Realme P1 Speed 5G

The Realme P1 Speed 5G has a slim profile measuring 161.7 mm tall, 74.7 mm wide, and just 7.6 mm thick, with a total volume of 91.8 cm³ and a weight of 185 g that keeps it reasonably manageable in hand. It carries an IP65 rating, meaning it offers solid protection against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets, making it water resistant in everyday situations. The handset does not feature a rugged build and cannot be folded, positioning it as a standard candy-bar form factor smartphone.

The Realme P1 Speed 5G features a 6.67″ OLED/AMOLED touch screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels and a pixel density of 395 ppi, delivering a reasonably sharp and vibrant visual experience. The panel supports a 120Hz refresh rate for fluid on-screen motion and reaches a typical brightness of 600 nits. It does not include branded damage-resistant glass, HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision support, and there is no Always-On Display mode or secondary screen present on this device.

The Realme P1 Speed 5G is driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300, a 4nm chipset built on an octa-core configuration running at 4 x 2.5GHz and 4 x 2GHz using big.LITTLE architecture with Heterogeneous Multi-Processing, and integrating LTE directly on the SoC alongside a Mali G615 MC2 GPU clocked at 1047MHz with DirectX 12 support for a single display. The processor is paired with 12GB of DDR5 RAM running at 6400MHz, with the platform supporting a maximum of 16GB, and 256GB of internal storage on board. Built on a 64-bit architecture with 8 threads and approximately 6,200 million transistors, the chipset posts Geekbench 6 scores of 1026 in single-core and 2932 in multi-core testing, reflecting its capability for sustained everyday workloads.

The Realme P1 Speed 5G features a dual-lens rear camera system pairing a 50MP primary sensor at f/1.8 with a 2MP secondary lens at f/2.4, both using a CMOS sensor without back-illumination, and capable of recording 4K video at 30fps with continuous autofocus during recording and slow-motion support, though optical image stabilization and optical zoom are absent. Autofocus options include phase-detection and touch autofocus, while manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, and additional shooting modes include HDR, burst, panorama, and timelapse; raw capture, manual shutter speed, laser autofocus, and 360° panorama are not supported. A single dual-tone LED flash assists in low-light stills, though HDR10 and Dolby Vision recording are not available. On the front, a 16MP single-lens camera with an f/2.4 aperture handles selfies without a dedicated flash, an under-display placement, or a secondary lens.

The Realme P1 Speed 5G runs Android 14 and includes a broad set of privacy controls, covering clipboard warnings, location privacy options, and camera and microphone access management, though Mail Privacy Protection and cross-site tracking blocking are not present. On the personalization side, the device supports theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, and an extra dim mode, while focus modes and app offloading are not available. Productivity and usability are addressed through split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, customizable notifications, sharing intents, widgets, and the ability to play games while they download, though Wi-Fi password sharing and Quick Start are absent. The OS also supports on-device machine learning, offline voice recognition, voice commands, Live Text, device tracking, a child lock, a battery health check, and multi-user accounts, and while it is free and open source, it does not receive direct OS updates from the vendor.

The Realme P1 Speed 5G is equipped with a 5000 mAh rechargeable battery that supports 45W fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. A battery level indicator is present for monitoring charge status. The battery is not removable, and wireless charging is not supported.

The Realme P1 Speed 5G includes a 3.5mm headphone jack and stereo speakers for flexible audio output. On the wireless audio side, the device does not support aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC, limiting higher-quality Bluetooth audio codec options. There is also no built-in radio receiver.

The Realme P1 Speed 5G supports 5G connectivity alongside a dual SIM configuration, Wi-Fi 4, 5, and 6, and Bluetooth 5.4, with NFC also on board for contactless interactions. Wired connectivity is handled via a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0, and an external memory slot provides expandable storage. Peak download and upload speeds reach 3270 Mbits/s, and the device includes a fingerprint scanner for biometric authentication, while 3D facial recognition and iris scanning are absent. For navigation and sensing, the phone is equipped with GPS, Galileo, a compass, a gyroscope, and an accelerometer, though a barometer, infrared sensor, heart rate monitor, and ANT+ support are not included. Features such as satellite emergency SOS, crash detection, HDMI output, DLNA certification, motion tracking, optical tracking, and a built-in projector are likewise not present.

The Realme P1 Speed 5G includes a video light to assist with illumination during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved, and the device does not feature a sapphire glass screen or an e-paper display.
