160) which is the old price the 3+32GB variant sold for before yesterday’s price cut. This means there is just a ₹1000 price difference between all three models. The 3+32GB version now sells for ₹9,999 (~$146) while the 4+64GB version is now ₹11,999 (~$175), down from its original price of ₹13,499 (~$197).
Deleting picture perfect memories or struggling to download movies, your smartphone's storage can sometimes be a hassle. Say hello to the new 3+64GB variant of #realmeU1 that gives you extra space.
