Realme

Realme is back with a new midrange smartphone shortly after it launched the Realme 12+ in India. The first entry in its new P series of smartphones — the Realme P1 5G — offers a compelling set of specifications in the competitive sub-Rs. 20,000 price segment. Discerning smartphone enthusiasts will also notice that the handset shares some specifications with the Realme 12+, while a few key differences allow the company to sell it at a slightly lower price point. We've spent some time with the Realme P1 5G to see if it's worth your money.

Realme is back with another stylish phone in the Realme 12 series. The new Realme 12+ is the latest in the lineup and takes some cues from the Realme 12 Pro duo. You get a familiar camera module that looks like a luxury watch and a vegan leather back panel that reminds you of the more expensive Realme 12 Pro lineup. This is a mid-range smartphone, though, and it comes with a big screen, a segment-first Sony LYT-600 rear camera, and once again boasts a collaboration with Claudio Miranda.

Realme has been delivering quality smartphones in the mid-range for several years. The Realme 12 Pro+ sure made quite an impression at launch. We received a smartphone that looked the part for a mid-ranger, packed in enough performance with capable hardware, and offered an interesting set of cameras which till date are unheard of at this price point. Then, there's the attractive pricing, which makes an even better case for this mid-range device. However, the mid-range has evolved quite a bit over the past year.
