Realme will be selling the phone from September 16th on Flipkart and Realme eStore. A special iconic case will be sold separately sometime in October.
The phone touts a 6.4-inch Full HD (2340×1080) Super AMOLED display with 500 nits of brightness, protected on front and back by Corning Gorilla Glass 5. The 16MP selfie camera that resides inside the waterdrop notch positioned at the center of the screen uses a Sony IMX471 sensor with a moderately-bright f/2.0 aperture for low light capture, and can also be used to unlock the phone.
