As scheduled, Realme has officially launched the P1 Speed in India. True to its name, performance is the main focus of the phone. It is powered by the Dimensity 7300 Energy processor which Realme claims exceeds the AnTuTu score of 750,000. Let’s break down the price and specs to see if the “Speed Edition” lives up to the hype.
Realme P1 Speed Specifications
Realme P1 Speed is built around a 6.67-inch FHD+ 2.8D micro-curved OLED panel with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate. The display also boasts a 92.5% screen-to-body ratio and up to 2000 nits of peak brightness.
Alongside Dimensity 7300, the device is powered by up to 12GB of LPDDR4x RAM and 256GB of UFS 3.1 storage. There’s also support for virtual RAM, but note that the virtual RAM uses storage space as false memory, which may impact overall performance.
Nevertheless, Realme touts the P1 Speed Edition as a gaming phone with features like a TUV-SUD certification for lag-free mobile gaming, a dedicated GT Mode, and a large 6050 mm2 stainless steel vapor cooling chamber to manage heat during intense gaming sessions. According to Realme, the phone can consistently deliver a 90 fps gaming experience until the battery reaches 0%.
Additionally, the phone boasts an IP65 rating for water and dust resistance, a plus for those who are accident-prone or live in unpredictable weather conditions.
Powering the phone is a 5000mAh battery, which should offer decent battery life for most users. Realme throws in 45W fast charging to keep you topped up quickly.
The camera system on the P1 Speed Edition is a bit basic. You get a 50MP primary sensor with an unspecified 2MP secondary lens. The front-facing camera for selfies and video calls is a 16MP shooter.
For connectivity, you get the usual suspects — 5G, 4G LTE, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth v5.4, GPS, and a USB Type-C port.
Price and Availability
The Realme P1 Speed comes in two configurations: 8GB RAM with 128GB storage priced at Rs 17,999 (around $215), and a 12GB RAM with 256GB storage option for Rs 20,999 (around $250). There’s also a limited-time launch discount of Rs 2,000, which brings the starting price down to Rs 15,999 (around $190).
The phone will be available in Brushed Blue and Textured Titanium colorways, and you can snag one through the Realme website starting October 20th.
