Although not officially confirmed, reports say the firm could also be launching a more advanced variant dubbed the Realme X Pro, so the RealmeX will more or less arrive as a series similar to the upcoming Oneplus 7 series rather than a single device. The Weibo post also hinted that the phone is available for reservations in China via JD.com, Suning, and TMall, although these retailers have yet to reveal the specs and even pricing of the upcoming phones.
The device as per previous leaks is expected to come with a bezel-less full-front display, a pop-up selfie camera and what is more, a triple rear camera setup. You can check here to follow our reportage of the upcoming device.
