Earlier this year, Realme unveiled its GT series in the Chinese market including handsets like GT 5G, GT Neo, GT Neo Flash Edition, and GT Master Edition. A few of these phones from the series will now go global on August 18 with the launch in Europe and India. While Realme is planning to proliferate the new series in multiple markets, it’s also ground working to shelve off an old smartphone series.
Reportedly, Realme is planning to discontinue its upper mid-range Realme X series and it may replace it with the Realme GT series. In talks with the folks at TechRadar, Realme’s CEO Madhav Sheth confirmed that the new Realme GT series will officially replace the older Realme X series.
Sheth said, “The X will be replaced by the GT; so the GT is the new X.” It means the X lineup which offered high-end specs at affordable prices will no longer be in working. However, the GT series, which anyway offers a similar flagship-like experience, will take the lead from now on.
Notably, the other phone lineups from Realme – the Realme C series, Realme numbered series, and Narzo series will continue to launch in their set segments. The new GT lineup, on the other hand, will just be an addition.
That said, the series is currently available in China and is launching in other major markets like Europe and India. We can expect the series to reach more markets soon and we may also see some new phones incoming this year or next year.
