Over the years, Realme has solidified its position as one of the major players in the Budget and mid-range smartphone segment. Earlier this year, Realme successfully entered the flagship killer segment with the release of its GT series.
But its ambitions don’t stop there, as the founder and CEO of Realme, Sky Li, revealed their plan to duke it out with the top dogs in the ultra-premium segment via a tweet.
It's official: realme to advance into high-end market with smartphones over USD800. What do you expect most from realme full flagship phone?

In other words, Realme will be going up against industry giants like Samsung, Apple, and Google in the $800+ smartphone segment. Currently, Realme doesn’t have any device in this segment, and their top offering is the smartphone killer GT Neo 2.
Other than this announcement, no further details were provided as to when the customers can see the ultra-premium smartphone from Realme or what features to expect from it.
Which leaves us to speculate about its highlights and features. Realme has greatly improved its camera performance with the launch of its GT series, so more performance can be expected on the upcoming ultra-premium phone with the inclusion of bigger sensors and better software optimization.
The phone will likely be equipped with a QHD+ resolution display with high refresh rate support, the upcoming Snapdragon 898 SoC and lightning-fast memory. It might also accommodate features like 125W fast charging and a 5000mAh battery. With other major brands extending their software support in recent times, Realme’s ultra-premium phone might also get software support of up to 4 years.
With the year coming to an end, we are sure to hear more about this upcoming phone in early 2022.
