Summary
- The Realme 1 features a larger 6.0-inch IPS LCD display with a higher resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels, compared to the 5.5-inch 720 x 1280 pixels display of the vivo V5s, resulting in better pixel density and clarity.
- In terms of performance, the Realme 1 is powered by the more advanced Mediatek Helio P60 chipset, while the vivo V5s uses the older Mediatek MT6750, which may affect multitasking and overall speed.
- Both phones have a 13 MP rear camera with similar specifications, but the vivo V5s excels in selfies with a 20 MP front camera versus the 8 MP on the Realme 1.
- The Realme 1 has a slightly larger 3410 mAh battery compared to the 3000 mAh battery in the vivo V5s, potentially offering longer usage time.
- Build quality is comparable, with both featuring Gorilla Glass fronts; however, the vivo V5s has an aluminum back and frame, giving it a more premium feel.
- Finally, the Realme 1 runs on a newer Android 8.1 (Oreo) with ColorOS 6, while the vivo V5s operates on an older Android 6 (Marshmallow) with Funtouch 3, which may impact software features and updates.
