Realme seems to be unstoppable. The Chinese giant held its fourth launch event for 2020 (yes, fourth) today in New Delhi to take the wraps off its newest budget-centric Realme 6 series. Realme 6 Pro is being put forth as a successor to the Realme X from last year. It’s going to lead the charge in the premium budget segment with a brand new Snapdragon 700-series chipset, quad-cameras, super-fast charging, and a lot more.
Starting off with the design, you can easily tell that it’s a Realme phone from the vertical quad-camera system with a yellow circular ring on the topmost sensor. The company has moved on from plastic and is offering a glass rear panel with the Realme 6 Pro, protected by Gorilla Glass 5. It has this Lightning pattern on the rear that looks pretty cool to me.
The highlight of this device is that it’s the world’s first smartphone powered by the new Snapdragon 720G chipset. It was announced back in January 2020 and sits squarely been the Snapdragon 712 and Snapdragon 730G. The chipset is coupled with up to 8GB of RAM and 128GB of storage, which is expandable up to 256GB using the dedicated microSD card slot onboard. Realme 6 Pro runs Android 10-based Realme UI out-of-the-box. You can read all about Realme UI’s best features right here.
The physical fingerprint sensor stays but now doubles as the power button. You also get the 3.5mm headphone jack, USB Type-C port, and 3-card slot. There’s also support for NavIC, dual-frequency GPS, Bluetooth 5.1, WiFI 802.11ac, and more.
Realme 6 Pro has been priced at Rs. 16,999 for the 6GB+64GB base variant but you are required to shell out Rs. 17,999 for the 6GB+128GB variant and Rs. 18,999 for the 8GB+128GB variant. It will go on sale from 13th March on Flipkart and Realme’s online store.
