Realme was one of the leading smartphone brands to have announced an association with Qualcomm to use the latest Snapdragon 888 chipset. It said it is working on the Realme Race flagship device but this is only a codename. The jury is still out on what this device will be commercially called. The name has so far teetered between X60 Pro and Ace and now we might have some clarity. Realme China president and vice president, Xu Qi Chase has confirmed that the Realme Race will be a part of a “brand new series”. This straight-up denies that it might be called X60 Pro. So what we are left with is Realme Ace for the company’s next flagship as of now.
Chase shared a post stating the development that has been going on about the Realme Race device. In his post on Weibo, Chase said that the Race is just a codename and that the brand new series is going to be “super cool”. These words are translated from his post in Mandarin. Chase has also confirmed that the Realme Race will be launched in 2021, which is obvious at this point in time but also a little vague. Since the Realme official did not provide us with a timeline, the launch date of the Realme Race is something that leaks might shed the light on. For what it is worth, Realme might launch the device around the same time as Oppo and other companies will launch their Snapdragon 888-powered phones.
Realme’s first flagship phone is called X50 Pro 5G, which was launched back in February this year. Now, it is practical to think the successor will be called X60 Pro 5G. But while the hype was all about this name, a leak suggested that Oppo has given away its Ace moniker to Realme now. Ace used to be a part of the Reno series, known for bringing the first 65W fast charging phone and successive ones. Oppo then made Ace a standalone series torn off from Reno. It launched Oppo Ace and Ace 2 smartphones, the latter to have been launched earlier this year. And now the parent company may have transferred the series to Realme, which might be right because Chase has just confirmed X60 Pro is unlikely. So, it is quite possible the Realme Race might end up getting the Realme Ace name.
We are also seeing what could be some of the first images of the Realme Race phone. A render of a mysterious Realme phone has cropped up on Weibo, making people think that it might be the Realme Race device that is currently under development. The device has a square-shaped camera island with at least three sensors, one of them having a 64MP lens. Towards the end of the side, there is a branding that reads Power Design. Now, these terms refer to the new pattern that uses three colours to form a flask-like shape on the back. On the right side, there is just a power button, which means the volume rocker and any other button might be on the left side of the smartphone. The details about the charging ports, audio jack, and speakers are not clear from the image. The fingerprint sensor is also going to be integrated under the display, much like how it is on X50 Pro 5G and other Android flagship phones.
For the specifications, GSMArena shared a screenshot of the About phone page of the Realme Race device, which gave away some information. The Realme Race could come with the Snapdragon 888 chipset, 12GB of RAM, 256GB of storage, and Android 11-based Realme UI 2.0. The model number of this device was mentioned as RMX2022. Apart from these things, there is nothing else known about the specifications of the device. We will have to wait for Realme or leaks to know more about this device.
