Realme U1, the selfie-focused smartphone that was launched late last month, has received up to Rs. 1,500 instant discount in India. The discount will be available through Amazon India between December 21 and January 2. Also, it is valid only on purchases made through HDFC Bank debit and credit card EMI transactions. The new development comes just days after Realme started selling the 3GB RAM/ 32GB storage variant of the Realme U1 through an open sale via Amazon India. It also makes the competition tougher for the Honor 8C that is strongly competing against the latest Realme handset.

As announced through a tweet on Thursday, the Realme U1 will be available with up to Rs. 1,500 instant discount via HDFC Bank debit and credit card EMI transactions. The new offer will be live from December 21 to January 2.

It is worth noting here that while the Realme U1 3GB RAM/ 32GB storage variant will be available with the instant discount starting December 21, the sale of the Realme U1 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage model will go live with the discount at 12pm on December 26 - which is when the discount will be applicable.

Realme U1 price in India

The Realme U1 price in India starts at Rs. 11,999 for the 3GB RAM/ 32GB onboard storage variant, while its 4GB RAM/ 64GB storage model is available at Rs. 14,499. Both variants of the handset were initially available via a flash sale.
