The phone is also expected to come with up to 12GB of RAM and around 256GB of storage, which could act as one of the RAM/Storag options. The About section also mentions a ‘+5GB’ of additional RAM. This could mean that the Realme device could come with support for virtual RAM, which is seen in the Vivo X60 Pro and the V21 and seems be the latest smartphone trend these days.

Apart from this, the device is expected to support dual-SIM cards and run Realme UI 2.0 based on Android 11, which is a most likeable choice.

However, details such as the possible name, model number, other specifics still remain behind the curtain. Plus, we don’t know when the device could make its official entry.
