The image shared by the user not only reveals the key specs of the Realme Note 1, but also shows its launch date and competitors. It appears that someone tried to snap a picture of a media briefing held by Realme for this upcoming smartphone series. Let’s see the full details.

Realme Note 1 launch date

As per the leaked image, the Realme Note 1 will launch on January 24. Expect the device to go official in select markets. It’s unclear whether the series will arrive in India. But if it does, expect it to receive fierce competition in the country.

The smartphone will compete head-to-head with Infinix Note 30 and the newly launched Redmi Note 13. The former is a 4G handset, while the latter is a 5G device. Going by the chipset, which we will have a look at later in this article, the Note 1 will also be a 5G handset.

Realme Note 1 specifications

Realme Note 1 will feature a 6.67-inch OLED display with an FHD+ resolution. The device is expected to have a punch-hole screen with some sort of protection. Moving to the cameras, the device will have a triple rear camera system with a 108MP main lens, an 8MP ultrawide unit, and a 2MP auxiliary sensor. Upfront, it will have a 16MP snapper for selfies.

Under the hood, the Note 1 will be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7050 chipset, as per the leaked image. It will house a 5,000mAh battery with 67W fast charging support. The smartphone will have an in-display fingerprint scanner for added security. It will also have dual speakers.

It is worth noting that Realme hasn’t officially confirmed these specs. So take them with a pinch of salt.
