A new fresh leak surfaced today revealing that Realme is preparing a new budget device for a release – namely the Realme A1. The leak reveals that this handset will be priced lower than the Realme U1, costing around $142.
While there are no details about the smartphone specifications, it may launch in colors like Black and Yellow. Just like its big brother, the smartphone may feature a teardrop notch at the top of the display. The processing power should be ensured by the Helio P60 or any of the budget Snapdragon 600-series SoC, but since this is a cheap handset we wouldn’t discard an Helio P35 or a Snapdragon 450 chipset. The handset should also join the dual-camera bandwagon and may include a Selfie AI shooter.
