Last week, the Realme RMX2173 and RMX2117 smartphones had surfaced in the database of China’s TENAA regulatory body with preliminary specifications. Rumors have that the Realme RMX2117 will break cover as a Q-series phone from the brand. The entire specs of the RMX2117 are now known since its TENAA listing is now updated with all important information. The RMX2173’s listing at TENAA has also been updated with its images and specs.

The RMX2173 model number indicated that it could be a variant of the recently unveiled Realme X7 phone that has a model number of RMX2176. Now that the TENAA listing of the Realme RMX2173 is updated, it is quite evident that the phone is a lower variant of the Realme X7. Hence, it is likely that the Realme RMX2173 may arrive in the Chinese markets as Realme X7 Youth or Realme X7 Lite. Both phones have identical specs and design, and the only noticeable difference is that the Realme RMX2173 has downgraded cameras.
