Realme is apparently planning on launch a number of new smartphones from some of its different series. The information about the various upcoming phones was shared by the company’s Vice President, Xu Qi.

The senior official of the Chinese smartphone maker recently stated that the company has plans for a couple of new smartphones from existing series as well as a brand new foldable phone. Starting from the GT series, the OEM plans to launch the new Realme GT Neo 5 as the latest model in the GT Neo series. Apart from this, the company also plans to unveil two GT Neo series model every year from now on.

Similarly, it will even launch two number series of phones per year as well. One model will launch in the middle of the year and the other will be released around the end of the year. There will also be one regular GT series model launching every year too, as per the executive. However, the most interesting launch plans from Realme is a new foldable phone. According to the Realme Vice President Xu Qi (Via @Sudhanshu1414), a new budget foldable smartphone is also in the works.

This means that the company is already working on such a device and that the development is underway. However, the official did not reveal any possible launch timeline for this new product or share any finer details regarding this foldable phone either. So, we have no idea what kind of features it has or even if it has a notebook style or clamshell folding design. This was all the information we have at the moment, so stick around for more updates.

Over the last couple of years, Realme has been working on diversifying its product portfolio. One of the new products was rumored to be a new foldable smartphone model. However, a new report has suggested that the company’s new handset with flexible display might not be launching anytime soon.

The news arrives from a TechRadar report, which included an exclusive interaction with Realme’s product manager Shreehari. The executive discussed the various technicalities of a vapor cooling system on smartphones. Furthermore, he also confirmed that the company has a team working on possibly announcing a new foldable device in the smartphone market.

However, the official did not reveal any specific timeline for this foldable phone’s release. In other words, it is likely not going to launch anytime soon. The Chinese smartphone maker has already expanded outside of smartphones alone and introduced smart TVs, tablets, audio accessories, laptops, IoT devices, and more under its belt. But despite its expansion efforts, the brand believes that a foldable smartphone might not be received well by its customer base.

According to Shreehari, Realme’s “consumers are very different from other brands, and their needs are different too.” Furthermore, he also added that smartphones with foldable displays will not be the right choice for its target customers. While the launch of the Realme foldable smartphone is still uncertain, we can not completely rule out the possibility of its release.

Additionally, Realme is also said to be working foldables and Under-display camera phones.

Realme’s VP Madhav Sheth revealed that the upcoming Realme GT Neo3 will debut in the H2 of this year. That being said, it is still a while until we see the phone in the stores.

In addition to this, Sheth shared that the company is experimenting with different smartphone form factors to bring to the commercial market. Interestingly, the company is also taking a look at the foldable form-factor meaning that we can expect a foldable from the Realme soon. Unfortunately, Sheth didn’t reveal the launch timeline of the foldable device.

Moreover, a Realme smartphone with Under-display camera(UDC) technology is also in the works. This UDC phone will be released sometime in H2 this year. We can expect the GT Neo3 and this device to arrive at a similar time frame.

Last year, Realme showcased the MagDart magnetic charging system that’s similar to Apple’s MagSafe. However, it is yet to be commercialized. Sheth also had a few words on this, he said that the MagDart’s launch is due since it offers a few comprises, despite being optimized. He revealed that the MagDart charging technology comes with a compromise of either a thicker phone or a smaller battery capacity.
