Realme has announced that its next flagship will have Qualcomm’s new Snapdragon 888 chipset and it might launch in February next year.
Qualcomm’s next flagship processor, the Snapdragon 888, was launched on Tuesday. This announcement was followed by several others from leading smartphone companies racing to get the most powerful chipset for Android to date. Realme has now announced that its next flagship, which it is calling Race internally, will be powered by the new Snapdragon 888 processor, bringing the high-grade performance to its customers. Realme has said Race is just a codename for now, which means there will be a different name for commercial purpose. Leaks in the past have suggested it could be called either Realme Ace or Realme X60 Pro 5G. Realme India and Europe CEO, Madhav Sheth said that the company’s next flagship phone will be a milestone for both Realme and its users. Sheth said Realme is working towards democratising the next-generation 5G technology globally, which means that the Race smartphone might come at an affordable cost that can be associated with flagships. Realme’s previous flagship phone, X50 Pro 5G, was launched for under Rs 40,000 in India, which is a lot less than what OnePlus or Samsung ask for their 5G handsets.
