In the relatively similar price
range, the Indonesian smartphone market has provided smartphones with
specifications that are not much different from the Galaxy M20, namely Realme
U1. This phone comes with a design that is also tempting and features and
specifications are qualified. However, which of the two smartphones is more
interesting to have based on the specifications and features offered? for more
details, the following explanation of the two smartphones.
Design
Sold at a price that is not much
different, these two smartphones come with a design look plus body material
that is not much different. At the front, these two smartphones come with

second smartphone is present polycarbonate plastic material. With a glossy
finish that makes it look shiny like glass. Slightly different from the Galaxy

devices. This is certainly a special value for Realme U1 in attracting
Indonesian consumers.

a distance of 83.6% on the screen, while Realme U1 reaches 83.9%
Besides having similarities from
the implanted screen panel. Both of these smartphones also use the Android 8.1
Oreo operating system. For the Samsung Galaxy M20 this is quite regrettable,

be using the Android operating system that is more up to date, namely Android
9.0 Pie. In addition, there is no official news, whether the two smartphones
will get an Android 9.0 operating system update in the future.
Although both use a similar
operating system, but both of these smartphones have a display interface that
is much different. Samsung has a simpler and simpler interface with UI
Experience 9.5. whereas, Realme U1 adopts OP1-made U1, which is color OS 5.2.
both of these UIs have their respective flagship which certainly provides a
different experience in using them.

Mali-G71. Unlike the Samsung, Realme U1 is more entrusting Mediatek chipsets
that have been tested for quality in accommodating a variety of user needs.

Mediatek Helio P70 chipset, which is a middle-class smartphone chipset

Mediatek chipset also has a dual quad-core processor configuration, but has a
much better clockspeed than Samsung's chipset. In addition, the graphics used
by Realmi U1 are also slightly above the graphics on the Galaxy M20, the
Mali-G72.
2385/5000
In terms of power, Samsung is far
superior compared to Realme. Samsung Galaxy M20 already uses its device with a
5000 mAh capacity battery that makes the device's durability much longer. Not
only that, the embedded battery has also been combined with a fast battery
charging feature. While Realme U1 only uses a battery with a capacity of 3500
mAh, but it is equipped with a fast battery charging feature too.
Photography
Enter the photography sector,
both of these smartphones both use a dual camera on the back and a single
camera on the front. Even though it has similarities, the two smartphones have
a very basic difference in the amount of resolution that is embedded. Samsung
that focuses on the use of the rear camera with a configuration of 13 MP + 5MP
and the main camera installed has an aperture of f / 1.9 which accommodates
better shooting in low light conditions. Meanwhile, both cameras function to
get photo objects with good effects. Meanwhile, Realme U1 uses a device with a
13 MP + 2Mp rear camera configuration. This installed camera has a smaller
aperture compared to the Galaxy M20 which is f / 2.0. whereas, the function of
the second camera is installed similar to the Galaxy M20 which produces good
photo effects.
Although Samsung is better than
the rear camera that is installed, but Realme U1 which targets selfie lovers
using a front camera with a very large resolution in its class. Realme U1 uses
a 25 MP front camera that is claimed to be able to produce high quality photos.
Not only that, the front camera installed has also been filled with a variety
of very tempting features. While the Samsung Galaxy M20 only uses an 8 MP front
camera, although it has a resolution that is not large, however, this front
camera is enough to accommodate the user's selfie needs.

not much different, both of these smartphones offer features and specifications
that are not much different. However, Realme excels from the body cover that is
installed, the performance and front camera. Whereas, Samsung, which has a more
infinity screen, offers better quality rear camera features, jumbo capacity
