Realme 1 Silver Limited Edition With 4GB RAM Will Go on Sale on June 18

Realme has announced that the Moonlight Silver colour variant of the Realme 1 smartphone will be arriving in India next week. The Oppo-owned brand had launched the Realme 1, aimed at the Indian youth and meant for e-commerce channels, in May 2018 as its first smartphone. Initially, the handset was available in Diamond Black and Solar Red colour variants and, the company had promised a Moonlight Silver colour model later in June.

The Silver colour variant of the Realme 1 comes just a month after Oppo launched the smartphone. The handset will be launching on June 18 and will come in only one variant. While the smartphone was launched in three different storage variants - 3GB RAM/ 32GB storage, 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage, and 6GB RAM/ 128GB storage - the Moonlight Silver Limited Edition model will only be available with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of inbuilt storage. The Realme 1 price in India for the Silver model has been set at Rs. 10,990, identical to the other models with the same configuration. Since Oppo has already named Amazon India as its strategic partner for the phone, the new variant will also be exclusively available on the online marketplace.
