This is notably lower than other Snapdragon 888-powered devices like the Xiaomi Mi 11 (CNY3,999/$610) and vivo’s X60 Pro+ (CNY 5,000/$775)and iQOO 7 (CNY 3,798/$586). Realme have always tried to offer the most competitive pricing with their devices but we’ll have to wait for next week’s event to get the actual figure.
