MediaTek is actually rebranding its existing Dimensity 700, 800, and 900 series SoCs under the fresh Dimensity 6000 and specific 7000 series. The move is intended to simplify the company’s product portfolio and deliver a more transparent naming system for consumers. The core technology and specifications largely remain the same.

The Dimensity 7050 SoC has been manufactured using TSMC’s advanced 6nm process technology, and its CPU is composed of two high-performance 2.6GHz Cortex-A78 cores and six power-efficient 2.0GHz Cortex-A55 cores. The GPU features a Mali-G68 MC4, with support for LPDDR5/4x memory and UFS 3.1/2.1 storage standards.

When it comes to display capabilities, the chipset can handle screens with resolutions of up to 2520 x 1080 pixels and 120Hz refresh rates. Camera support is also impressive, with the ability to accommodate lenses of up to 200MP, 4K HDR video recording, and advanced features like hardware HDR video, triple HDR-ISP, and MENR.

On the video front, the Dimensity 7050 offers encoding support for HEVC and H.264 formats, as well as playback compatibility with HEVC, H.264, MPEG-1/2/4, and VP-9 codecs.

Devices powered by the Dimensity 7050 chipset are expected to provide a substantial boost to gaming performance. MediaTek has integrated features such as Wi-Fi Rapid Channel, a 5G HSR mode tailored for gaming, and a super hotspot energy-saving technology to ensure a seamless gaming experience for users.

Additionally, the processor comes with support for global navigation satellite systems (GNSS) and the latest Wi-Fi 6 standard, further expanding its capabilities and compatibility.

Several new smartphones are expected to launch in May in China. The Vivo S17 series, Oppo Reno 10 lineup, and Honor 90 series are expected to break cover in May and become available for purchase during the 618 online shopping festival in June in the country. Today, Realme released the below poster to confirm that it will announce the Realme 11 series in May.

The poster does not reveal anything significant about the Realme 11 series. The round design that can be seen in the image suggests that the Realme 11 series will be equipped with a circular camera module. To recall, the Realme 11 Pro was recently seen with a round camera module in the images that surfaced through its TENAA certification.

The specifications of the Realme 11 Pro and 11 Pro+ are already known. The lineup is also expected to include some other models, including the vanilla Realme 11 5G. However, the details of the non-Pro models are not known so far.

The Realme 11 Pro and 11 Pro+ will arrive with a 6.7-inch AMOLED FHD+ display with curved edges. Both devices are said to be powered by the Dimensity 1080 chipset, up to 16 GB of RAM, 1 TB of storage, and a 5,000mAh battery. These devices will run on Realme UI 4.0-based Android 13.

The post Realme 11 series confirmed to launch in May, Realme 11 Pro+ with 200MP camera expected appeared first on Gizmochina.

The Realme 10 series was released in India in December and offered impressive devices with great displays and performance. However, if they didn’t quite capture your attention, then the upcoming Realme 11 series might just do the trick. The brand is already working on this new line, and in the latest update, two of the rumored handsets – the Realme 11 Pro and Realme 11 – have received BIS certification, indicating an imminent launch in India.

Realme 11 phones coming to India

Realme’s smartphone business relies chiefly on budget and mid-range smartphones. The brand also has several flagships planned but they don’t quite get the same consumer attention as the more affordable offerings. The Chinese company appears to be ready to soon launch new smartphones under the Realme 11 series. The lineup should include Realme 11 Pro+, Realme 11 Pro, and likely a standard Realme 11.

Today, the Pro model along with the vanilla Realme 11 has bagged Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) certification with model numbers RMX3771 and RMX3761. The listing did not reveal anything interesting about the two devices except confirming their India launch.

While the Realme 11 Pro has been spotted on many certification sites recently, there has been relatively little information available about the standard Realme 11 as it has appeared in fewer listings. Reports suggest the Pro phone will get a 6.7-inch Full HD+ screen with up to 12GB RAM and 1TB onboard storage.

It is rumored to come equipped with a sizable 4,780mAh battery and a 67W fast charging capability. The device will likely debut with the Android 13 out of the box. The handset’s camera specifications and chipset remains unknown at this time but more details are expected to surface in the near future.

After launching the Realme GT Neo 5 and Neo 5 SE, the company is now gearing up to unveil its next number series. Realme 11 Series is expected to include multiple models, such as the Realme 11 Pro and 11 Pro+. Although there hasn’t been any buzz around the standard version of Realme 11, a new mobile phone has surfaced on the TKDN website today, which might possibly be the anticipated model. Here are the details.

A Realme smartphone with model number RMX3760 has appeared on Indonesia’s TKDN website. While the listing did not reveal any interesting details about the handset, the model number hints it could be a Realme 11 series handset, possibly the vanilla Realme 11. We know it’s not the Realme 11 Pro or Pro+ as these phones have model numbers RMX3770 and RMX3740, respectively.

While there’s no info about the vanilla Realme 11, a recent TENAA listing revealed the Realme 11 Pro will come with a 6.7-inch FHD+ AMOLED display that may have a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it may be powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 1080 processor paired with up to 16GB of RAM and up to 1TB of internal storage. For photography, it may get a triple camera setup, headlined by a 200MP primary sensor. While the front may flaunt a 16MP selfie shooter. It may pack a 5,000mAh battery with 100W fast charging support.

It goes without saying that the vanilla model will not boast such high-end specs. Realme will likely introduce it as a balanced smartphone. However, it may share the display with the other two models in the lineup. Currently, other details are unknown. We hope to learn more in the coming days. Stay tuned.
