Realme to launch ‘latest flagship’ with MediaTek Dimensity 1200 5G in India, could be Realme X9 Pro

Realme has put out a teaser for a “new flagship” with the MediaTek Dimensity 1200 5G processor. Realme India CEO Madhav Sheth said in a tweet that this will be the first Realme smartphone to feature this processor, without revealing the name of the device.

To recall, Sheth tweeted about a Realme X-series smartphone with MediaTek Dimensity 1200 in January as well. It was speculated that Realme X9 Pro, which will be a successor to the Realme X7 series will come with the chipset.

“Taking yet another Tech Trendsetting Leap by introducing the latest #realme flagship with MediaTek Dimensity 1200 5G Processor. This will be the first realme smartphone to feature this powerful processor,” Sheth said in a recent tweet.

MediaTek Dimensity 1200 is a flagship chipset that is based on a 6nm processor tech and comes with support for 5G. Realme X9 Pro, which was recently spotted on certification site TENAA (via Mukul Sharma) with model number RMX3116 is listed with this processor.

The listing also reveals the smartphone will sport a 6.55-inch FHD+ display, an under-display fingerprint sensor, Android 11 OS, and 65W fast charging. Apart from this, the TENAA images hint at a dual-curved screen and a rectangular rear camera module. The smartphone will get the ‘Dare to Leap’ branding, which is in line with Sheth’s tweet who has used the same hashtag.

Meanwhile, the company is gearing up to launch the Realme 8 series in India on March 24. The company will announce two smartphones in the series – the Realme 8 and Realme 8 Pro. The devices are already up for pre-order on Flipkart and Realme.com until March 22. Realme 8 and the Realme 8 Pro can be pre-booked by making an advanced payment of Rs 1,080.

The company has already confirmed that Realme 8 Pro will feature a 108-megapixel quad rear camera sensor and it will support 50W fast charging. Further, Realme 8 will come with a 64-megapixel quad-camera setup at the back. The phones get ‘Dare to Leap’ branding and will sport a punch-hole selfie camera.
