Realme China’s Vice President Wang Wei today confirmed the existence of a new smartphone named Realme X7 Pro Extreme Edition. Wei claims that it will be one of the most affordable smartphones featuring an AMOLED display with a curved edge design. A well-known tipster from China has shared a few key details of the smartphone.

It appears that Realme X7 Pro Extreme Edition will borrow its other specifications from the Realme X7 Pro. According to the tipster, the device is equipped with the Dimensity 1000+ chipset, a front-facing camera of 32-megapixel, and a 64-megapixel primary camera on its rear shell.

Despite housing a large-sized 4,500mAh battery, the handset is expected to flaunt a slim design with a 7.8mm thickness. The original Realme X7 Pro has a thickness of 8.7mm. The handset will also carry support for 65W rapid charging. The tipster said that the Realme X7 Pro Extreme Edition could be priced around 2,000 Yuan (~$307).

Wei has also claimed that the Realme will strive to Master Edition models by collaborating with Japanese designer Fukasawa Naoto. It remains to be seen whether the company launches a Master Edition for the upcoming Realme X9 and X9 Pro handsets.

In related news, Realme will be launching the Realme GT Neo smartphone on March 31 in China. The handset is likely to arrive in the market as the first Dimensity 1200 chipset powered smartphone. It was spotted with its RMX3031 at Geekbench yesterday. The Geekbench listings revealed that it could be arriving in 6 GB and 8 GB RAM editions. Its other specifications of the smartphone are not known yet. It remains to be seen whether the Realme X7 Pro Extreme Edition goes official alongside the Realme GT Neo.

OPPO is expected to announce the Find X3 Pro flagship phone in March. Last year, the company announced the Find X2 and Find X2 Pro smartphones together in the same month. Several leaks have revealed details of the Find X3 Pro, but there is no clear information on whether vanilla Find X3 will launch alongside it. Instead, the Find X3 Neo and Find X3 Lite are expected to launch with the Find X3 Pro. Yesterday, well-known tipster Evan Blass shared a render to reveal the front design of all three phones.

As can be seen in the new render, the Find X3 Pro, Find X3 Neo, and Find X3 Lite has a selfie camera hole-punch at the upper left corner of their displays. The screens of the Find X3 Pro and Neo have curved edges, but the Lite model has a flat screen.

As is known, the Find X3 Pro is a Snapdragon 888 SoC powered flagship phone. It is expected to arrive with a 6.7-inch AMOLED with up to 120Hz refresh rate support, Quad HD+ resolution, and 10-bit color support. It may come with a 4,500mAh battery that supports 65W SuperVOOC 2.0 charging and 30W VOOC Air wireless charging.

The tipster has already revealed that the Find X3 Lite will be a rebranded edition of China’s Reno5 5G. The Chinese model has “Reno Glow” branding on its back. This branding will be replaced by a regular OPPO logo on the Find X3 Lite. It is likely to borrow all its specs from its Chinese version.

Blass is yet to reveal the specs of the Find X3 Neo. It is speculated that it will be a rebranded version of the Reno5 Pro 5G.

Realme X7 5G could be rebadged Realme V15 5G

The Realme X7 Pro 5G for India could be the same device that went official in China in September. However, it may not be the case with Realme X7 5G. It is likely that Realme V15 5G which debuted earlier this month in China could be rebadged as the Realme X7 5G for India.

The promo page of the Realme X7 5G on Flipkart states that it weighs 176 grams, and it is packed with specs like an S-AMOLED panel, Dimensity 800U chipset, a 4,300mAh battery with 50W SuperDart Charge technology, and a 64-megapixel (main) + 8-megapixel (ultrawide) + 2-megapixel (macro) triple camera system.

Honor became an independent company in November 2020. Huawei, the former parent brand of Honor, is yet to be freed from restrictions that have been imposed on it due to the US trade ban. Since Honor is free from the ban, it has been busy streamlining relationships with partners and suppliers. It was reported recently that Honor is working on bringing support for Google Mobile Services (GMS) on its devices. Fresh information shared by a Russian publication reveals that the Honor V40 could be the company’s first phone after the US ban to arrive with GMS support.

Honor was previously rumored to launch the Honor V40 smartphone in December. However, the launch date was pushed to January. It is speculated that the launch was delayed mainly because Honor wanted to add support for GMS on the V40.

The V40 with Google apps and services are expected to launch in European markets as the Honor View 40. The handset is expected to launch in Europe at some point in the second quarter of the year. The company is reportedly working on another phone with GMS support. It is unclear whether this device is a V40 series phone or some other handset. With Google apps and services available on Honor phones, forthcoming Honor phones are unlikely to feature Huawei’s AppGallery.

OPPO will be announcing the Reno5 series in China in the coming month. The lineup reportedly includes three handsets such as the Reno5, Reno5 Pro, and Reno5 Pro+. These monikers are not official yet. A tipster has claimed that the global launch of the Reno5 series is also nearing. He also shared key details of the global editions of the Reno5 models.

Leakster Chun has claimed that the Reno5 series will go official earlier than expected in December or January. The Reno5 will be available in 4G and 5G versions. The 4G model will have the Snapdragon 720G along with 1^st generation SuperVOOC 50W, whereas the 5G edition will be driven by the Snapdragon 765G and it will support 2^nd generation SuperVOOC 65W.

The leak further reveals that the Reno5 Pro and Reno5 Pro+ will not be available in the 4G version in the global markets. While the Chinese edition of the Reno5 Pro is expected to arrive with Dimensity 1000+, its global variant will have the Snapdragon 765G SoC.

The OPPO Reno5 Pro+ will be a flagship phone featuring the unannounced Snapdragon 870 (or 865 Ultra) chipset. It will borrow the Sony IMX689 48-megapixel sensor that was made available on the Find X2 and OnePlus 8 Pro. The Reno5 Pro+ will remain exclusive to the Chinese markets.

The tipster added that the reason why OPPO is aiming for an early global release is that it wants to increase the sales of the Reno5 series during the upcoming Lunar New Year in many Southeast Asian countries. It appears that Samsung had also applied the same strategy last year when it introduced the Galaxy A71 and Galaxy A51v phones in December.

According to the tipster, the Reno5 series is not a major upgrade over the Reno4 series since both have almost the same design language and specifications.  Instead of a dual selfie camera found on the Reno4, the Reno5 has a single camera hole for 44-megapixel selfie snapper. Also, the main rear camera on the Reno5 will be upgraded to 64-megapixel.
