Realme X is scheduled to make its much-anticipated India debut on July 15. This device was first launched in China with some impressive specs, including an AMOLED display, a pop-up selfie camera, an-display fingerprint scanner, and even a 48MP rear snapper. However, the Realme X in China is powered by the Snapdragon 710 SoC, which comes in the company’s lower-priced Realme 3 Pro in India. And that’s where all the debate begins?
#realmeX may not necessarily launch at the same specs in India.
Apart from Garlic and Onion, 😊
This does come as a bit of surprise, because the Realme X might have a new AMOLED display, a bezel-less design with pop-up cameras but without a chipset bump, it will not be a huge upgrade over the Realme 3 Pro.
Exclusive: realme will launch two phones on 15th July. First one is realme X that will launch with Snapdragon 710 in India and the second one will be a lesser-specced/lite version of the realme 3 (I don’t know the exact name yet). Sounds interesting, doesn’t it? #realmeX #realme pic.twitter.com/CYt8Q8oQ5i
While Ishan’s leaks and tips have been quite accurate, we suggest you take this with a pinch of salt and we can expect Realme to pull a fast one on us. If not, then it would be a lost opportunity for the Chinese giant who’s been trying to follow in the footsteps of Xiaomi. Here’s a quick Realme X hands-on from our trip to China:
In addition, the leak talks about a second lower-specced variant of the Realme 3 (which competes with the Redmi Y3 and Redmi 7 in the sub-Rs 10,000 price segment) that you can read about in the tweet above. Realme already has the Realme C2 in the entry-level segment to compete against the Redmi 7A, however, we can expect the company to now come for Redmi 7 or Redmi Y3 in the Rs 6,000-Rs 8,000 price segment as well.
