Oppo Realme 1 coming on tomorrow

NewDelhi, May 24: Realme 1, the first smartphone by Oppo's new smartphone sub-brand Realme, will go on sale for the first time in India tomorrow.

Buyers can choose between the Diamond Black and Solar Red finishes. There’s also a 4GB RAM + 64GB storage option that will come in Diamond Black and Moonlight Silver colours, but it will be released in a few weeks and not the first sale.

There will be a 5 percent cashback on purchases made using SBI cards, Jio benefits worth Rs. 4,850, a free case, and a free screen protector. Buyers will also get 80 percent off on Kindle ebooks (up to Rs. 300) if they have not purchased one before
