The smartphone packs a 6.67-inch 1604 x 720 display that promises up to 625nits in High Brightness Mode to get through the sun or strong backlight sources. It also comes with a MediaTek Helio G85 chip complemented by 8GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
Powering the device is an industry-standard 5,000mAh battery that supports 45W Fast Charge through its USB-C port. Imaging is provided by its 50MP f/1.8 main camera with PDAF, a 2MP f/2.4 depth lens, and an 8MP f/2.05 front-facing camera.
realme has added what they call Air Gestures that uses gestures to control your smartphone by just waving your hand. The power button also doubles as a Dynamic Button that allows you to bind it to other functions like Flashlight, Mute, Camera, or Music.
