Realme's most premium phone with flagship features may arrive next year

Realme has a premium phone but it is more of a flagship killer than a true flagship.

Realme launched the brand-new GT series earlier this year as its new flagship, but it was more of a flagship killer. That means even though it boasted of the performance that you get on phones like OnePlus 9 Pro or Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra, it had to trade off some features to keep the cost low. Realme is now reportedly working on a full-fledged flagship phone for next year and, obviously, it will cost much higher, just like any other ultra-premium flagship phone.

Speaking at the China Mobile Global Partners Conference, Realme vice president Xu Qi said the company will enter the high-end smartphone market where its sister company OnePlus and parent company Oppo are already present. The next flagship phone from Realme may cost around CNY 5,000, which is roughly Rs 58,200. But there is no information about the specifications and features of the Realme phone that may come next year to counter maybe the Xiaomi 12 or the Samsung Galaxy S22.
