Realme India on Friday has announced that it will launch the earlier postponed Narzo series of smartphones. The launch which is on April 21 will be an online-only affair. The series comprises of two handsets –  Narzo 10 and Narzo 10A 

The company said in its recent tweet that it will host an online event that will be streamed via Realme’s official YouTube Channel and its social media platforms on April 21st at 12:30 PM. If we recall, Realme was supposed to host a launch event on March 26, but they had to cancel the event as the Indian government imposed a nationwide lockdown to curb the spread of COVID-19.

The lockdown was supposed to end on April 14, but it was extended to May 3 recently. However, the Indian Home Ministry has relaxed some of the strict guidelines hinting that sales could begin from April 20. 

The new series will have two smartphones- the Narzo 10 and the Narzo 10A. Reports indicate that Narzo 10 is a rebranded version of the Realme 6i that debuted in Myanmar recently. It will be launching in India as the country’s first MediaTek Helio G80 powered phone. As per the rumors, the Narzo 10 will feature a 6.5-inch HD+ screen resolution with support for a 20:9 aspect ratio and a waterdrop notch. It is said to pack 4GB of RAM, 128GB of inbuilt storage, a quad-camera setup with a 48MP main camera and a 16MP front camera.

Apart from this, there is Narzo 10A which could be a rebranded version of Realme C3 that launched in Indonesia recently. which is said to be a toned-down version of Narzo 10 with a Mediatek Helio G70 chipset, 4GB of RAM, 64GB of internal storage. The optics include a triple camera setup with a 12MP main sensor and a 5MP front camera.

Amidst the lockdown, when companies are suffering losses in sales,  Realme’s aggressive move indicates that budget rivals have got some tough days ahead.
