Unreleased Realme confirmed to be real, sadly not coming out


Back in April, a phone with the Realme logo leaked on Weibo, suggesting the brand is trying a radically new design which is similar to some Oppo Reno smartphones. It had some gaming aesthetics and three cameras, hidden behind a flat panel and we thought this is an upcoming gaming phone.

The truth as revealed by Francis Wang, CMO of Realme India, is less exciting - it was a design consideration for a new smartphone, but had to be canceled because the company didn’t want to make any compromises with the internal design.

Wang confirmed that in order to have a thin flat smartphone with three cameras, the battery capacity will be significantly compromised. He also revealed Realme is working on “something better” and it will keep betting on “stylish design”, whatever that means.

Realme recently launched a phone for the mobile gamers - the X50 Pro Player. It is an updated version of the X50 Pro flagship with extra graphite sheets for better cooling. The memory is LPDDR5 RAM and UFS 3.0 storage - Realme obviously has an answer to its fans that prefer mobile games and want to remain loyal to the brand.

The Google Play Support page mentions the same HTC 2Q9J1000 model number we saw earlier.

Both of them had unimpressive Helio chipsets (respectively P22 and P35) and the main camera was 13 MP f/1.9 with PDAF on both of them. Hopefully, this year’s Desire lineup will get in line with the current trends and introduce big batteries, fast charging, and better cameras if HTC w...

IDC: Global smartphone shipments to decline by 12% in 2020

The latest predictions from analysts IDC concerns the global smartphone shipments and they sound properly grim. Total shipments for 2020 are expected to reach 1.2 billion units which would be an 11.9% decline compared to 2019. The new estimate is based on the Q1 shipment results which saw the largest decline in smartphone sales in the history of IDC’s Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker at -14.5%. Looking at the first half of 2020, IDC predicts an 18.2% decline in shipments due to lowered consumer spending. According to IDC’s Sangeetika Srivastava, the main issue now is a lack of demand on behalf of consumers. On a more regional basis, the new report suggests that China will see a single-digit decline in shipments for the current year as COVID-19 restrictions have been lifted and demand is slowly recovering. The situation in Europe is more difficult as countries like Italy and Spain are still actively fighting the pandemic. In the long-term, IDC expects th...
