The Realme 1 went on sale in India for the first time today, and now Amazon and the Oppo-owned brand have revealed the smartphone will next be available on June 1. The June 1 Realme 1 sale will see both the 3GB RAM and 6GB RAM variants up for grabs again, while those looking for the 4GB RAM variant will have to continue to wait. Oddly enough, Realme 1 is being sold in a lightning deal on Amazon India at Rs. 8,989 for the 3GB RAM option and Rs. 13,989 for the 16GB RAM variant, Re. 1 less than their standard prices. Amazon lightning deals are known for bigger discounts, so it’s unclear why the smartphone is being sold as a lightning deal. We have reached out to the Realme public relations team for clarity on this, and will update this story upon receiving a response.
Those who want to buy either the 3GB RAM or 6GB RAM variants in the Realme 1 sale on June 1 will have to sign up for the waitlist. At the time of writing, waitlists for both the Diamond Black and Solar Red 3GB RAM variants are closed. On the other hand, the waitlist for the 6GB RAM option in Solar Red is still open.
