After confirming that the world’s first MediaTek
Helio P70-powered smartphone will launch under new ‘U series’, Realme today
announced that the phone will be called Realme U1 and will be launched
exclusively on Amazon.in on November 28th. The company says that it will
come with most powerful selfie camera ever for capturing flawless selfies.
It also has a Dewdrop notch that was introduced with
the Realme 2 Pro in September, so we can expect high screen-to-body ratio with
minimal bezels. The MediaTek Helio P70 is based on the same TSMC’s 12nm FinFET
technology as the predecessor, but this comes with multi-core APU operating at
up to 525 MHz for fast and efficient edge-AI processing. The AI engine promises
a 10 to 30% AI processing boost compared to the Helio P60.
It has a slightly over clocked ARM Cortex-A73 2.1
GHz CPUs and four ARM Cortex-A53 2.0 GHz CPUs in an Octa-core big.LITTLE
configuration as the P60. It has ARM Mali-G72 MP3 GPU operating at up to 900
MHz, which promises a 13% performance improvement, compared to the Helio
P60. It has support for 20:9 displays at
Full HD+ resolution.
